Punto che del futuro

Dante

« vediamo come colui che ha mala luce le cose lontane »

«Noi veggiam, come quei c’ha mala luce,

le cose», disse, «che ne son lontano;

cotanto ancor ne splende il sommo duce.

Quando s’appressano o son, tutto è vano

nostro intelletto; e s’altri non ci apporta,

nulla sapem di vostro stato umano.

Però comprender puoi che tutta morta

fia nostra conoscenza da quel punto

che del futuro fia chiusa la porta».

«For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie smoothly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can’t be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance.» Kafka

Chronos, Yannis Ritsos

img_27235722603_f520

« De façon maladroite, avec une grosse aiguille, du gros fil, il coud les boutons du manteau. Il parle tout seul : As-tu mangé ton pain ? As-tu dormi tranquillement ? As-tu pu parler ? Tendre la main ?T’es-tu souvenu de regarder par la fenêtre ?As-tu souri lorsqu’on a frappé à la porte ? S’il y a toujours la mort, elle est seconde. La liberté toujours est la première ». Yannis Ritsos, Le funambule et la lune.

Conviviality at work

After work drinks, conviviality at work, Social club

One of the most alienating thing in the world of employment is when they start to consider that man also needs conviviality and start proposing moments of leisure, having a snack with colleagues and friendly coffee. Holy crap, instead of letting you free, they also organize freedom and leisure.

A diversion organized by your employer. I’m sick of it. God stop them.

Le hussard bleu, Roger Nimier

Y« Moi, je ne suis d’aucune époque. S’il y a la guerre, je servirai sous Maurice de Saxe. C’est une balle de Solférino, restée en l’air pendant un siècle, qui me tuera. »

Ingmar Bergman

“Mes cauchemars sont toujours noyés, inondés de soleil et je hais les régions méditerranéennes justement pour cette raison. […] Quand je vois un ciel infini sans nuage, je me dis, tiens c’est peut-être la fin de notre planète. ” Ingmar Bergman

From the sky the circle is closing. The trees survive hanging on the edge of a precipice. It’s too bad we’re forbidden to cut them.

Victoria Bridge

… « Ta volonté est libre signifie : elle était libre quand elle a voulu le désert, elle est libre, puisqu’elle peut choisir son chemin pour le traverser ; elle est libre puisqu’elle peut choisir sa démarche ; mais d’autre part elle n’est pas libre, puisque tu es obligé de traverser le désert, pas libre, puisque tout chemin est une espèce de labyrinthe qui touche au moindre pouce du désert  »

F. Kafka
