Georges Perros : “Être seul, et l’accepter…”

“C’est une erreur – plaisante à entretenir – de croire qu’on peut faire beaucoup de peine, engager la durée dans le chagrin, comme de croire qu’on peut faire beaucoup de plaisir à autrui. Il y a les sots, qui se suicident pour un bonjour négligé. Les indifférents, qui s’en moquent. Il y a surtout ce qui se passe, et ne peut se passer que dans la solitude, qui n’est rien d’autre que la crête suprême de la Pyramide homme ; dont nous sommes le dernier signe concret. Être seul, et l’accepter ; c’est assumer une harmonie indispensable et près de se rompre perpétuellement par un retrait, une défaillance durable.”

Deception digs

where sprouts the singular.

Thought fallen into the heart

in vacant spirit penetrates you

where you think.

Shimon Bar Yoahi could be in no other place

than this dark cave

knocking, unheeded at closed gates

for the sake of transparence.

Lo yikaret is a promise made to broken men

And it is true we must cut-off the path to miss

clarity in the sense of silence.

Today, you can enter any building

you can look from any window

and yet much can’t be explained.

What is Petre Tutea for in destitute time?

What lies beneath the surface?

Beneath tv screens?

Self-fulfilling prophecy

is the gate through which

we all must at some time pass.

The Library at Night by Robert Lepage

Ex Machina, Robert Lepage

img_1055-2

Today, I saw a fascinating exhibition  “The Library at Night” at the BanQ, directed by Robert Lepage. It is a 360° virtual exploration of 10 of the world’s most fascinating libraries. It was designed by the Ex Machina production company. Inspired by the essay of Alberto Manguel, the exhibition explores the philosophical architecture and social foundations on which all libraries rest.

Upton entering the exhibition, we step into a recreation of Manguel’s own library. Then we move to an immersive fores landscape that provides a sharp contrast to the rigorous order usually associated with temples of knowlege. Visitors then don headstes using 360° video immersion technology that take us from Sarajevo’s National Library to Mexico City’s Megabibliotheca, the stunning digital age Biblioteca Vasconcelos and from legendray city of Alexandira to the bottom of the sea aboard Captain’s Nemo Nautilus.

It was a wonderful Journey.

The first to remember Benjamin MiTudelo

Bayswater lighthouse, Benjamin of Tudela, New Brunswick Bayswater lighthouse

img_0575

The storm is over. Must be something in the air

A metaphor to keep me silent

Those small snowflakes that are hanging down

Swell likely to drop the iron

Down the river, in our hiding-place

We still not ready for archeology

What I became move us away

From prophesies and from sounds of History

Away from iron windows and flags

The first to remember Benjamin MiTudelo in Sicily

Will still hear the bloody distant milk away.
