- All The World's A Stage
Весь мир – театр.
В нём женщины, мужчины – все актёры.
У них свои есть выходы, уходы,
И каждый не одну играет роль.
Семь действий в пьесе той. Сперва младенец,
Ревущий громко на руках у мамки...
Потом плаксивый школьник с книжной сумкой,
С лицом румяным, нехотя, улиткой
- Can't Keep It Inside
Well, I've never been a man of many words,
and there's nothing I could say that you haven't heard.
But I'll sing you love songs till the day I die.
The way I'm feeling,
I can't keep it inside.
I'll sing a sweet serenade whenever you're feeling sad,
and a lullaby each night before you go to bed.
- Just The Way You Are
Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
- Kubla Khan
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
- Little Red Hen
(всё на слух, уж простите мой инглиш pre-intermediate ;)
- Will you help me plant the wheat? - asked the Little Red Hen.
- No, - said the Rat, the Cat and the Dog.
- Then I will plant it all by myself, - said Little Red Hen.
And she did.
- Will you help me cut the wheat? - asked Little Red Hen.
- Lyke-Wake Dirge
If ever thou gavest hosen and shoon,
Every nighte and alle,
Sit thou down and put them on;
And Christe receive thy saule.
This ae nighte, this ae nighte,
Every nighte and alle,
Fire and fleet and candle-lighte,
- Not The End
LYRICS:
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
The sun will still shine tomorrow
So it's time for moving on
There's not a second for sorrow
- Ode to a Nightingale
Ode to a Nightingale
MY heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk:
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,
But being too happy in thine happiness,
- Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats
От боли сердце замереть готово,
И разум - на пороге забытья,
Как будто пью настой болиголова,
Как будто в Лету погружаюсь я;
Нет, я не завистью к тебе томим,
Но переполнен счастьем твой напев, -
И внемлю, легкокрылая Дриада,
Мелодиям твоим,
- Reads R. Kelly's 'Genius'
Body so fit and soft
I can’t wait to turn it on
You got me like la la la la la baby
It’s how you make me feel baby
- Sol LeWitt to Eva Hesse
Dear Eva,
It will be almost a month since you wrote to me and you have possibly forgotten your state of mind (I doubt it though). You seem the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. Don’t! Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world once in a while. You have every right to. Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping, confusing, itchin, scratching, mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, numbling, rumbling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking, ass-gouging, eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing, back-scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself. Stop it and just DO!
From your description, and from what I know of your previous work and you [sic] ability; the work you are doing sounds very good “Drawing-clean-clear but crazy like machines, larger and bolder… real nonsense.” That sounds fine, wonderful – real nonsense. Do more. More nonsensical, more crazy, more machines, more breasts, penises, cunts, whatever – make them abound with nonsense. Try and tickle something inside you, your “weird humor.” You belong in the most secret part of you. Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool. Make your own, your own world. If you fear, make it work for you – draw & paint your fear and anxiety. And stop worrying about big, deep things such as “to decide on a purpose and way of life, a consistant [sic] approach to even some impossible end or even an imagined end” You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty. Then you will be able to DO!
I have much confidence in you and even though you are tormenting yourself, the work you do is very good. Try to do some BAD work – the worst you can think of and see what happens but mainly relax and let everything go to hell – you are not responsible for the world – you are only responsible for your work – so DO IT. And don’t think that your work has to conform to any preconceived form, idea or flavor. It can be anything you want it to be. But if life would be easier for you if you stopped working – then stop. Don’t punish yourself. However, I think that it is so deeply engrained in you that it would be easier to DO!
- Somewhere Only We Know
Blaine:
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
- The Seven Ages of Man
Jacques: All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking* in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
- You're amazing
