Lucan
Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (November 3, 39 AD – April 30, 65 AD), better known in English as Lucan (/ˈluːkən/), was a Roman poet, born in Corduba (modern-day Córdoba), in the Hispania Baetica. Despite his short life, he is regarded as one of the outstanding figures of the Imperial Latin period. His youth and speed of composition set him apart from other poets.
Life
Three brief ancient accounts allow for the reconstruction of a modest biography – the earliest attributed to Suetonius, another to an otherwise unknown Vacca, and the third anonymous and undated – along with references in Martial, Cassius Dio, Tacitus's Annals, and one of Statius's Silvae. Lucan was the son of Marcus Annaeus Mela and grandson of Seneca the Elder; he grew up under the tutelage of his uncle Seneca the Younger. Born into a wealthy family, he studied rhetoric at Athens and was probably provided with a philosophical and Stoic education by his uncle.
He found success under Nero, became one of the emperor's close friends and was rewarded with a quaestorship in advance of the legal age. In 60 AD, he won a prize for extemporizing Orpheus and Laudes Neronis at the quinquennial Neronia, and was again rewarded when the emperor appointed him to the augurate. During this time he circulated the first three books of his epic poem, Pharsalia (labelled De Bello civili in the manuscripts), which told the story of the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey.
Lucan, Dublin
Lucan (Irish: Leamhcán, meaning "place of elms") is a suburban town in South Dublin. It is located 13 km from Dublin city centre and is situated on the River Liffey and River Griffeen. It is located just off the N4 road and is close to the county boundary with County Kildare. It is also connected by road to Clondalkin, Palmerstown and Dublin city centre.
History
In the Irish language, 'leamhcán' means 'place of the elm trees'. Another interpretation "Place of the Marshmallows" is mentioned in Francis Elrington Ball's "History of the County Dublin" (1906), marshmallow being the flower and not the confectionery. "The name probably comes from a people that travelled by river, as Lucan is the first place that elm trees are encountered if travelling inland from the Liffey.
There is evidence of pre-historic settlement around Vesey Park, though not much archaeological investigation has been carried out in the area.
There is a suggestion that an ancient road that linked into the Tara network ran through what is now modern Lucan village, continuing up the hill towards Esker Cemetery.

1000 De Cuvinte
by: LagunaNu stiu daca cer prea mult
Ma intreb daca s-ar putea
Atunci cand te chem in gand
Sa apari in viata mea...
Sa-mi spui ca voi fi a ta
Si-n zori sa te pot avea
Doar pe tine...
Ce mult te-as tzine...
Langa mine...
Cat de mult as vrea
Doar pe tine...
Sa te pot avea...
Refren:
Dar nici 1000 de cuvinte cred ca nu m-ar ajuta
Sa iti spun ce am in minte sau cat de mult as vrea
Iubirea ta intr-o zi s-o pot avea...
Nici 1000 de cuvinte cred ca nu m-ar ajuta.
Dorinta sa-mi-o implinesti
Nu cred ca e foarte greu
Sa vii si sa imi soptesti
Ca eu voi fi mereu
A ta si ma vei iubi
Mai mult in fiecare zi
Doar pe tine...
Pe tine te-as tzine...
Langa mine...
Cat de mult as vrea
Doar pe tine...
Sa te pot avea...
Refren:...
Langa mine...
Cat de mult as vrea
Doar pe tïne...
Sa te pot avea...
