why fate/stay night?
I've decided to build this shrine since there are so few FSN related fansite on the net (or well not Japanese ones). This is probably the main second reason why I can justify the presence of
Dies Irae on the net! But again, the first reason is my ever growing passion for this
amazing serie. I hope this site would become mainly a way to introduce people to Fate/Stay night, that's all...all the times I fall in love with something I can feel the irrisistable tentation to spread my love to those who're still ignoring the subject of my passion.
And as Dante Alighieri said:
"Here force failed my high fantasy; but my desire and will were moved already-like a wheel revolving uniformly by the Love that moves the sun and the others stars".
So it's for the sake of my love for FSN and also for a challenge with myself and my costancy.
why dies irae?
I confess I have never loved that much Latin (although I had good marks, I have never ebjoyed it properly), but I'm lately using some
incipit or even expressions to name my sites. The reason? Oh I don't think it's a matter of sound (Latin isn't a "sweet language" after all), but
probably because Romans had the virtue to express complex ideas in a few, significant words. That's it!
dies irae can be translated as
time/day of judgement and I think it perfectly suits Fate/Stay night, for the strong mystical component of the story itself, and mainly
because the victory of a master can be associated to a sort of judgement, for the solennity of the ceremony, for the intrinsic meaning this process gains for the winner and for the utopic aspects of the results of the War: having the chance to realize your deepest dream is like making an inner analisys of your persona, judjing what's more important for you, your highest priority in life (or death).
I hope this explanation is enough satisfying (and I know, I can't never think about good titles!)
