Mr. Paris's livejournal

I'm new here so sorry if I mess up something, but hello all.

Mr. Paris updated his lj today and it's in latin. Here's the post

Ab imo pectore, aegri somnia:

Minatur innocentibus qui parcit nocentibus... et non omnia moriar.

Graviora manent; alis volat propiis.

Haec olim meminisse iuvabit.

It's in Latin, and I have a partial translation, but not quite enough to make sense of.

Alright, so I'm a bit rusty, but if memory serves...

[---] suggestions.

Pious Deciet <--title of the post
From the depth of my chest, I have ill dreams [come these nightmares]
threatening the innocent who spare the guilty... and not all of them die.
Painfully waiting; flying on the wings of the [greatful/blessed] dead.
It will help to remember this in the future.

So, it's not perfect, but it's still a bit chilling.

Why will it be helpful?

Hi Codobus,

Can you tell me/us the link to Mr. Parrish's/Paris livejournal? Maybe there are some hints in the source to go with this latin text.

The journal is at www.livejournal.com/users/mr_paris/. I doubt you'll find anything in the source due to it being an actual livejournal, but have at it.

@Glitch
I don't remember anything at all from those days, although it wasn't all that long ago, really.

But with the help of this you would get:

From the bottom of my chest, a sick man's dreams [which is nightmares, I agree]:
He threatens the innocent who spares the guilty [that's from a different google source, you got it quite nailed I guess]...and not all of me will die.
Greater dangers await; she ['it' makes more sense, right?] flies with her[its] own wings.
Time heals all wounds.


A lot of phrases in this one, huh?

And btw, the Latin from his profile is
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
which means
Who shall keep watch over the guardians?

Keepers of Fire, anyone?

Thanks for the link Wink

Is there any chance or way to see, what comments Mr. Paris has written in other ljs? His profile tells us about 19 comments. Maybe he has written comments on other ljs than Anne's.

@abraxas
*casts a downward glance* Salvae, Magister....
yeah, so I don't remeber my declensions very well. Can't believe that I was that far off in the end...

But what does it mean, still?

Looking at the second line, I don't suppose it might be "the innocent who 'spared' the guilty" referring to the writer being the one who spared the guilty(who that is, I don't know). Which then would imply that though the writer is threatened, not all of him will die i.e. the ghost and mysterious messages floating around. I don't know if that's feasable, what about you guys?

As far as the third line, maybe it is 'she' and it's referring to Anne?

Just a few of my thoughts

i don't know if this is coincidence or not but the post was made at Oct. 13th, 2005 | 12:00 am. I found it kind of wierd but it could just be from chance.

Has anyone been able to glean the schedule for his American visit? Could this post be connected somehow?

He did mention in Annie's journal that he had to "meet some people" or something before he tried to get in her pants.
