i was texting Rilke
)with the right of way
i might add(
but Demosthenes refused to yield
& at the moment of impact
i suffered an epiphany:
“a god can do it.
but tell me.
how can a man follow him
through the lyre’s strings?
his soul is split.
and at the intersection
of two heart-riven roads,
there is no temple to Apollo.
song, as you have taught,
is not mere longing,
the wooing of whatever lovely
can be attained;
singing is being.
easy for a god.
but when are we?
and when does he fill us
with earth and stars?”
yes,
last kisses,
hemingway’s big two-hearted river,
frost’s roads diverging in a yellow wood,
rilke’s heart-riven roads:
it’s all an accident waiting to happen.
from “Gesang ist Dasein”
by Rainer Maria Rilke

in the end
the jihadists
be they muslim, christian or jewish
or some lesser brand
will annihilate the world
and with it
all conscious thought;
once again
the world will fall asleep
beneath the ocean
with the buddhas,
beneath the ocean
about which Neruda spoke:
… una orilla,
es allí donde azota
el mar con furia
y las olas golpean
los muros de ceniza.
¿qué es esto?
¿es una sombra?
no es la sombra,
es la arena de la triste república,
es un sistema de algas,
hay alas,
hay un picotazo en el pecho del cielo:
oh manantial del mar,
si la lluvia asegura tus secretos,
si el viento interminable mata los pájaros,
si solamente el cielo,
sólo quiero morder tus costas y morirme,
sólo quiero mirar la boca de las piedras
por donde los secretos
salen llenos de espuma.
…
es una región sola
…
donde la tierra está llena de océano,
y no hay nadie
sino unas huellas de caballo,
no hay nadie
sino el viento
no hay nadie
sino la lluvia
que cae sobre las aguas del mar,
nadie sino la lluvia que crece
sobre el mar.
a place where with fury
the sea lashes the shore
and the waves strike
the ashen walls.
what is this?
is it a shadow?
it is not the shadow,
it is the ground rock
of a sad republic,
a system of seaweed,
there are wings,
there is the pecking
at the heart of the sky:
oh waters wounded by the waves,
oh fountain of the sea,
as if the rain assures your secrets,
as if the unrelenting wind kills the birds,
if only the sky …
i alone wish to bite your coasts and die,
i alone wish to gaze into the mouths of the stones,
through which emerge
the secrets full of foam
…
it is a lonely region
…
where the earth
is overwhelmed by the ocean
and there is no one
only hoof prints,
there is no one
but the wind,
there is no one
but the rain that falls over the waters of the sea,
no one but the rain
that swells above the sea.
"Tolling" has a more sonorous connotation to it than the pretty tinkling of the bells of Venlo as I pottered about on the bank of the Meuse, Limburg's Jordan. I was intrigued by great patches of pretty mauve Bellflowers. Recalling Robert Jordan in Ernest Hemingway's (1899-1961), For Whom the Bell Tolls, I thought of John Donne's famous meditation (1624), later made into a poem:
"No man is an iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."
The sentiments, too, of Robert Jordan, fighting and dying on the side of Spain's republicans.
And the island analogy is apt here as well. Tradition has it that Venlo was founded by one Valuas (Flujas) in 95 CE on an island - 'De Weerd' - in the Meuse opposite of what is now Blerick. Soon a community arose, and here we are...
While in Pamplona, I wanted to find the large bull ring I'd spotted earlier on arrival in the city.
This is the Plaza de Toros de Pamplona.
Plaza de Toros de Pamplona is a bullring in Pamplona, Spain. It is currently used for bull fighting, sporting or cultural events and music concerts.
Built in 1922 by Francisco Urcola, the stadium holds 19,720 people. It is the end point of the famous Running of the bulls during the festival of San Fermín.
During the first months of 1939, towards the end of Spanish Civil War, it housed a Francoist concentration camp with a capacity of 3,000 Republican prisoners.

Cojímar is a small fishing village east of Havana, forming a ward (consejo popular) part of the Habana del Este municipality.
It was an inspiration for Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.
Hemingway wrote the majority of his novels here in his studio in his mansion in Key West, Florida. He had dozens of cats, thus the statues in the background.

This house, one of the older buildings in Key West, was constructed circa 1850 by Asa F. Tift, a 19th century owner of one of the major wharf areas in Key West. The house is a two-story rectangular structure built of native limestone quarried from the site, which enabled it to be built with a full basement, a feature unique in that area. Ernest Hemingway bought this Spanish style house in Key West, Florida in 1931. He lived there with his second wife, Pauline until 1940 when they separated. During this important period of his career, he wrote many books, including 'Death in the Afternoon', 'Green Hills of Africa', 'Winner Take Nothing', and 'To Have and Have Not', which has a Key West setting. And, he probably also worked on 'For Whom the Bells Tolls', which appeared in 1940. While living here, Hemingway worked long hours, rising very early to write in the study above the pool house, but he also traveled extensively and cultivated the image of rugged Papa Hemingway. This property was owned by the Hemingway family until 1961, the house is now a museum, opened to the public. It was nominated and deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as significant to the history of literature in Key West, the state of Florida, and America. It was added to the register on November 24, 1968. More information about Hemingway's time here can be read on the original documents submitted for listing consideration found here:

Pamplona is a world to discover and I am your oracle
El toro de lidia, también denominado toro bravo, designa a los especímenes macho de toro seleccionados y criados para su empleo en los diferentes espectáculos taurinos, como las corridas o los encierros. Procede de las razas autóctonas de la península ibérica, conocidas como «tronco ibérico», que desde tiempo inmemorial propiciaron las formas más primitivas de tauromaquia. Algunos especialistas consideran que es el descendiente más directo del uro[cita requerida], el antepasado de todas las razas bovinas actuales, ya que, además de su rusticidad y su vida salvaje, comparte con él numerosas características fenotípicas. Otros expertos cuestionan que se trate de una raza de bovino diferente a la del toro y la vaca comunes (Bos taurus).1 Se caracteriza por unos instintos atávicos de defensa y temperamentales, que se sintetizan en la llamada "bravura", así como atributos físicos tales como unos cuernos grandes hacia delante y un potente aparato locomotor, superiores a los de otros especímenes de bovinos

You don't have to be religious to appreciate the sheer beauty of the historic church located at the corner of Duval and Eaton streets in Old Town Key West.
Founded in 1832, this is the oldest continuously operating church in the city and has played an important role in its development. During the Civil War, the building served as a hospital for Union troops and later was also used as a courthouse and a school. Famously destroyed several times by weather calamities, the temple had the first chime of bells in Florida inaugurated in 1891. The current, fourth building on the site was designed by architect William Kerr and completed in 1919.
It features the Gothic Revival style, quite popular at the turn of the 20th century, complete with its typical elements such as pointed arches, buttresses, and a steeply pitched roof. The main entrance is located on the south side of the church and is marked by a Gothic arched doorway with intricately carved stone surrounds. The church's bell tower, which rises above the entrance, is one of the most recognizable features of the building.
Inside, the church has a spacious nave with a high, vaulted ceiling and rows of wooden pews. The stained-glass windows, which were created by Tiffany Studios and others, are particularly noteworthy, depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ and other biblical figures. The church also features a large pipe organ, which was installed in the 1920s and has been restored several times over the years.
Several notable personalities have been associated with this church, including author Ernest Hemingway, who attended services here with his second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer. Today, Saint Paul's Episcopal Church continues to be an active congregation and hosts a number of outreach programs, including a food pantry and a homeless ministry. It is also a popular venue for concerts and other cultural events.
There is no charge to get in and view the stunning stained-glass windows and beautiful wooden beams on the ceiling or catch one of the marvelous impromptu concerts held during the season on alternate Sunday afternoons. A pamphlet inside relays more about the windows as well as the church's long history.

Cayo Guillermo is a kay of the Jardines del Rey archipelago. It is located on the northern coast of Cuba, between the Bay of Dogs (Bahia de Perros) and the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Ciego de Ávila Province, and lies in the Morón municipality.
The island is a popular tourist destination, with four all-inclusive resorts located on the north side of the island: Allegro Club Cayo Guillermo (of the Occidental group; formerly the Gran Caribe Villa Cojimar), Iberostar Daiquiri, Melia Cayo Guillermo and the Sol Cayo Guillermo (the last two hotels are owned by the Sol Melia Group. These 4 hotels offer a total of 1161 rooms on the island. Just east of the resorts by the causeway to Cayo Coco is a marina used by yachts, sport fishing and tour boats. One of the country's best beaches, the Playa Pilar (Pilar Beach) is located at the western end of Cayo Guillermo. This beach is named after Ernest Hemingway's yacht, the cabin cruiser Pilar. The island provides the setting for the climax of Hemingway's last novel Islands in the Stream.
Access to the island is possible through the Jardines del Rey Airport (Aeropuerto Jardines del Rey) (IATA: CCC, ICAO: MUCC) as well as by means of a long causeway from mainland Cuba to Cayo Coco leading to a second shorter causeway to Cayo Guillermo, connecting the two kays.
Sparsely inhabited in early years by fishermen and charcoal producers, the island gained fame in the 1960s with deep sea fishermen. The first resort was built in 1993 in an era known as "Tourist apartheid" as Cuban citizens were not allowed on the island unless they worked at the resorts serving tourists. However this restriction was lifted after 2000 and Cubans who can afford motor transport often visit Playa Pilar on the island. Many staff who work in the hotels commute from the distant mainland town of Morón.

We spent a few days on Cayo Guillermo aiming to enjoy those picturesque white-sand beaches in a paradise setting. It's truly a lovely place, and the famous Pilar beach (Playa Pilar) is a delight. You will not be there alone, though - this is a place where thousands of Canadians head to! :-)
"Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing."

Bosham, Facts or Fiction -
Bosham Church - is the only Church depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry.
And it is rumoured that the Saxon King Harold (Battle of Hastings 1066) is buried in the Church not Waltham Abbey.
Dylan Thomas lived in Bosham for 3 months during World War Two.
Ernest Hemingway knew and loved Chichester Harbour - he was a war
correspondent here during World War Two.
King Canute is linked to Bosham and to this day many a wannabe modern Canute who parks a car to long on the foreshore, can expect to experience some dampness around the ankles.
The Old Man and the Sea is a novella by Ernest Hemingway written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime.
One of his most famous works, it centers upon an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream. Though it has been the subject of disparate criticism, it is noteworthy in twentieth century fiction and in Hemingway's canon, reaffirming his worldwide literary prominence and significant in his selection for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
This is an old capture that I happened upon while searching for another... always enjoyed and maybe so will you.

'55 Dodge: It rattled & jerked & shuddered its way from the small town of Guanabacoa to the docks at Regla, where I'd get the ferry back to Havana. The interior roof was total rust. The upholstery slashed. The gear shift creaked & groaned. But it got me there. And Reynoldo, a GI-Joe kind of guy & owner-driver of the Dodge, was way cool ! AND exercising the lost art of opening doors! Best $5 I've spent in a long time :) Everyone knows about the 1950's american cars that are Cuba's timewarp. They're everywhere. Some are utterly delapidated, like Rey's dodge. Others are in pristine condition as if kept under glass for the past 50-60 years. Some even date back to the 40's. To ride in one is like time travel, one could be going to a drive-in movie with Fats Domino blaring from the radio. Or wearing a white sport coat & a pink carnation :) 1950's american-made vehicles were built like tanks, even outliving airplanes of that era. The 1-3 year trade-in menality of US car consumers made them available to Cuba prior to the 1959 Revolution & subsequent embargo. And there they've stayed, a defining iconic image of the island. How have they kept them going all these decades? They're magicians !!
the late great Fats Domino in concert / Blueberry Hill / love it !!!!! :))
