The bats are in the belfry
the dew is on the moor
where are the arms that held me
and pledged her love before
and pledged her love before

Chorus

It's such a sad old feeling
the fields are soft and green
it's memories that I'm stelaing
but you're innocent when you dream
when you dream
you're innocent when you dream

running through the graveyard
we laughed my friends and I
we swore we'd be together
until the day we died
until the day we died

Repeat Chorus

I made a golden promise
that we would never part
I gave my love a locket
and then I broke her heart
and then I broke her heart

Repeat Choru

José Saramago (16 november 1922- 18 june 2010)

José Saramago, Nobel Prize in Literature, 1998 has died. He was wrote one of the books that impressed me most, called Ensaio sobre a Cegueira/ Ensayo sobre la Cegera/ Blindness (1995). I read this book in Portuguese when I was in high school. I began to read it slowly to understand the language and the meanings of the text. Once I could read more quickly, I still remained reading it slowly to prolong the pleasure.Years after, in 1998, I could attend a conference he gave in the XVI Semana Gallega de Filosofía. I remember very well his soft and strong voice, the nice and comfortable atmosphere that he created in that crowed theater, where people of all the ages shared the most small space,on the floor, sharing seats...All we seemed hungry, hungry to listen and to "see" by his words and the meanings we could obtain from them.

Plot of the novel in wikipedia

parragraphs of Ensaio sobre a cegueira in Portuguesse.

“Provavelmente, só num mundo de cegos as coisas serão o que verdadeiramente são”
“O medo cega, disse arapariga dos óculos escuros, São palavras certas, já éramos cegos no momento em que cegámos, o medo nos cegou, o medo nos fará
continuar cegos, Quem está a falar, perguntou o médico, Um
cego, respondeu a voz, sou um cego, é o que temos aqui. Então
perguntou o velho da venda preta, Quantos cegos serão precisos para
fazer uma cegueira. Ninguém lhe soube responder.”


“ (…) o mundo está cheio de cegos vivos, Eu acho que vamos morrer todos, é
uma questão de tempo, Morrer sempre foi uma questão de tempo, disse o médico,
Mas morrer só porque se está cego, não deve haver pior maneira de morrer,
Morremos de doenças, de acidentes, de acasos, E agora morreremos também porque
estamos cegos, quero dizer, morreremos de cegueira e de cancro, de cegueira e de
tuberculose, de cegueira e de sida, de cegueira e de enfarte, as doenças poderão
ser diferentes de pessoa para pessoa, mas o que verdadeiramente agora nos está a
matar é a cegueira, Não somos imortais, não podemos escapar à morte, mas ao
menos devíamos não ser cegos, disse a mulher do médico, Como, se esta cegueira é
concreta e real, disse o médico, Não tenho a certeza, disse a mulher”


“Por que foi que cegámos, Não sei, talvez um dia se chegue a conhecer a
razão, Queres que te diga o que penso, Diz, Penso que não cegámos, penso
que estamos cegos, Cegos que vêem, Cegos que, vendo, não vêem.”

Realign all, The stars Above my head,Warning signs, Travel far, I drink instead
On my own, Oh,how I've known, The battle scars, And worn out beds, Gentle now
A tender breeze, Blows, Whispers through, A Gran Torino, Whistling another Tired song

Engines humm, And bitter dreams,Grow, Heart locked, In a Gran Torino, It beats , A lonely rhythm , All night long, These streets, Are old , They shine, With the things
I've known, And breaks, Through, The trees, Their sparkling, Your world Is nothing more Than all The tiny things You've left Behind. So tenderly Your story is
Nothing more Than what you see Or What you've done Or will become. Standing strong
Do you belong In your skin, Just wondering. Gentle now, A tender breeze Blows
Whispers through The Gran Torino, Whistling another Tired song. Engines humm
And bitter dreams Grow.A heart locked In a Gran Torino. It beats A lonely rhythm
All night long, May I be So bold and stay I need someone To hold That shudders
My skin Their sparkling. Your world Is nothing more Than all The tiny things
You've left Behind.So realign All the stars Above my head, Warning signs, Travel far
I drink instead On my own Oh How i've known. The battle scars And worn out beds

Gentle now, A tender breeze BlowsWhispers through The Gran Torino. Whistling another
Tired song, Engines humm And better dreams Grow. Heart locked In a Gran Torino
It beats A lonely rhythm, All night long. It beats A lonely rhythm All night long
It beats A lonely rhythm All night long

Mcluhan & Woody Allen. Contraexplosión (Counterblast)

Cuando apareció Mcluhan para corregir al tipo que hablaba de sus ideas sin haberlas entendido. Una escena brillante de Annie Hall



Por cierto que aquí tenemos una joya. "Contraexplosión" (Counterblast) en castellano para descargar. Fue publicado en 1969 en Nueva York por Harcourt, Brace & World, inc. Esta versión en castellano es de Isidoro Gelstein y el diseño es de Harley Parker, colaborador habitual de Mcluhan.

Pongo aquí un pequeño párrafo que he sacado del libro:

"Como sistema de escritura, la máquina es mucho más eficiente que la mano. Los dedos traducen automática y simultáneamente lo que se está pensando. Cuando uno escribe a mano, lo hace lenta y cuidadosamente, y por lo general en un estilo menos familiar"
