Four Fools
- Saint Sindelius of Pilates
Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell:
No God, no Demon of severe response,
Deigns to reply from Heaven or from Hell.
Then to my human heart I turn at once.
Heart! Thou and I are here, sad and alone;
I say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain!
O Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan,
To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain.
Why did I laugh? I know this Being’s lease,
My fancy to its utmost blisses spreads;
Yet would I on this very midnight cease,
And the world’s gaudy ensigns see in shreds;
Verse, Fame, and Beauty are intense indeed,
But Death intenser-Death is Life’s high meed.
¿Por qué reí esta noche? Ninguna voz dirá: Ningún dios, ningún
demonio de la respuesta severa, deigns para contestar de cielo o de
infierno. Entonces a mi corazón humano doy vuelta inmediatamente.
¡Corazón! Mil y yo estamos aquí, triste y solamente; ¿Yo digo, por
qué reí? ¡Dolor del mortal de O! ¡Oscuridad De O! ¡Oscuridad! debo
siempre gimo,
para preguntar cielo e infierno y el corazón en
inútil. ¿Por qué reí? Sé el arriendo de este ser, mi suposición a
sus extensiones extremas de las dichas; Con todo I en esta misma
medianoche cesaría, y los ensigns llamativos del mundo ven en
fragmentos; El verso, Fama, y la belleza es intensa de hecho,
solamente la intenso-Muerte de la muerte es colmo de la vida meed.

John Keats: Why Did I Laugh Tonight? No Voice Will Tell http://bryantmcgill.com/wiki/poetry/john_keats/why_did_i_laugh_tonight_no_voice_will_t
i’d like to pre-suppose a toast to the Genius with the goat hooves; Now is in Forever
“Semele, penetrated by the divine effluence, regenerated and purified by this consecration, dies struck by lightning and with her dies the genius of terrestrial love, the genius with the goat hooves” Gustave Moreau

Gaiety in the Graveyard
“As I walk gaily by a Graveyard
I notice…
all the words on the tombstones are faded
did the planted bodies grow modest after birthing free from mortality?
or do our eyes grow blindly jaded?
Either way, all the words on the tombstones are fated”
- Sparrow Del Mundo
Con los ojos cerrados - Octavio Paz
Con los ojos cerrados
Te iluminas por dentro
Eres la piedra ciega
Noche a noche te labro
Con los ojos cerrados
Eres la piedra franca
Nos volvemos inmensos
Sólo por conocernos
Con los ojos cerrados———————————
With eyes closed
With eyes closed
You light up within
You are blind stone
Night after night I carve you
With eyes closed
You are frank stone
We have become enormous
Just knowing each other
With eyes closed
sea, it swimming
Tuesday Evening Melody: Pixies by Piano
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
The beautiful world of Tumblr delivers a gem to the threshold of our blogging door with this marvelous rendition of a Pixies classic. And, telegrammarian couldn’t have described this piano music any better:
Maxence Cyrin is one hell of a cover artist and pianist. His music has appeared in a number of films, and this cover of “Where is My Mind” from his album Novo Piano is a perfect example of how awesome at piano covers he really is. It was also in the film It’s Kind of a Funny Story (2010).
Basically, if you love the Pixies and you love piano, this song is tailor-made for your ears. If you’re into Nirvana, The Arcade Fire, MGMT, and/or Beyonce (and many more) AND you love piano, then his album Novo Piano is tailor-made for your ears. Check it out, guys. Do it. DO IIIIT.
