UTOPÍA
Cuando el tren se detenga, dijo la mujer, debes montarte. ¿Pero cómo sabré si es mi tren?, preguntó la niña. Será tu tren, dijo la mujer, porque es tu hora. Un tren se acercó a la estación; nubes de humo gris salían de la chimenea. Estoy aterrada, piensa la niña, agarrada a los tulipanes amarillos que va a regalarle a su abuela. Tiene el pelo recogido en unas tranzas apretadas para que aguante el viaje. Luego, sin decir una palabra, se sube al tren, que emite un extraño sonido, no en un lenguaje como el que ella habla, algo más como un gemido o un grito.
Alas, very soon everything will disappear:
the bird calls, the delicate blossoms. In the end,
even the earth itself will follow the artist's name into oblivion.
Nevertheless, the artist intends
a mood of celebration.
Louise Glück

Qué exuberante es el mundo
Qué lleno de cosas que no me pertenecen.

Departure
The night isn’t dark; the world is dark.
Stay with me a little longer.
[...]
How can I know you love me
unless I see you grieve over me?

Ok, the feed seems very self-aware here and providing lots of good tips for noobs (I’m not sure the kids are saying “noobs” anymore and not willing to endure the ridicule of the 15 year old by asking, and yeah, we are both still awake because #motheroftheyear over here in GMT+5). I’ve stopped posting anything original on TFS, and today I actually *picked up a physical book* and read the words *inside* the book, which felt novel. #twittermigration #reading #LouiseGlück #Books

Doncs m'està agradant força 'Averno' de Louise Glück. I estem a l'època de l'any perfecte per llegir-lo.

Doncs avui ha estat la darrera visita a Alibri perquè tancarà el 3 de desembre. Vaig arribar a Alibri quan va tancar Catalonia, Bosch i Happy Books. Ara on aniré a parar, a Laie? Alguna recomanació de llibreries independents per la zona de Barcelona i bon sortit de llibres en anglès i francès?
Els llibres són 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland', de Lewis Carroll; 'Averno', de Louise Glück -poesia- i 'Petites boîtes', de Yôko Ogawa.
