Voici l'entrée, vide, discrètetement illuminée comme une musée nocturne – la terasse, avec ses torchères ondoyantes par un soir d'Avent étrangement doux – laissant le vestibule et les murmures de voix – la chambre immaculée immaculée et la musique de danse derrière le mur – et le bar à cocktails mondains – le bassin où le nageur s'entrâine, longeur après longeur, il en n'a jamais assez, il doit y mettre de sien – enfin, tournant vers le haut au coin du sombre couloir vient la fille noire et pâle, altière, déterminée et de style épuré, ainsi qu'un moderne avion de chasse suédois.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://holbfr.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Poétudes</a><br /><br />SONNET XXXIX FOR KATIE <br /><br />I went downtown, saw Katie in the nude <br />on Common Avenue, detracted soltitude <br />as it were, like a dream-state rosely hued, <br />like no one else could see her; DAMN!

We also learnt about the Roman Emperors and so on.<br />Ted Jenner is also fascinated by postmodern and modern writing (and some ideas such as those of Heidegger, some Buddhism, and Alan Watt I think; certain modern US (and other) writers as well as these ancient texts) of all kinds so he kind of bridges the poles so to speak.<br /><br />His book 'Writers in Residence and Other Captive Fauna.' is great. It deals also with his really fascinating time in Malawi. I found it very intense.<br /><br />Oh, and your translations of Sappho are witty and good - BUT - I cant ever accept a better than the one about time passing than is translated by Aldous Huxley in 'Texts and Pretexts'... perhaps the old lady was me in disguise!!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272507198753290435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29676463.post-41749290408217773012009-11-04T17:24:24.411+13:002009-11-04T17:24:24.411+13:00The old lady should come clean already - she obvio...The old lady should come clean already - she obviously got into Latin for the academically-sanctioned depravity.
