L’inconnu qui marche

Juste un homme qui passe…

Vers le brouillard, d’un pas léger,

Ici , il se sait étranger,

Tel Meursault, sa vie le dépasse…

Marche-t-il pour se soustraire ?

De cette vie qui n’a compris,

Ou bien qui n’a que trop compris,

De vos pensées arbitraires.

Il marche peut-être pour rien,

Ce rien qui inspire un sens,

D’être depuis la naissance,

Debout comme moult terrien.

Il marche peut-être calme,

Il connaît sûrement la fin,

La mort, les ultimes confins,

Ce pont Helheim, il l’entame.

De nous projeter, arrêtons !

Nous ne la connaissons point,

Dans peu, il sera déjà loin,

Dans cette brume de coton.

3801 (pronounced Thirty-eight o-one) is a 4-6-2 steam locomotive operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1974. It is arguably Australia's most famous steam locomotive, being the only one to have visited all mainland states and territories. Not my best shot of this engine, but she was really smoking. Below is a shot taken a few seconds later as she flew past me.

Belle journée à tous

3801 is a two-cylinder simple, non-condensing, superheated, ‘Pacific’ 4-6-2 express passenger steam locomotive. Operated by the New South Wales Government Railways between 1943 and 1976, it is arguably Australia's most famous steam locomotive. I took this shot at the 150th anniversary celebration of railways in New South Wales in 2005.

Here is a link to a video of these locos in action at the 150th Anniversary celebrations: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1CAAsFBP2s

Dartmouth visit, 25 September 2021. A view across the Dart Estuary to Kingswear. The Lower Vehicle Ferry is just leaving the slipway to cross to Dartmouth, but there is no ferry at the passenger pontoon. On the right had side houses clamber up the steep hillside, whilst most of the back drop is open fields. In the centre is a boatyard, plus the Kingswear station of the Paignton & Dartmouth Steam Railway, although the only train present is a diesel hauled excursion waiting a return to the West Midlands.

Nun è 'o sole

nun so' manco cchiù 'e pparole

ca me fanno sta' astrignuto a te

nun è 'o cielo

ca se vasa mmocca 'o mare

ca me fanno sempe penza' a te

dice ca se chiamma ammore

me saje dicere pecchè

pogne dinte addò nisciuno po' sape'

si' bugiarda e senza onore ma si sto luntano 'a te

aspetto sulamente 'e te vede'

siente , dinte te tengo, vulesse sulo fa' pace cu' tte

siente, chello ca i' sento, e viene n'ata vota 'mbraccio a mme

i' sto ffore

'e vvote quasi me ne moro

'a ggente passa, guarda e se nne va

forze è overo

ca songo 'e n'ata manera

e ca nun ce 'a faccio cchiù a suppurta'

ma cu 'a scusa d''o core

nun te pozzo perduna'

'o mmale ca tutte 'e juorne me faje

nun è ogge nun è dimane

cagnarraggio cagnarraje

e pe' sempe 'nzieme a mme tu turnarraje

siente , dinte te tengo, vulesse sulo fa' pace cu' tte

siente, chello ca i' sento, e viene n'ata vota 'mbraccio a mme
