Apparently some of you noticed I haven't been around for some time....
It doesn't mean i lost interest in SG! Definitely no!
The sad truth is I have, for now, considerably less time than I used to to spend online. Cruel destiny! It happened just when interesting additions had been made to the SG features, and zillions new sets were going up!
I miss you!...

I was having a pretty rotten day a few days ago & came home to find your package in the mail--things switched around 180-degrees after that. I am indebted, mon frer. Thank you.

shocked Wow.. Holy Hannah. I thought you were out of here for good. It has been too long. I'm glad you are still with us, mate. Welcome back. I understand the need of you to stick by your Dad. Very kind and selfless of you. I admire that. I would do the same for my two wonderful parents. ..

Sooner then later I hope to see you around these here parts again. May you and your dad have a happy and joyous New year.
:Cheers:

As a contribution to Journal Poetry Day, an attempt in transposing in French prose the poem Flux just posted in her journal....

Premire partie: la chair

Pour complaire aux potes, mes devanciers,
ma lame, il faudrait que j'en use pour arracher la pierre
une image de toi ternelle, de marbre, de jaspe...

Ca ne m'intresse pas.

Te rendre pareille ces
divinits de la Grce

First they removed summer and replaced it with fall.... then on Monday they removed the 8 in my "age" window and replaced it with a 9....
I wonder what it all means.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i made it through the hurricane unscathed, and i'm sure your well wishes helped in that smile

No.. I wasnt a part of that castle scene. yikes. I went rogue from the strict traditional code of servitude. I can think for myself and serve honor before a master. Although, I have to say.. work is necessary. I will glady serve an employer if the coin is good and the cause is just. I'm thinking mercenary work..or even bodyguard jobs for the local kind hearted mechants. I will serve that type loyally to my very end. No more tin god shoguns for me.

Thank you for the birthday greeting. It made my day. I see you havent been online for a spell. You've had alot to do.. busy, eh? I just hope all the events keeping you away were not negative in nature. I wish you well. Take is easy.. and thanks again.

Last week they removed summer without warning and replaced it with some fall, complete with cold rain and storms.

I spent most of time far away from internet and its fabulous online communities for most of the last days, and I was so busy I didn't even thought of something poetry-related to post on Wednesday.... rendez-vous next Wednesday for more poetic postings?

A little time off once in a while is very pleasant. Sounds like you should have a holiday being busy like that smile

I'd love to hear even more poetry from you Tororo. I am fond of that last one. Do you know of any with an Autumn theme..? I have a love affair with that season. A poem celebrating it would be a treat.

Poetry day!
As I proved several times being unable to write a single verse worth reading (neither in English nor in French), I'll post a poem I love. It's by Giacomo Leopardi (from Il Zibaldone).

As I have a fondness for the French prose translation done by poet Ren Char, I'll post it too... for benefit of hypothetic french-reading visitors!

I also have found an...

I ran both the Italian & French versions thru the machine--the Italian version was, well, still mostly in Italian, but the French one went thru okay, altho not quite as elegant as the (uncredited) version you've included:

The infinity

Still pleased me this hill so only and this hedge that, by so many lengths, steal the horizon.
But when I sit down to look at it, by my thought create themselves beyond her of interminable spaces, of the silences surhmains, a very deep peace; where almost my heart is afraid. And when I hear wind to murmur in the plants, I go comparing the infinity of this silence to this voice, and remember of the eternal, the dead seasons, and the one present and living, and of his/her/its swish. So in this immensity is annihilated my thought: and naufrager I am soft in this sea.

oh, i bet you say that to all the girls! wink

Today's Tororo Fun Fact:
the latest update in my profile was inspired by a recent entry in ratsonjulia's journal... Guess?
reinhardt:
wow - reservoir dogs fish names is a very good idea. it's oddly turning out that the pink guy is the boss of the tank, so there could be some cool movie character/fish personality correlation.

i agree about the tattoo thing. i mean a small tattoo is hardly as cool as a platinum tooth, but i have to start somewhere smile

Hot Europe Grows Hotter, the New York Times says.
They sure know how to write headlines. It sums up perfectly what's presently happening here.
