Leonard Cohen∻”In My Secret Life”

My God, My Country~by rldubour

OUR POETRY CORNER

My God, My Country

Four score and twenty years our fore fathers brought forth to this continent.
As these words that were spoken I think this is what they meant.
Oh, sweet land of liberty.
There is freedom here for me.

Freedom, to do what I may do and do what I may say.
Freedom, is my country, freedom is my everyday.
My God, to You I pray.
That I shall always have my freedom the same in every way.

This is my land, this is my home.
This is my country where I’m free to roam.
We the people of these United States.
These words are open for debate.

For how can we all be one?
When we can’t undo the wrong that’s done.
Life itself is far to short so open your hearts and give.
Life for us all will someday end, so cherish these days you…

I have just read the tragic news on the freight train explosion in Lac Megantic, Canada. And seen the pictures and I could not help sharing this one in particular. Kind of apocalyptic and overwhelming.

The Cement Elephants ——— Independence Day

La Brea pits are still there…and so are the mastodons. Methane bubbles at a measured pace, somehow like the Ol’ Faithful….Around the entire area, under the asphalted and cemented square miles of city blocks, activity, captioned, measured, monitored, so the disasters from the past….remain in the past: the uncapped, oil wells, horizontal drilling, accumulation of methane rendering the air a explosive gaseous mix.. But forget not history, as history forgotten is repeating itself….Vigilance, keep the past in memory!

Debussy, Suite Bergamasque. Claudio Arrau, piano

Claude-Achille Debussy (1862 – 1918)
Suite Bergamasque
1. Prélude
2. Minuet
3. Clair de lune
4. Passepied
Claudio Arrau, piano.

La Suite Bergamasque de Claude Debussy es una suite para piano en varios movimientos. Aunque fue escrita en 1890, la obra no se publicó hasta 1905, y eso pese a que su autor intentó que no viese la luz, pues creía que esta obra de juventud estaba muy por debajo del nivel de sus composiciones más modernas.
La Suite toma su nombre de las máscaras de la Commedia dell’Arte de Bérgamo (Comedia del arte de Bérgamo) y está inspirada en las Fêtes galantes (Fiestas galantes) de Verlaine.

Daphnis et Chloé – Ravel – Dutoit

Ballet in three parts

Montreál Symphony Orchestra and Chorus

From Wikipedia: 

Daphnis et Chloé is a ballet with music by Maurice Ravel. Ravel described it as a “symphonie choréographique” (choreographic symphony). The scenario was adapted by Michel Fokine from an eponymous romance by the Greek writer Longus thought to date from around the 2nd century AD. Scott Goddard published a contemporary commentary that discussed the changes to the story that Fokine made to prepare a workable ballet scenario.^[1] The story concerns the love between the goatherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloé. The ballet is in one act and three scenes.

Ravel began work on the score in 1909 after a commission from Sergei Diaghilev. It was premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris by his Ballets Russes on June 8, 1912. The orchestra was conducted by Pierre Monteux, thechoreography was by Michel Fokine, and Vaslav Nijinsky and Tamara Karsavina danced the parts of Daphnis and Chloe. Léon Bakst designed the original sets.

Léo Ferré Avec le temps

Question, poetic thought by George-B

Question, poetic thought by George-B

I opened my mind to you
Hoping you would search inside
For clues about your future…

 I opened my mouth to you
Hoping you would search for clues
In the words coming out of it

I opened my thoughts to you, and put them
Neatly at the tips of my fingers,
and then forwarded them to you
Hoping you would understand my fingertips meaning

You have understood everything
Before I have done a thing…
You were living already inside of my thoughts,
and knew them,
as if you have been thinking them or
dreamed of them… 

Now, the question that remains is,
How did you accomplish that?

Quotation: George Eliot On nature repairs of her ravages (goes for humans too)

Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old … To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.

Today’s Birthday: JOHN PAUL JONES (1747)

John Paul Jones (1747)

One of the greatest heroes of the US Navy, Jones emigrated from Scotland at the start of the American Revolution. In 1779, while commanding the Bonhomme Richard, he engaged the British Serapis in battle. With his ship on fire and sinking, he answered a call to surrender by saying, “I have not yet begun to fight!” Eventually, the crew of the badly damaged Serapis surrendered, and Jones and his men boarded her. Where were Jones’s remains—lost for over a century—found in 1905? More… Discuss

Jan Hus Is Burned at the Stake (1415)

A Bohemian religious reformer, Hus was excommunicated in 1411 after taking a stand in the power struggle among the three figures claiming to be pope of the Catholic Church. He continued to preach, but his criticism led to a case of heresy against him, and he was invited to the Council of Constance to explain his views. Though promised safe conduct to the council, he was arrested, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake. What seemingly prescient thing did Hus do before traveling to Constance? More…Discuss

 

TWO MORE MEN HIV-FREE AFTER BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS

Doctors are reporting two more cases of HIV-positivepatients who underwent bone marrow transplants and now, years later, still have no detectable signs of the virus in their blood. While they are reluctant to label the patients cured at this early stage—one of the men has been off his anti-retroviral drug regimen for 15 weeks and the other just seven—the results thus far are encouraging. The men will continue to be closely monitored for any signs that the infection is rebounding. More…Discuss
