In a luscious classroom in an old church, a priest stands in front of the room, filled with female
students in uniform, apparently giving them a lesson in literature.
Zoom in on one particular female student, who is iterating an answer to a question:
"Censa. It is an editorial."
A voice from the background asks:
"What is Censa? And what is an editorial?"
"It is a book authored by Father X. It is the most detailed and thoughtful critique of all of the
literary work and poetry that was produced by humanity along the ages. He allows us to discuss
the contents of the book in class, and it is an invaluable education. We like Father X."
"Father X stands accused of heresy."
The face of the girl shows signs of confusion. She is sitting in what looks like an interrogation
session by men, in a plain corner of the church.
"I remember one time I had an exchange with him."
View goes back to the ornate classroom full of students, where the girl is standing and asking
the priest a question, in Latin. He replies, also in Latin. They exchange a short back and forth, in
Latin.
"But what does that mean?" The interrogating voice asks.
"Censa."
"What in the world does "Censa" mean?"
"An editooorrial." Enunciates the girl, stretching the o and stressing the r.
Then I wake up from the dream, barely remembering the two latin sentences uttered, but
repeating the words "censa" and "editorial".
I dream in Latin now!
