Esos dos niños...

"Heavy hangs the rain-drop
From the burdened spray;
Heavy broods the damp mist
On uplands far away.

Heavy looms the dull sky,
Heavy rolls the sea;
And heavy throbs the young heart
Beneath that lonely tree.

Never has a blue streak
Cleft the clouds since morn;
Never has his grim fate
Smiled since he was born.

Frowning on the infant,
Shadowing childhood’s joy
Guardian-angel knows not
That melancholy boy..."

-Emily Brontë "The two children"

Today in Mexico is Mother's Day, so Happy day to all mothers in the world!

Hoy en México es Día de las madres, entonces ¡Feliz día a todas las madres del mundo!
Mi respeto, apoyo y admiración a todas esas madres que han perdido a sus hijos y luchan por encontrarlos y que se haga justicia, a todas esas madres mexicanas que no se rinden, a las madres de Juárez, a las madres de la guarderia ABC, a todas esas que han sido víctimas de los daños colaterales de una estúpida guerra aquí en México...al igual que a todas aquellas que luchan en el mundo, gracias por seguirnos enseñado a luchar y que con su ejemplo nos motivan....

"Madre, cuando sea grande,
¡ay..., qué mozo el que tendrás!
Te levantaré en mis brazos,
como el zonda al herbazal.

O te acostaré en las parvas
o te cargaré hasta el mar
o te subiré las cuestas
o tedejaré al umbral.<... more »

"Un nuevo Primero de Mayo nos encuentra reunidos a los que luchamos por hacer de nuestra hermosa tierra argentina una Nación socialmente justa, económicamente libre y políticamente soberana...
...Se ha dicho que sin libertad no puede haber justicia social, y yo respondo que sin justicia social no puede haber libertad. Ustedes, compañeros, ha vivido la larga etapa de la tan mentada libertad de la oligarquía; y yo les pregunto, compañeros: si había antes libertad o la hay ahora. A los que afirman que hay libertad en los pueblos donde el trabajador está explotado, yo les contesto con las palabras de nuestros trabajadores: una hermosa libertad, la de morirse de hambre...

"Éste no es un día de fiesta; éste es un día de recuerdo, de rememoración. Un día para mirar hacia atrás, más allá y dentro de la frontera de la patria y rendir un homenaje a todos aquellos que, en distintas latitudes, cayeron luchando por hacer más digna la vida del hombre y conquistar la auténtica libertad...
...Un pueblo disciplinado, organizado, consciente, es, junto a la limpia lealtad de las Fuerzas Armadas y de Carabineros, la mejor defensa del Gobierno Popular y del futuro de la patria...
...Por eso tenemos que tener conciencia: la revolución no se hace en las palabras, compañeros, se hace en los hechos. Y hacer la revolución no es tan fácil, si no ya la habrían realizado otros pueblos, en otras latitudes o en este continente...

Day 75/365
Triángulo
“Listen without to the westerly wind
Does it whisper and gently sigh?
Or rage and roar, shaking the door
Demanding that seafarers die...

On such a night in the distant past
As surf raced hight up the beach
Mexico barque on a bank was fast
No port that night would she reach

Three lifeboats to her aid were sent
By fisherman manned with good intent
One boat returned her crew to save
The others would drown in a watery grave

Father and son, brothers too
Perished that night in the lifeboats' crew
Seven and twenty died they in vain?
Question it not, they would do it again.”

-Corncrake Williams “The Mexico Barque”

Day 74/365
A la mar.
“I must down to the seas again,
to the lonely sea and the sky
and all I ask is a tall ship,
and a star to steer her by;
 
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song
and the white sails shaking,
And the grey mist in the sea’s face,
and a grey dawn breaking.
 
I must go down to the seas again,
for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call
that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day
with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume,
and the seagulls crying. 
 
I must go down to the seas again,
to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale's way
where the wind’s like a whetted knife
 
And all I ask is a merry yarn
From a laughing fellow rover,
and quiet sleep and asweet dream

Day 73/365
Alcatraz.
“…Hallaré una inquietante soledad
De bajo de las piedras
Algún sol ardiendo bajo las
Hojas de otoño
Mi alcatraz no es una flor
Es el nombre de ella
¿Alguna vez le diste algo a una mujer que le durara
Toda la vida?
Yo le dí un nombre.
Alcatraz
Ella olvidó bajar el telón de su despedida
Ella no pudo sacar sus
Astillas de mis dedos.
Y tengo su sonrisa
Como una espada en mi cabeza…”
- Carlos Ramirez Arellano “Alcatraz”

Day 72/365
Brillo intenso.
“Two pieces of metal made one. 
Doing this job can be fun. 
Spending the day outside in the sun. 
Able to look down and see everyone. 
A wonder it can even be done. 

Electricity, jumping threw air. 
Heat, difficult to bare. 
Try, If you dare. 
But, Take great care. 
About, what you wear. 

Sparks.... Like a meteor shower. 
Beauty.... Like a perfect flower. 
Watching ... for hour upon hour. 
Hypnotized ... by the raw power. 
Awestruck..... How high the buildings tower.”

"He wants to be
a brutal old man,
an aggressive old man,
as dull, as brutal
as the emptiness around him,

He doesn’t want compromise, 
nor to be ever nice
to anyone. Just mean,
and final in his brutal,
his total, rejection of it all.

He tried the sweet, 
the gentle, the “oh,
let’s hold hands together”
and it was awful,
dull, brutally inconsequential.

Now he’ll stand on
his own dwindling legs. 
His arms, his skin, 
shrink daily. And
he loves, but hates equally."
-Robert Creeley "Self-Portrait"

A pampered cat.
"Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair
Top of piano, window-ledge,
In the middle, on the edge,
Open drawer, empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard, with your frocks-
Anywhere! They don't care!
Cats sleep anywhere."

Day 71/365
Un otro edificio.
"Todos vamos a construir el edificio.
Aquel que el hombre quiere.
Será nuestro edificio.
 
Lo construiremos en el valle sin lágrimas,
o en la planicie sin gritos,
o junto al bosque del canto;
pero mejor si al lado del río,
porque será grato ver el agua libre
desde nuestro edificio..."
-José Pedroni. "El edificio"

Another building.
"Everyone is going to build the building.
That man wants.
Will our building.
 
We build in the valley without tears,
or plain without shouting,
or near the forest edge;
but better if beside the river,
because it will be great to see the free water
from our building ... "

Las gotas
"Oh gota musical que se separa 
de la inmortalidad y oye mi oído 
caer continuamente en el olvido 
de mi honda penumbra, oh gota clara!

Una estrofilla de infantil dulzura, 
sólo en la fuente alguna vez oída, 
me ejecuta en el alma la caída 
inmaterial de aquella gota pura..."

Una tarde de invierno (cerca de la primavera)
"...C'est par un soir d'hiver,
Dans un monde très dur,
Que tu vis ce printemps,
Près de moi, l'innocente.

Il n'y a pas de nuit pour nous.
Rien de ce qui périt, n'a de prise sur moi
Mais je ne veux pas avoir froid.

Notre printemps
est un printemps qui a raison."
-Paul Eluard. "Printemps"

"...Fue una tarde de invierno
en un mundo muy duro
Que vi esa primavera
cerca de tu inocencia

No hay noche para nosotros
Nada de lo que muere influye sobre ti
Y tú no quieres tener frío

Es una primavera que tiene razón."

Semana 10
Una hoja...
"Cada hoja es un recuerdo 
tan triste como tierno 
de que hubo sobre ese árbol 
un cielo y un amor; 
reunidas forman todas 
el canto del invierno, 
la estrofa de las nieves 
y el himno del dolor..."
-Manuel Acuña. "Hojas secas"

A leaf ...
"Each leaf is a recollection
so sad as tender
of which there was on this tree
a heaven and love;
assembled they all form
the winter singing,
the strophe of the snow
and the anthem of pain ... "
-Manuel Acuña. "Dry Leaves"

‎"A simple rose I have found
It's not the flower that grows from the ground,
Its beauty is one of such delight ...
This rose is soft to the touch in all its perfection.

The envy for all the flowers in this garden
Its fragrance will consume your every obsession.
This rose must be a gift, a gift from above
A gift from Heaven to show us love.

Every morning I wake to see its petals glisten
Its easy to see how one could be so smitten
If love was a rose it would shine so bright
Because all I need is this rose in my life."
- Kevan Mends "A simple rose"

sin nada de color que la a vive, coqueta!.."
-Marilina Rebora. "Quiero pintar la luna"

Painting.
"Mother, I can paint the moon of scarlet?
Or with pink dress, edged with purple?
Well, night after night, go out bland and timid,
without anything of color that her to lives, flirt! .. "
-Marilina Rebora. "I want to paint the moon"

Day 59/365
En mi dedo.
"...Soy más pequeño que un insecto.
 
Voy por estas colinas,
son de color de avena,
tienen delgadas huellas
que sólo yo conozco,
centímetros quemados,
pálidas perspectivas..."
-Pablo Neruda. "El insecto"

In my finger.
"... I'm smaller than an insect.
 
I go through these hills,
are colored oat
have thin traces
that only I know,
centimeters burned,
pale perspectives ... "
-Pablo Neruda. "The Bug"

Day 58/365
De rosa y azul
"Yo la encontré por mi destino, 
de pie a mitad de la pradera, 
gobernadora del que pase, 
del que le hable y que la vea..." 
-Gabriela Mistral. "La flor del aire"

Pink and blue
"I found her for my destination,
Standing in the middle of the prairie,
Governor of passing,
of the one that speaks to her and that sees her..."
-Gabriela Mistral. "The flower of the air"

"Tu júbilo, en el vuelo;
tu inquietud, en el aire;
tu vida, al sol, al aire, al vuelo.

Qué pequeña tu muerte
bajo la luz de fuego vivo.
Qué serena la gracia de tus alas
ya para siempre abiertas en el libro.

Y en ti, tan suave, en tu morir callado,
en tu sueño sin sueños,
cuánta ilusión perdida al aire,
cuánto desesperado pensamiento."
-Eugenio Florit. "A la mariposa muerta"

Hasta siempre comandante

Semana 9
Abeja y flor II.
"...Lo que saca del cáliz de las flores
lo conduce a su celda reducida,
y sigue sin descanso sus labores,
sin saber, ¡ay! que en su vaivén incierto
lleva la miel para la amarga vida
y el blanco cirio para el pobre muerto!"
-Enrique Alvarez Henao. "La abeja"

Bee and flower II
"... What takes the chalice of the flowers
he leads his small cell,
and continues its work tirelessly,
not knowing, oh! in its reciprocating uncertain
Honey brings life to the bitter
and white candle for the poor dead! "
-Enrique Alvarez Henao. "The Bee"

Una mariposa.
"...Llamó a mi ventana
con un persistente movimiento de alas
tan frágil y franca queriendo pasar
la luz en mi cuarto cruzando la nada.
seguro la había mandado llamar..."
-Fernando Delgadillo "A una mariposa"

A butterfly
"...He knocked on my window
with persistent movement of wings
so fragile and frank wanting to spend 
the light in my room across the nothing
sure, had sent for her... "
-Fernando Delgadillo "To a Butterfly"

Day 57/376
Formas.
"Yo persigo una forma que no encuentra mi estilo, 
botón de pensamiento que busca ser la rosa; 
se anuncia con un beso que en mis labios se posa 
el abrazo imposible de la Venus de Milo. 
-Rubén Darío. "Yo persigo una forma..." 

Shapes.
"I’m in pursuit of a form that my style cannot find
Button of thoughts seeking to be the rose,
Announcing itself as a kiss that on my lips comes to be
Like the impossible embrace of Milo’s Venus"
Rubén Darío. "I’m in pursuit of a form" (Translated by Danilo López)

HQSP Nature Photographer Circle 

I'd like to welcome you to our 7th version of the Nature Photographer Circle,
bought to you by the High Quality Sharing Project

All the artists in this circle have been checked individually, and have done my up-most to maintain quality.

If you're in the circle, or think your friends may enjoy it, feel free to show the artists some love by plussing or sharing the circle.  

#naturephotographercircle  

P.S. This will be my last entry as part of the HQSP. I'm hoping to finish up a personal project which I've been working on. Full of activities and exclusive to photog's on Google+.
