    L'Homme et la mer
    Homme libre, toujours tu chériras la mer!
    La mer est ton miroir; tu contemples ton âme
    Dans le déroulement infini de sa lame,
    Et ton esprit n'est pas un gouffre moins amer.
    Tu te plais à plonger au sein de ton image;
    Tu l'embrasses des yeux et des bras, et ton coeur
    Se distrait quelquefois de sa propre rumeur
    Au bruit de cette plainte indomptable et sauvage.
    Vous êtes tous les deux ténébreux et discrets:
    Homme, nul n'a sondé le fond de tes abîmes;
    Ô mer, nul ne connaît tes richesses intimes,
    Tant vous êtes jaloux de garder vos secrets!
    Et cependant voilà des siècles innombrables
    Que vous vous combattez sans pitié ni remords,
    Tellement vous aimez le carnage et la mort,
    Ô lutteurs éternels, ô frères implacables!
    — Charles Baudelaire
    Man and the Sea
    Free man, you shall forever cherish the vast sea,
    The sea, that image where you contemplate your soul
    As everlastingly its mighty waves unroll.
    Your mind a yawning gulf seasoned as bitterly.
    You love to plunge into your image to the core,
    Embracing it with eyes and arms; your very heart
    Sometimes finds a distraction from its urgent smart
    In the wild sea's untamable and plaintive roar.
    Both of you live in darkness and in mystery:
    Man, who has ever plumbed the far depths of your being?
    O Sea, who knows your private hidden riches, seeing
    How strange the secrets you preserve so jealously?
    And yet for countless ages you have fought each other
    With hands unsparing and with unforbearing breath,
    Each an eternal foe to his relentless brother,
    So avid are you both of slaughter and of death.
    — Jacques LeClercq, Flowers of Evil (Mt Vernon, NY: Peter Pauper Press, 1958)

  • HomeHeartLove - dedicated to Leonard Cohen
    On Nov 7, 2016 Leonard Cohen passed away.
    I'm not a friend of too many words ...
    let the the music speak to you, friend!
    Home, heart & love that's all we need ...
    home, heart & love is what we are missing most these days ...
    Leonard gave his heart & love to his audience!
    May his soul find the eternal home in our hearts!
    Another simple, circular tune by Seelensack.
