Pe trepte in jos

Calatorii  fara Baedeker 2  
M-am intors de acolo. Coasta Amalfi  trebuie neaparat parcursa si bifata in aceasta viata. Demeter scrie cuprinzator aici. Dar ce faci data viitoare ? Sa vezi ce nu e trecut in ghidul turistic si nu e plin de japonezi fotografi sau americani in jurul lumii ?  : Un Salerno noaptea inedit?  un drum pe urma celor 3 filme turnate acum 60 de ani de Rosellini? .Un drum la Paestum la templele lui Poseidon,Hera si Afrodita ?

Acum o saptamina,
O calatorie- o recomand-  coborind pe jos, natural, din munte  spre Marea Tireniana  pe trepte de la Scala la Amalfi trecind prin Minuta si Pontone.Este drumul parcurs de localnici acum  500-1000 de ani.este drumul parcurs in 1838 de pictorul Wilkie Collins. L-am parcurs in 5 ore si 70 de fotografii care se gasesc aici.No turists ! 22 grade, soare toata ziua.  Aici e slideshow-ul

Garcia Lorca+ Leonard Cohen – Mic vals la Viena

Pequeño Vals Vienès
En Viena hay diez muchachas,
un hombro donde solloza la muerte
y un bosque de palomas disecadas.
Hay un fragmento de la mañana
en el museo de la escarcha.
Hay un salón con mil ventanas.
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals con la boca cerrada.

Leonard Cohen (a carui fiica se numeste Lorca)  spune

“I was 15 years old and I was wandering through the bookstores of Montreal and I fell pon one of his books,and I opened it,and my eyes saw those lines “I want to pass through the Arches of Elvira,to see her thighs and begin weeping”. I thought “This is where I want to be”… I read alone “Green I want you green “I turned another page “The morning through fistfulls of ants in your face” I turned another page “Her thighs slipped away like school of silver minnows”. I knew that I have had come home. So it is with a great sense of gratitude that I am able to repay my debt to Federico Garcia, at least a corner, a fragment, a crumb, a hair, an electron of my debt by dedicating this song, this
translation of his great poem “Little Viennese Waltz”, “Take This Waltz”.

Ay, ay, ay ay!
Take this “I will always love you” waltz.
In Vienna I will dance with you
in a costume with a river’s head.
See how the hyacinths line my banks!

Now in Vienna theres ten pretty women
Theres a shoulder where death comes to cry
Theres a lobby with nine hundred windows
Theres a tree where the doves go to die
Theres a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the gallery of frost
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws

Aseara clientii francezi m-au suparat rau de tot.  Si ca razbunare si linistire sufleteasca 🙂  am cautat sa  recitesc despre Incidentul  Fachoda in care englezii i-au umilit rau de tot Puteti citi aici

Fata cu un singur ochi – Florence&theMachine

Un film bun vazut azi
Noirs et Blancs en couleur
O comedie neagra din 1977 franco-germana-Coasta de fildes, De fapt Coasta de fildes a primit oscarul pentru cel mai bun film strain.Este filmul de debut al lui Jean Jaques Arnaud
Colonisti francezi afla cu intirziere ca a inceput primul razboi mondial si tabara(fara sa le-o ceara nimeni, doar asa din patriotism 🙂 si findca se cam plictiseau ) pe vecinii lor colonisti germani, cu care pina atunci se intelesesera de minune, asmutind negrii lor contra negrilor celorlalti.E un film savuros si amarui despre natura umana.
