Rebus for Breakfast

Desayuno con Rankin and Rebus.

One year later

The longer I lived in Spain,
the less photos I took.
I felt at home.

One year later
I am glad I took at least these
on "my" terrace.

Welcome in summer time

Laughing Lhursday* – Deadly serious

How serious is it, really ... ?
Deadly serious

* [For first time visitors]:
Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

Saturday Night Music – Il n'y a plus rien

Léo Ferré (24 August 1916 – 14 July 1993)

Hölderlin Looking Outward

Looking outward
The open day is bright with pictures for everyone,

when green fields appear on the distant plain,

before the light of evening yields to twilight,
and reflections of light alleviate the noise of the day.
The inner being of the world often appears clouded
and hidden, and people's minds are full of doubts
and irritation, but splendid nature cheers up their days,
and doubt's dark questions stay distant.

Friedrich Hölderlin (20 March 1770 – 17 June 1843)

Aussicht

Der offne Tag ist Menschen hell mit Bildern,
Wenn sich das Grün aus ebner Ferne zeiget,
Noch eh des Abends Licht zur Dämmerung sich neiget,
Und Schimmer sanft den Klang des Tages mildern.
Oft scheint die Innerheit der Welt umwölkt, verschlossen,
Des Menschen Sinn von Zweifeln voll, verdrossen,
Die prächtige Natur erheitert seine Tage
Und ferne steht des Zweifels dunkle Frage.

24. März 1671

Friday is Skyday

Cuando sale la luna
se pierden las campanas
y aparecen las sendas
impenetrables.*

From Federico García Lorca's Canciones de luna

Bacalao

Sometimes, when too lazy to cook
it's nice to let someone else do the job.

Instead of writing
