沒有刻上文字 天天不會忘懷
自我深愛著你 遲早也會活埋
像這風眼移近 捲走一對愛的人
沒有比這樣更對 還給你今天的身份
沒法讀 的眼神 當中千古奧秘不可解
但再讀 一顆心 就看見一個我 亦看見一個你

Self portrait
When I was young I always wanted to be a writer and write a book with a typewriter...

WRITERS RESIST: Louder Together for Free Expression was a literary protest on the steps of the New York Public Library’s Schwarzman Building at 42nd St. that brought together hundreds of writers and artists and thousands of New Yorkers on the birthday of civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr. American poet laureates Robert Pinsky, Author and Rita Dove offered each other hope and inspiration with "inaugural" poems.
He worked as lead Actor in one of the Ladhaki films produced by a french company. Currently he is a school teacher and runs this grocery shop in free time.
I tell people I'm a writer, but what I mean to say is, "I want to do big things but all I have are these stupid words."
I came across this wonderful typewriter in an antique store / gallery the other day. I wish I had a typewriter like that!
The show's producer told me that when CAP showed up unexpected, he was offered a clean wall to do a fill-in, but insisted on going over, so POBE had to do a fill-in for the sole purpose of CAP to go over him.

The inspired hill of Vézelay
The Burgundy hill of Vézelay, which French writer Paul Claudel named “eternal”, has been drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims (nowadays more likely tourists) since time immemorial. It has also drawn strife, battles and pillage: the big monastery was no less than six times destroyed by fire, and always rebuilt. Here, the Second Crusade was preached on Easter Day of 1146 by Bernard, abbot of Clairvaux, whom King Louis VII of France had summoned to be lectured on the sort of penance his royal person should submit to to atone for his many sins: Bernard chose the Crusade. Crusaders congregated here as well for the Third one, in 1190.
The history of Vézelay began around 850, when Count Girard de Roussillon founded a nunnery at the foot of the hill, in the locale now occupied by the village of Saint-Père-sous-Vézelay. Fifteen years later, the nuns had been replaced by monks for reasons that never reached us. What we know is that further to a Viking raid on Burgundy in 887, the monks took refuge at the top of the hill, in the remnants of a Roman oppidum, and never went down again.
Originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monastery they built on the hilltop was placed in 1050 under the patronage of Mary Magdalene, further to the claimed transport of her bones from the Holy Land by a monk named Badillon. This so-called “transposition” was validated by the Pope, but the people of Provence rebelled fiercely against that ruling: it had indeed always been well known that the saint, who had been the very first, even before the apostles, to see Christ resuscitated, had left the Holy Land and come to France where she finished her life in the mountains of the Sainte- Baume, which were named after her. Her bones had been kept in the basilica of Saint-Maximin, the largest church in the whole of Provence.
Thus sanctioned by the Pope, and confirmed yet again by Pascal II in 1103, the claim of the Vézelay monks drew immense crowds (and brought enormous riches). The fact that they also claimed to have the bones of Martha and Lazarus were not for nothing in the considerable attraction the abbey had on a pilgrimage-hungry Christendom. However, the Provençal people were victorious in the end, when they revealed that the bones of the Magdalene, which had been hidden during the 900s as the Saracens drew nearer, were opportunely re-discovered in 1279. This time, Pope Boniface VIII found in their favor and that ruling was never overturned: the pilgrimage to Vézelay was dead, even though the big church kept its dedication.
The rest of the history of Vézelay is a long downhill walk. In 1537, the Benedictine monks are replaced by canons. In 1568, the Protestants seize the church and burn it again. Finally, in 1819, lightning strikes and sets the church aflame for the last time. When architect Viollet-le-Duc, mandated by Minister Prosper Mérimée, arrives on-site in 1840, the abbey church of Vézelay is but a gutted carcass, ready to collapse. That same year, the church was put on the first list of French Historic Landmarks (“Monuments historiques”) and restoration works were undertaken urgently; they were to last until 1861, and many other such works have been undertaken since.
The church was granted basilica status in 1920, and in 1979 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, as it is the starting point of one of the major Paths to Compostela, the Via Lemovicensis, so-named because it runs through the large city of Limoges.
On that day of June 2024 I went to Vézelay as a side trip during a photographic expedition for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, one of the non-profit heritage organizations I work for as a pro bono photographer, it was raining. Therefore, I took no photo of the outside, but instead concentrated on the inside. Furthermore, a lot of what can be seen on the outside, including the façade and the tympanum, are re-creations of the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc, and thus much less interesting for our purpose.
Under the chancel and apse is a large groin-vaulted crypt that features more ancient columns and rudimentary, archaic capitals. Some of those columns were replaced and “re-invented” by Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, as was his wont. You can easily distinguish them on this photo.
This crypt is where the claimed remains of Mary Magdalene were kept. They still keep up the pretense, as you will see in upcoming photographs... I also found, on no less than the official tourism website for the département of Yonne, in which Vézelay sits, the outright lie according to which the Magdalene’s bones had been carried away from Provence to Vézelay under the Saracen threat... The cheek is unbelievable, when the papacy itself has recognized since the late 1200s, as explained above, that this never happened...!
