"A primeira vez que vi o Terry Lennox estava ele perdido de bêbedo dentro de um Rolls Royce último modelo estacionado à entrada do terraço do Dancers Club. O guarda do parque trouxera o carro até à entrada e segurava a porta porque o pé esquerdo de Terry Lennox ainda balouçava no exterior, como se ele se estivesse esquecido de que o tinha. Tinha uma cara jovem, mas o cabelo era branco como papel. Pelos olhos reconhecia-se que estava bêbedo até aos cabelos, mas de resto tinha um aspecto igual ao de qualquer outro tipo simpático vestindo um «smoking» e tendo gasto mais do que devia numa casa que existe precisamente para esse fim"...

Em primeiro lugar, um tipo que acaba de festejar o trigésimo sétimo aniversário deve compreender que o trabalho e o sentimento não são compatíveis, sobretudo quando se trata deste género de trabalho; e, em segundo lugar, que, se continuo a ser sentimental, terei de aprender a tocar harpa, pois precisarei disso para responder às perguntas de São Pedro, quando me apresentar à porta do Paraíso"...

Anos mais tarde, Maigret poderia mostrar o local exacto onde aquilo se produzira, o sítio do passeio onde tivera os pés, a pedra da fachada em que se projectava a sua sombra e poderia até reconstituir não só os mínimos pormenores do cenário mas também reencontrar o odor esparso, as vibrações do ar que lhe retransmitiam o sabor de uma recordação da sua infância"...

Medieval Painting - Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry


.

Carregado por  em 22 de Jul de 2010
Les Tres Riches Heures was painted by the Lumbourg brothers , Paul , Hermann and Jean . They came from Nijmegen in what is now the Netherlands but were generally referred to as Germans . Very little is known about them ; they are believed to have been born in the late 1370s or 1380s and were born into an artistic family , their father being a wood sculptor and their uncle being an artist working variously for the French Queen and for the Duc de Bourgogne . They seem to have followed in their uncle`s footsteps and by 1402 had entered into the service of the Duc de Bourgogne as artists . By 1408 they had entered the service of Jean , Duc de Berry , one of the most notable art lovers in France . They are known to have executed several other pieces of work apart from the Tres Riches Heures but most of these , with the major exception of the Tres Belles Heures , seem to have been lost . In around February 1416 all three Limbourg brothers died before the age of thirty , apparently killed by an epidemic .The Tres Riches Heures is the classic example of a medieval book of hours . This was a collection of the text for each liturgical hour of the day . Calendars , prayers , psalms and masses for certain holy days were commonly included . The pictures in this video are from the calendar section of the Tres Riches Heures . The Limbourgs used a wide variety of colours obtained from minerals , plants or chemicals and mixed with either arabic or tragacinth gum to provide a binder for the paint . Amongst the more unusual colours they used were vert de flambe , a green obtained from crushed flowers mixed with massicot , and azur d`outreme , an ultramarine made from crushed Middle Eastern lapis-lazuli , used to paint the brilliant blues. The pictures was painted some time between 1412 and 1416 and is arguably the most beautiful part of the manuscript ; it is certainly the best known , being on of the great art treasures of France ...

Visitas Noturnas - Gil Vicente V O

A visita
1998
nanquim sobre papel
153 x 171 cm


é pesadelo de Goya
a desejada visita
Desde um abraço sonhado
desde meu calor epidérmico
deste teu forte rubor
Enfim!
vem o sono da razão
despertar-nos a carne
São dois o mesmo desejo,
é de ambos o mesmo sonho
ficando dentro de um quadro
A visita,
que se dorme sem querer,
querida,
detém-se na composição, estrutura
que então se perpetua e
fascina
pra não se concretizar.
Mas instalam-se na pele
minha excitada impressão digital
tua impressionada excitação genital
que se acabam
em águas mornas
quando nos acordamos
eu em minha cama
tu na tua
Nessa líquida fronteira
entre sono e vigília
percebemos, ainda quente,
pergunta perfumada no ar:
quem visitou quem?

O Navio Negreiro - Castro Alves



» sinopse
O navio negreiro é um poema de Castro Alves e um dos mais conhecidos da literatura brasileira. O poema descreve com imagens e expressões terríveis a situação dos africanos arrancados de suas terras, separados de suas famílias e tratados como animais nos navios negreiros que os traziam para ser propriedade de senhores e trabalhar sob as ordens dos feitores.


Um navio negreiro.
Foi escrito em São Paulo, no ano de 1869, quando o poeta tinha vinte e dois anos de idade, e quase vinte anos depois da promulgação da Lei Eusébio de Queirós, que proibiu o tráfico de escravos, em 4 de setembro de 1850. A proibição, no entanto, não vingou de todo, o que levou Castro Alves a se empenhar na denúncia da miséria a que eram submetidos os africanos na cruel travessia oceânica. É preciso lembrar que, em média, menos da metade dos escravos embarcados nos navios negreiros completavam a viagem com vida. O navio negreiro é composto de seis partes, e alterna métricas variadas para obter o efeito rítmico mais adequado a cada situação retratada no poema.
.
Prólogo
I
Stamos em pleno mar... Doudo no espaço Brinca o luar — dourada borboleta; E as vagas após ele correm... cansam Como turba de infantes inquieta.
Stamos em pleno mar... Do firmamento Os astros saltam como espumas de ouro... O mar em troca acende as ardentias, — Constelações do líquido tesouro...
Stamos em pleno mar... Dois infinitos Ali se estreitam num abraço insano, Azuis, dourados, plácidos, sublimes... Qual dos dous é o céu? qual o oceano?...
Stamos em pleno mar. . . Abrindo as velas Ao quente arfar das virações marinhas, Veleiro brigue corre à flor dos mares, Como roçam na vaga as andorinhas...
Donde vem? onde vai? Das naus errantes Quem sabe o rumo se é tão grande o espaço? Neste saara os corcéis o pó levantam, Galopam, voam, mas não deixam traço.

Those were the days by Mary Hopkin
Paintings by Edward Hopper

Those Were The Days
(Gene Raskin / RussianTraditional)
Album:  Post Card

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours,
Think of all the great things we would do?

Chorus:
Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way!
Di di di di…

Then, the busy years went rushing by us.
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If, by chance, I'd see you in the tavern,
We'd smile at one another and we'd say,

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

Just tonight, I stood before the tavern.
Nothing seemed the way it used to be.
In the glass, I saw a strange reflection.
Was that lonely woman really me?

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…

Through the door, there came familiar laughter.
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same.

Those were the days, my friend!
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we'd choose.
We'd fight and never lose.
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!
Di di di di…  [big finish!]

.degnoser 6 de Março de 2009 — Le temps des fleurs - Dalida
E.Marnay/E.Raskin

Dans une taverne du vieux Londres
Où se retrouvaient des étrangers
Nos voix criblées de joies montaient de l'ombre
Et nous écoutions nos cœurs chanter

C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût un miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Et puis sont venus des jours de brume
Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs
Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune
À chercher la taverne dans mon cœur

Tout comme au temps des fleurs
Où l'on vivait sans peur
Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Et ce soir je suis devant la porte
De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus
Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte
Mon cœur déjà ne la connaît plus

C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel.

"Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", lit. "By the long road"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. The Georgian Tamara Tsereteli (1900-1968) in 1925[1] and Alexander Vertinsky in 1926[2] made what were probably the earliest recordings of the song. However, it is best remembered for Mary Hopkin's 1968 recording, which was a top-ten hit in both the U.S. and the U.K.

History

Gene Raskin frequented the White Horse Tavern in New York's Greenwich Village the 1960s and the song lamented the passing of the golden folk days of Dylan, Paxton, Ochs, and The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem.
.
Although the song was popularized in the early 1960s by The Limeliters, Welsh singer Mary Hopkin did the best known recording. It was released on 30 August 1968, shortly after Hopkin was signed to the Beatles' newly created Apple label. Hopkin's recording was produced by Paul McCartney and became a #1 hit in the UK singles chart, and reached #2 in the US. The tune topped the Billboard Easy Listening survey.
.
Paul McCartney, who produced the session, also recorded Hopkin singing "Those Were The Days" in four other languages for release in their respective countries:
  • In Spain, Que Tiempo Tan Feliz,
  • In West Germany, An jenem Tag,
  • In Italy, Quelli Erano Giorni,
  • In France, Le temps des fleurs.
The UK and the USA had the B-side, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" which was written by Pete SeegerEcclesiastes), which had been a U.S. #1 hit for The Byrds (but largely taken from the book of in 1965.
.
"Those Were the Days" was catalogue number Apple 2 (APPLE 1 designation had been intended for the Beatles single "Hey Jude").
.
Hopkin's version was released on the back of her success on the television show Opportunity Knocks and around the time of its release popular singer Sandie Shaw was also asked to record the song by her management, feeling that it should be done by a "real" singer. Shaw's version was released as a single but did not beat the success of Hopkin's version.
.
In the mid 1970s, after Hopkin's contract with Apple ended, "Those Were the Days" and "Goodbye" were re-recorded with producer Tony Visconti. Only these re-recorded versions can be found on music compilation discs because Apple never allows its original recordings to be used.
.
In 2005, Dolly Parton released a cover of "Those Were the Days," which featured backing vocals by Mary Hopkin. That year, the song became the title track of Dolly Parton's album with the same name.

  • 1968 - Violetta Villas - Znowu Ciebie mam (in Polish).

As she wasn't happy with this song she wrote new lyrics herself in the 70s and performed this song under a new title "Miłością znów żyję" to this day.
  • Mary Hopkin and Sandie Shaw also sang the song in French, as well as in Italian, SpanishGerman. Both Shaw's and Hopkin's versions were released roughly around the same time, as a sort of competition between the two, to see whose single would fare better with the public.

Sandie Shaw has had all of her versions re-released on separate CDs, split up by language. and

Trivia

  • The melody of the song is instantly recognizable to tens of millions of Brazilians, although most of them are probably wholly unaware of its origins or original lyrics and title; it was used for years by Brazilian TV host Silvio Santos in his Show de Calouros, a Gong Show-like talent show, with the lyrics changed to introduce the judges and host of the show.
  • On Christmas 1975, the President of Equatorial Guinea, Francisco Macías Nguema, had 150 alleged coup plotters executed to the sound of a band playing Mary Hopkin's tune Those Were the Days in a national stadium.
  • "Those Were the Days" has been adopted by supporters of UK football league club Huddersfield Town FC, as their unofficial club song. The words are modified to "Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end - We won the league three times in row - we won the FA cup, and now we're going up - we are the Town - Oh yes we are the Town!"
  • The song also appeared in a documentary on American intellectual Norman Finkelstein entitled American Radical: The Trials of Norman Finkelstein.

ILUSIONISMO

* Victor Nogueira .
.
Ele há um tempo p’ra tudo na vida
Cantando hora, minuto, segundo;
Por isso sempre existe uma saída
Enquanto nós estivermos neste mundo.
.
Há um tempo para não fenecer
Há mar, sol, luar e aves com astros
Há uma hora p'ra amar ou morrer
E tempo para não se ficar de rastos.
.
P'ra isso e' preciso sabedoria
Em busca dum bom momento, oportuno,
Com ar, bom vinho, pão e cantoria,
Sem se confundir a nuvem com Juno.
