Soween. Come to the Sabat..

Photobucket
Soween: (Halloween, Samhain) Prehistoric in origin. The rising of the Pleiades star group, symbolizing the death of the Crone Goddess. One of the Celtic idiosyncrasies was the concept of beginning in darkness and working towards the light. As the year started with winter, the days started at sundown. Thus the night from October 31st to November 1st was part of samhain, known as oiche shamhna or "evening of samhain".

Why pajamas
A rayures, à fleurs ou à pois
Have stripes, flowers or polkadots
Pourquoi un pyjama
Why pajamas
En coton, en fil ou en soie
In cotton, in thread or in silk

Moi je n'en mets jamais
Me I never wear them
Non jamais je n'en mets jamais
No never, I never wear them
Je n'ai mis de ma vie un pyjama
I haven't in my life put on pajamas
De même aucun de mes amis
Also, none of my friends
N'en a aucun jamais de mes amis
Neither have any of my friends
N'a mis un pyjama

A quoi bon s'habillier
What good is dressing yourself
Quand on vient de se déshabiller
When it comes to undressing yourself
Il n'y a pas d'raison de s'arrêter
There's no reason for you to stop
On pass'rait sa vie et ses nuits à s'habiller
We spend our life and our nights dressing ourselves
S'habiller se déshabiller se r'habiller
Dressing, undressing, redressing ourselves

High On A Rocky Ledge - Moondog


(video by albi)

High On A Rocky Ledge - Moondog

High on a rocky ledge lives a Mädel, Edelweiß.
Shy as a shadow, lovely as lace, and cold as ice.
High on a rocky ledge, I pledged my ove to her.
Ev´ry time I climb up to Paradise.
How many times I´ve been up to see her, goodness knows, Huffing and puffing, dressed in the warmest climbing clothes.
How many dabces would be taken in my Hopeless pursuit of the Schnee-Mädel-Edelweiß.
Then spoke a spirit, "If you would win your Lady Love, There´s only one way: fall to your death from high above.
You will begin to grow in snow beside the one You have waited for to be mated with." Now, I´m an Edel, vice to my Mädel, Edelweiß.
Dying to be with her wasn´t any sacrifice.
We´re so deliriously happy on your ledge where I pledge my love to my Lady Fair.
You who are climbing breathless to see me and my love.
Snow flowers growing fonder on Lover´s Ledge above.
If you´ve the yen to pluck, then pluck us both, for we who have lived as one, wish to die as one.

The song in my head.

From the Morning by Nick drake

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.

So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.

And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around

So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.

My favourite graveyard at dusk on a glum Monday (with a song in my head.)

My Own True Family by Ted Hughes


Once I crept in an oakwood – I was looking for a stag.
I met an old woman there – all knobbly stick and rag.
She said; 'I have your secret here inside my little bag.'

Then she began to cackle and I began to quake.
She opened up her little bag and I came twice awake –
Surrounded by a staring tribe and me tied to a stake.

They said: 'We are the oak-trees and your own true family.
We are chopped down, we are torn up, you do not blink an eye.
Unless you make a promise now – now you are going to die.

'Whenever you see an oak-tree felled, swear now you will plant two.
Unless you swear the black oak bark will wrinkle over you
And root you among the oaks where you were born but never grew.'

This was my dream beneath the boughs, the dream that altered me.
When I came out of the oakwood, back to human company,
My walk was the walk of a human child, but my heart was a tree.
