Happy New Year

  • Jan 1, 2008
  • Post a comment

I think Neil Gaiman's wishes for 2008 are the coolest ones I've read today, so I'll quote them: "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't to forget make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

Maliki and her kawaï cats, my little Tuesday pleasure. The sis bought me the book as a Christmas present, it's really beautiful. Girly pink. But not all girly pink inside, in fact. Rather clever I think.

Le dragon à plusieurs têtes et le dragon à plusieurs queues

  • Dec 1, 2007

          Un envoyé du Grand Seigneur
Préférait, dit l'histoire, un jour chez l'Empereur,
Les forces de son maître à celles de l'Empire.
          Un Allemand se mit à dire :
          « Notre prince a des dépendants
          Qui, de leur chef, sont si puissants
Que chacun d'eux pourrait soudoyer une armée. »
          Le chiaoux, homme de sens,
          Lui dit: « Je sais par renommée
Ce que chaque Électeur peut de monde fournir;
          Et cela me fait souvenir
D'une aventure étrange, et qui pourtant est vraie.
J'étais en un lieu sûr, lorsque je vis passer
Les cent têtes d'une hydre au travers d'une haie.
          Mon sang commence à se glacer;
          Et je crois qu'à moins on s'effraie.
Je n'en eus toutefois que la peur sans le mal :
          Jamais le corps de l'animal
Ne put venir vers moi, ni trouver d'ouverture.
          Je rêvais à cette aventure,
Quand un autre dragon, qui n'avait qu'un seul chef,
Et bien plus d'une queue, à passer se présente.
          Me voilà saisi derechef
          D'étonnement et d'épouvante.
Ce chef passe, et le corps, et chaque queue aussi:
Rien ne les empêcha; l'un fit chemin à l'autre.
          Je soutiens qu'il en est ainsi
          De votre empereur et du nôtre.

Jean de La Fontaine, Fable XII, Livre I.


Keys I found about this poem: a chiaoux is a Turkish envoy, here he's sent to the German Emperor. The one-head dragon could be Colbert who was ruling France - strongly - in 1663, whereas the Hydra could represent France's numerous foes.

Mine doesn't read books like the new generation can but he can still read the messages you send me (click on "my friend has a rabbit", its name is 'pekehaua'). Now Peke can also read subjects (and subjects only) of emails you send to him! ('his_name'@nabaztag.com, you know his name now, it's 'pekehaua')

Autumnal thoughts

  • Nov 3, 2007

Meeting someone new allows a rebuilding of our own character. Making ourselves fresh for the new one in our intimacy. Indeed we choose amongst our experience, our feelings, what to show him, what to share, what to give. This is not fabrication ou lies, this is a filter put on our life and emotions. We come out new to ourselves and this, beyond everything the other can bring us, is what makes meetings to wealthy.

Emo: state of mind in which you experience a light feeling of melancholy, an enjoyable spleen, a shared nostalgia. Listening to James Blunt or watching Love Actually makes me emo.
