Hello Halloween!

Being in Florence, we picked up a brochure in a local tourist information spot. The brochure had different articles about Florence lifestyle and places worth visiting. One of the articles described a growing fashion of Halloween celebrations in Italy. Turns out that Italians are more and more adopting this day as another cause to party and celebrate. Exactly what I think about celebrations: if there is a cause to dress funny and party - let's do it!


Due to some misprint the article combined two different quotations in to one verse, which sounded like it was meant to be like this. I liked it very much and I want to wish everybody happy Halloween quoting this verse, though only part of us will actually see the real celebrations:

Double, double toil and trouble;
fire burn and cauldron bubble!
From ghoulies and ghosties
and long leggety beasties
and things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

First two lines are from Shakespeare's Macbeth, the other ones are supposed to be some old Scottish saying.
