Hej RM..
Ja han er en festlig fætter, Jens Raahauge, ja for den sags skyld samtlige ronkedorer, selv om Metz nu er yndlingen - den gl. trold..;) Programmet hører til favoritterne blandt danske indslag.
Med tak for Peter Poulsen kvitteres her med en flabethed (hvad du næppe havde ventet fra dén kant), eller rettere, med lidt fra Skovbostrands tidligere gæst: en sydfrakommen sanglærke med teaterblod strømmende fra sine vener, til glæde for os i eftertiden:
Buckower Elegien
Ginge da ein Wind Könnte ich ein Segel stellen. Wåare da kein Segel Machte ich eines aus Stecken und Plane.
Der Blumengarten
Am See, tief zwischen Tann Silber pappel Beschirmt von Mauer und Gesträuch ein Garten So weise angelegt mit monatlichen Blumen Daß er vom März bis zum Oktober blüht.
Hier, in der Früh, nicht allzu häufigm sitz ich Und wünsche mir, auch ich mög allezeit in den verschiedenen Wettern, guten, schlechten Dies oder jenes Angenehme zeigen.
- Bertolt Brecht.
mvh & nysselig weekend ditto..;) Simon

På fodtur med Tennyson, lige så farverig som efteråret under samme sol, samt er par poeter der betog ham o.a. i samtiden, som han betager os i vores:
Poets and their bibliographies.
Old poets foster’d under friendlier skies, Old Virgil who would write ten lines, they say, At dawn, and lavish all the golden day To make them wealthier in his readers eyes; And you, old popular Horace, you the wise Adviser of the nine-years-ponder’d lay, And you, that wear a wreath of sweeter bay, Catullus, whose dead songster never dies; If, glancing downward on the kindly sphere That once had roll’d you round an round the Sun, You see your Art still shrined in human shelves, You should be jubilant that you flourish’d here Before the Love of Letters, overdone, Had swampt the sacred poets with themselves.
- Tennyson.

Til natbordet...
TIRESIAS
I wish I were as in the years of old, While yet the blessed daylight made itself Ruddy thro’ both roofs of sight, and woke These eyes, now dull, but then so keen to seek The meanings ambush’d under al they saw, The flight of birds, the flame of sacrifice, What omens may forshadow fate to man And woman, and the secrets of the Gods. My son, the Gods, despite of human prayer, Are slower to forgive than human kings. The great God, Arés, burns in anger still Against the guiltless heirs of him fro Tyre, Our Cadmus, out of whom thou art, who found Beside the springs og Dircé, smote, and still’d Thro’ all its folds the multiudinous beast, The dragon, which our trembling fathers call’d The God’s own son.
A tale, that told to me, When but thine age, by age as winter-white As mine is now, amazed, but made me yearn For larger glimpses of that more than man Which rolls the heavens, and lifts, and lays the deep, Yet loves and hates with mortal hates and loves, And moves unseen among the ways of men.
Then, in my wanderings al the lands that lie Subjected to the Heliconian ridge Have heard this footstep fall, altho’ my wont Was more to scale the highest of the heights With some strange hope to see the nearer God.
One naked peak – the sister of the sun Would climb from out the dark, and linger there To silver all the valleys with here shafts – There once, but long ago, five-fold thy term Of years, I lay; the winds wre dead for heat; The noonday crag made the hand burn; and sick For shadow – not one bush was near – I rose Following a torrent till its myriad falls Found silence in the hollows underneath.
There in a secret olive-glade I saw Pallas Athene climbing from the bath In anger; yet one glittering foot disturb’d The lucid well; one snowy knee was prest Against the margin flowers; a dreadful light Came from her golden hair, her golden helm And all her golden armour on the grass, And from her virgin breast, and virgin eyes Remaining fixt on mine, till mine grew dark For ever, and I heard a voice that said “Henceforth be blind, for thou hast seen to much, And speak the truth that no man may believe.”
Son, in the hidden world of sight, that lives Behind this darkness, I behold her still, Beyond all works of those who carve the stone. Beyond all dreams of Godlike womanhood, Ineffable beauty, out of whom, at a glance, And as it were, perforce, upon me flash’d The power of prophesying - but to me No power – så chain’d and cupled with the curse Of blindness and their unbelief, who heard And heard not, when I spake of famine, plague, Shrine-shattering earthquake, fire, flood, thunder- bolt,
And angers of the Gods for evil done And expiation lack’d – no power on Fate, Theirs, or mine own! for when the crowd would roar For blood, for war, whose issue was their doom, To cast wise words among the multitude Was flinging fruit to lions; nor, in hours Of civil outbreak, when I knew the twain Would each waste each, and bring on both to yoke Of stronger states, was mine the voice to curb The madness of our cities and their kings.
Who ever turn’d upon his heel to hear My warnings that the tyranny of one Was prelude to the tyranny of all? My counsel that the tyranny of all Led backward to the tyranny of one? This power hath work’d no good to augth that lives,
And these blind hands were useless in their wars. O therefore that the unfulfill’d desire, The grief for ever born from griefs to be, The boundless yearning of the Prophet’s heart – Could that stand forth, and like a statue , rear’d To some great citizen, win all praise from all Who past it, saying, “That was he!”
In vain! Virtue must shape itself in deed, and those Whom weakness or necessity have cramp’d Within themselfes, immerging, each, his urn In his own well, draw solace as he may.
Menaceus, thou hast eyes, and I can hear Too plainly what full tides of onset sap Our seven high gates, and what a weight of war Rides on those ringing axles! Jingle of bits, Shouts, arrows, tramp of the hornfooted horse That grind the glebe to powder! Stony showers Of that ear-stunning hail of Arés crash Along the sounding walls. Above, below, Shock after shock, the song-built towers and gates Reel, bruised and butted with the shuddering War-thunder of iron-rams; and from within The city comes a murmur void of joy, Lest she be taken captive – maidens, wives, And mothers their babblers of the dawn, And oldest age in shadow from the night, Falling about their shrines before their Gods, And wailing “Save us.”
And they wail to thee! These eyeless eyes, that cannot see thine own, See this, that only in thy virtue lies The saving of our Thebes; for, yesternight, To me, the great God Arés, whose one bliss Is war, and human sacrifice – himself Blood-red from battle, spear and helmet tipt With stormy light as on a mast at sea, Stood out before a darkness, crying “Thebes, Thy Thebes shall fall and perish, for I loathe The seed of Cadmus – yet if one of these By his own hand – if one of these ––“
My son, No sound is breathed so potent to coerce, And to conciliate, as their names who dare For that sweet mother land which gave them birth Nobly to do, nobly to die. Their names, Graven on memorial columns, are a song Heard in the future; few, but more than wall And rampart, their examples reach a hand Far thro’ all years, and everywhere they meet And kindle generous purpose, and the strength To mould it into action pure as theirs.
Fairer thy fate than mine, if life’s best end Be to end well! and thou refusing this, Unvenerable will thy memory be While men shall move the lips: but if thou dare – Thou, one of these, the race of Cadmus – then No stone is fitted in yon marble girth Whose echo shall not tongue thy glorious doom, Nor in this pavement but shall ring thy name To every hoof that clangs it, and the springs Of Dircé laving yonder battle-plain, Heard from the roofs by night, will murmur thee To thine own Thebes, while Thebes thro’ thee shall stand Firm-based with all her Gods.
The Dragon’s cave Half hid, they tell me, now in flowing vives – Where once he dwelt and whence he roll’d himself At dead of night – thou knowest, and the smooth rock Before it, altar-fashion’d, where of late The woman-breasted Sphinx, with wings drawn back, Folded her lion paws, and look’d to Thebes. There blanch the bones of whom she slew, and these Mixt with her own, because the fierce beat found A wiser than himself, and dash’d herself Dead in her rage: but thou art wise enough, Tho’ young, to love thy wiser, blunt the curse Of Pallas, gear, and tho’ I speak the truth Believe I speak it, let thine own hand strike Thy youthful pulses into rest and quench The red God’s anger, fearing not to plunge Thy torch of life in darkness, rather – thou Rejoicing that the sun, the moon, ste stars Send no such light upon the ways of men As one great deed.
Thither, my son, and there Thou, that hast mever known the embrace of love, Offer thy maiden life.
This useless hand! I felt one warm tear fall upon it. Gone! He will achieve his greatness.
But for me, I would that I were gather’d to my rest, And mingled with the famous kings of old, On whom about their ocean-islands flash The faces of the Gods . the wise man’s word, Here trampled by the populace underfoot, There crown’d with worship – and these eyes will find The men I knew, and watch the chariot whirl About the goal again, and hunters race The shadowy lion, and the warrior-kings, In height and prowess more than human, strive Again for glory, while the golden lyre Is ever sounding in heroic ears Heroic hymns, and every way the vales Wind, clouded with the grateful incense-fume Of those who mix all odour to the Gods On one far height in one far-shining fire.
__
“One height and one far-shining fire” And while I fancied that my friend For this brief idyll would require A less diffuse and opulent end, And would defend his judgment well, If I should deem it over nice –– The tolling of his funeral bell Broke on my Pagan Paradise, And mixt the dream of classic times, And all the phantoms of the dream, With present grief, and made the rhymes, That miss’d his living welcome, seem Like would-be guests an hour too late, Who down the highway moving on With easy laughter find the gate Is bolted, and the master gone. Gone into darkness, that full light Of friendship! past, in sleep, away By night, into the deeper night! The deeper night? A clearer day Than our poor twilight dawn on earth –– If night, what barren toil to be! What life, so maim’d by night, were worth Our living out? Not mine to me Remembering all the golden hours Now silent, and so many dead, And him the last; and laying flowers, This wreath, above his honour’d head, Shall fade with him into the unknown, My close of earth’s experience May prove as peaceful as his own.
- Tennyson.

Go'morgen Simon
Tak for natbordslæsning og flere forslag til det smilende natbord ... :)) Her er så et forslag til morgenbordets sangglæde:
En stille, høstlig brusen igennem bøgeskoven går, og som en vinges susen går leen skår i skår; og luftens bølger kløves, thi storkens unger prøves højt over bondens gård.
Det høje havedige, hvor hyld og rose blomstred nys, har ødt sit blomsterrige og slukt sit kongelys; men bærret har sin sødme og æblets kind får rødme fra solens sidste kys.
Og tidseltoppen dunes, som om det var til bomuldshøst, og hasselnødden brunes til alle småfolks lyst. Med blomster får det være, thi nu vil alting bære og række frem til høst!
Du skønne livets orden, at der på forår følger høst, at der er mer end vorden, og mer end ungdomslyst: Bring korn i lo og lade! bring frugt bag dunkle blade! bring hjertet fred og trøst!
Chr. Richardt
Bedste hilsner RoseMarie
