Autor: #AlbertCamus ✒️📖✒️
«El absurdo nace cuando el ser humano busca sentido en un universo indiferente. Pero de ese absurdo surgen tres fuerzas: la rebeldía, la libertad y la pasión. Aceptar que la vida carece de sentido inherente no es resignación, es un llamado a vivir plenamente, a crear significado en cada acto, porque incluso en el silencio del mundo, la existencia merece ser abrazada.»

En una casa vieja azotada por la lluvia, Michel busca a su padre desaparecido. Al volver, encuentra un cuerpo extraño en su sillón y una maleta marrón abandonada con una nota.

Did you know there are Dr Seuss versions of some HP Lovecraft books?

I did not.

The options for watching this online are Amazon or Google, neither of which is a good option. If anybody knows a better source let me know in the comments.

I wish more people would move to Peertube...but I guess monetization is more important than getting their work out here.

Poetry of Love Faith and Relationships

Throughout literary history, poetry has explored themes of love, faith, relationships, hope, healing, and personal reflection. These themes remain relevant because they reflect universal aspects of human experience.

A discussion exploring these connections through poetry can be found here: https://www.jenniferfahie.com/poetry-of-love-faith-and-relationships/

The Authorship of the “Canadian Boat — Song”: A Bibliographical Note by Linda Dowler From its first, anonymous appearance in Blackwood’s Magazine for September, 1829, the “Canadian Boat Song” has tantalized its admirers, for the question of its authorship has remained an unsolved puzzle. The literature which has been generated by the problem of attribution is consid erable; the following, while not attempting an exhaustive bibliographical listing, will trace the major turns of the argument as it has appeared in print. There are, in all, eight names in the list of those for whom the laurel of authorship has been claimed. They will be reviewed here in the order in which they were entered.

NIGHTINGALE. A soldier who, as the term is, sings out at the halberts. It is a point of honour in some regiments, among the grenadiers, never to cry out, become nightingales, whilst under the discipline of the cat of nine tails; to avoid which, they chew a bullet.

“A gripping, beautifully written, well-paced but introspective novel, it is perhaps Buchan’s finest achievement. He based the landscapes and the journey closely on some of his own travels in the northwest as Governor-General of Canada, and the book reflects clearly the immensity and variety not only of Canada’s landscapes but its peoples”

Gur duilich leam mar tha mi
’S mo chridhe ’n sàs aig bròn
Bhon an uair a dh’fhàg mi
Beanntan ard a’ cheò
Gleanntannan a’ mhànrain
Nan loch, nam bàgh ‘s nan sròm
’S an eala bhàn tha tàmh orra
Gach là air ’m bheil mi ’n tòir…

—Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna, “An Eala Ban”

The First Battle of the Somme began #OTD, 1 July, 1916. Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna / Donald MacDonald composed “An Eala Bhan” (“The White Swan”) during the battle.

An Eala Ban Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna Gur duilich leam mar tha mi ’S mo chridhe ’n sàs aig bròn Bhon an uair a dh’fhàg mi Beanntan ard a’ cheò Gleanntannan a’ mhànrain Nan loch, nam bàgh ’s nan sròm ’S an eala bhàn tha tàmh orra Gach là air ’m bheil mi ’n tòir. A Mhagaidh na bi tùrsach A rùin, ged gheibhinn bàs – Cò am fear am measg an t-sluaigh A mhaireas buan gu bràth? Chan eil sinn uile ach air chuairt Mar dhìthein buaile fàs Bheir siantannan na bliadhna sìos ’S nach tog a’ ghrian an àird. Tha ’n talamh lèir mun cuairt dhìom ’Na mheallan suas ’s na neòil; Aig na ’shells a’ bualadh – Cha lèir dhomh bhuam le ceò: Gun chlaisneachd aig mo chluasan Le fuaim a’ ghunna mhòir; Ach ged tha ’n uair seo cruaidh orm Tha mo smuaintean air NicLeòid. Mas e ’s gu bheil e ’n dàn dhomh on bhlàr gun till mi beò Is gu faic mi ’n t-àite san deach ar n-àrach òg Bidh sinne ’s crathadh làmh againn is bilean blàth toirt phòg ’S mo ghealltanas bidh pàighte dhut le fainne chur mud mheòir. Oidhche mhath leat fhèin, a rùin Nad leabaidh chùbhraidh bhlàth; Cadal sàmhach air a chùl ’s do dhùsgadh sunndach slàn Tha mise ’n seo san truinnsidh fhuair ’s nam chluasan fuaim a’ bhàis Gun dùil ri faighinn às le buaidh – Tha ’n cuan cho buan ri shnàmh.

The White Swan Donald MacDonald Sad I consider my condition With my heart engaged with sorrow From the very time that I left The high bens of the mist The little glens of dalliance Of the lochs, the bays and the forelands And the white swan dwelling there Whom I daily pursue. Maggie, don’t be sad Love, if I should die – Who among men Endures eternally? We are all only on a journey Like flowers in the deserted cattle fold That the year’s elements will bring down And that the sun cannot raise. All the ground around me Is like hail in the heavens; With the shells exploding – I am blinded by smoke: My ears are deafened By the roar of the cannon; But though this time is hard on me, My thoughts are on the girl MacLeod. If it is fated to me That from the battle I should return safe, And see the place Where we were nurtured young We’ll shake hands And warm lips shall kiss And my promise be fulfilled to you With a ring put round your finger. Goodnight to you, love In your warm, sweet-smelling bed; May you have peaceful sleep and May you waken healthy and in good spirits I am here in the cold trench With the clamour of death in my ears With no hope of returning victorious – The ocean is too wide to swim.

“An Eala Bhan” (“The White Swan”) has been performed by a huge number of Gaelic artists from Julie Fowlis to Capercallie & Linda Macleod who grew up in the same part of North Uist as Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna. She speaks here to Cathy McDonald about the significance of the song and the man behind it

From the lone shieling of the misty island
Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas—
Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland,
And we in dreams behold the Hebrides…

Canadian Boat-Song—(from the Gaelic.) Listen to me, as when ye heard our father ‍‍‍‍‍‍Sing long ago, the song of other shores— Listen to me, and then in chorus gather ‍‍‍‍‍‍All your deep voices, as ye pull your oars: CHORUS ‍‍‍‍‍‍Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand; ‍‍‍‍‍‍But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. From the lone shieling of the misty island ‍‍‍‍‍‍Mountains divide us, and the waste of seas— Yet still the blood is strong, the heart is Highland, ‍‍‍‍‍‍And we in dreams behold the Hebrides: ‍‍‍‍‍‍Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand; ‍‍‍‍‍‍But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. We ne’er shall tread the fancy-haunted valley, ‍‍‍‍‍‍Where ’tween the dark hills creeps the small clear stream, In arms around the patriarch banner rally, ‍‍‍‍‍‍Nor see the moon on royal tombstones gleam: ‍‍‍‍‍‍Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand; ‍‍‍‍‍‍But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. When the bold kindred, in the time long-vanish’d, ‍‍‍‍‍‍Conquer’d the soil and fortified the keep— No seer foretold the children would be banish’d, ‍‍‍‍‍‍That a degenerate Lord might boast his sheep: ‍‍‍‍‍‍Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand; ‍‍‍‍‍‍But we are exiles from our fathers’ land. Come foreign rage—let Discord burst in slaughter! ‍‍‍‍‍‍O then for clansman true, and stern claymore— The hearts that would have given their blood like water, ‍‍‍‍‍‍Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar: ‍‍‍‍‍‍Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand; ‍‍‍‍‍‍But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.
