What’s the French for “fiddle-de-dee”?
But “fiddle-de-dee’s not English” (we

BY JOHN HOLLANDER

Reikia sulaukti žiemos,
kai sniego bus daug,
kai bastysis miškais
alkani briedžiai.

– Tada bus galima glostyt?

Ne, reikia šieno pakreikti,
kilpas paspęsti
ir laukti –
kantriai, ilgai...

– Ir tada bus galima glostyt?.

Ką tu! Reikia palaukti,
kol briedis įklius...

– Ir bus galima glostyt?

Tai pavojinga!
Juk briedis – žvėris.

Jo galvą reikia priremti prie žemės
ir smarkiai surišti kojas.
Blaškysis jisai kruvinai.

Kai pavargęs sunkiai alsuos,
vaikas gali prieiti
ir švelniai paglostyt...

Martinaitis, Marcelijus. Kukučio baladės: Eilėraščiai. – Vilnius: Vaga, 1977

I'd hear the horse pass water      Near my bed at night.

Yra vienas žmogus, kurio man dar niekada nebuvo kilęs noras nužudyti.
      Tai tu.
      Gali vaikščioti gatvėmis, gali gerti ir vaikščioti gatvėmis – aš tavęs nežudysiu.
      Nebijok. Miestas nepavojingas. Vienintelis miesto pavojus – tai aš.
      Aš vaikštau ir vaikštau gatvėmis – ir žudau.
      Bet tau nėra ko bijoti.
      Seku paskui tave tik todėl, kad man patinka tavo žingsnių ritmas. Tu svirduliuoji. Tai gražu. Galima pamanyti, jog tu šlubas. Ir kuprotas. Nors iš tikrųjų taip nėra. Kartkartėmis atsitiesi ir eini tiesiai. Bet man tu labiau patinki vėlyvomis nakties valandomis, kai būni nusilpęs, klupinėji, kūpriniesi.
[..]
Tu bijojai gimti, o dabar bijai mirti.
      Tu visko bijai.
      Nereikia bijoti.
      Tiesiog yra didysis ratas, kuris sukasi. Jis vadinamas Amžinybe.
      Tai aš suku didįjį ratą.
      Neturėtum manęs bijoti.
      Nei didžiojo rato.
      Vienintelis daiktas, kuris gali gąsdinti, kuris gali skaudinti, tai gyvenimas, o tu jį jau pažįsti.

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.”

Kvailystės, kurios įstringa galvoje - nagrinėjom su klase J.Biliūno Laimės Žiburį. Vienas žmogus mestelėjo, jog laimi tik tie, kurie pasiekia savo tikslą galutinai, o likusieji - nesvarbu, ar pabijoję kovoti, ar išdrįsę, bet sustabdyti pakelėje - yra susimovę. Jokio kompromiso, arba aukštumos, arba žemė - dabartinėje visuomenėje nera vidurkio. Susimovusi visuomenė :/ Susimovusi aš.

Tas pasiruošimas Šimtadieniui pribaigs mane ;>>> Tuntai agro plėvelės, marlės, dratų, guašo ir kaspinėlių man sapnuosis košmaruose:///  Plius karšti klijai - sugebėjau apsideginti ranką ;/ Kas sugalvojo šitą tradiciją??? :O

Lygiai prieš metus prisijungiau prie pertraukos bendruomenės. Veee :))) Ir kaip man su jumis pavyko ištvert tiek laiko? :OOO
