Destruction

BY CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

TRANSLATED BY C. F. MACINTYRE

At my side the Demon writhes forever,

Swimming around me like impalpable air;

As I breathe, he burns my lungs like fever

And fills me with an eternal guilty desire.

Knowing my love of Art, he snares my senses,

Apearing in woman's most seductive forms,

And, under the sneak's plausible pretenses,

Lips grow accustomed to his lewd love-charms.

He leads me thus, far from the sight of God,

Panting and broken with fatigue into

The wilderness of Ennui, deserted and broad,

And into my bewildered eyes he throws

Visions of festering wounds and filthy clothes,

And all Destruction's bloody retinue.

[projectedbooks]

"A pair of lace curtains is blown by a breeze, wreathing around each other like lovers. There is no bed, or rather, there is an eternal absence of bed, but you can't stop two amorous curtains, not in a Mallarmean huddle, you can't!"

C. F. MacIntyre, translation notes for a triptych by Mallarme

Today’s Poem

Le Vin de chiffonniers --Charles Baudelaire

Souvent à la clarté rouge d'un réverbère Dont le vent bat la flamme et tourmente le verre, Au coeur d'un vieux faubourg, labyrinthe fangeux Où l'humanité grouille en ferments orageux,

On voit un chiffonnier qui vient, hochant la tête, Butant, et se cognant aux murs comme un poète, Et, sans prendre souci des mouchards, ses sujets, Epanche tout son coeur en glorieux projets.

Il prête des serments, dicte des lois sublimes, Terrasse les méchants, relève les victimes, Et sous le firmament comme un dais suspendu S'enivre des splendeurs de sa propre vertu.

Oui, ces gens harcelés de chagrins de ménage Moulus par le travail et tourmentés par l'âge Ereintés et pliant sous un tas de débris, Vomissement confus de l'énorme Paris,

Reviennent, parfumés d'une odeur de futailles, Suivis de compagnons, blanchis dans les batailles, Dont la moustache pend comme les vieux drapeaux. Les bannières, les fleurs et les arcs triomphaux

Se dressent devant eux, solennelle magie! Et dans l'étourdissante et lumineuse orgie Des clairons, du soleil, des cris et du tambour, Ils apportent la gloire au peuple ivre d'amour!

C'est ainsi qu'à travers l'Humanité frivole Le vin roule de l'or, éblouissant Pactole; Par le gosier de l'homme il chante ses exploits Et règne par ses dons ainsi que les vrais rois.

Pour noyer la rancoeur et bercer l'indolence De tous ces vieux maudits qui meurent en silence, Dieu, touché de remords, avait fait le sommeil; L'Homme ajouta le Vin, fils sacré du Soleil!

The Ragpickers' Wine --translated by C. F. MacIntyre

In the muddy maze of some old neighborhood, Often, where the street lamp gleams like blood, As the wind whips the flame, rattles the glass, Where human beings ferment in a stormy mass,

One sees a ragpicker knocking against the walls, Paying no heed to the spies of the cops, his thralls, But stumbling like a poet lost in dreams; He pours his heart out in stupendous schemes.

He takes great oaths and dictates sublime laws, Casts down the wicked, aids the victims' cause; Beneath the sky, like a vast canopy, He is drunken of his splendid qualities.

Yes, these people, plagued by household cares, Bruised by hard work, tormented by their years, Each bent double by the junk he carries, The jumbled vomit of enormous Paris,—

They come back, perfumed with the smell of stale Wine-barrels, followed by old comrades, pale From war, mustaches like limp flags, to march With banners, flowers, through the triumphal arch

Erected for them, by some magic touch! And in the dazzling, deafening debauch Of bugles, sunlight, of huzzas and drum, Bring glory to the love-drunk folks at home!

Even so, wine pours its gold to frivolous Humanity, a shining Pactolus; Then through man's throat of high exploits it sings And by its gifts reigns like authentic kings.

To lull these wretches' sloth and drown the hate Of all who mutely die, compassionate, God has created sleep's oblivion; Man added Wine, divine child of the Sun.

A poem which I discovered today and like to share:

Destruction

BY CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

TRANSLATED BY C. F. MACINTYRE

At my side the Demon writhes forever,

Swimming around me like impalpable air;

As I breathe, he burns my lungs like fever

And fills me with an eternal guilty desire.

Knowing my love of Art, he snares my senses,

Apearing in woman's most seductive forms,

And, under the sneak's plausible pretenses,

Lips grow accustomed to his lewd love-charms.

He leads me thus, far from the sight of God,

Panting and broken with fatigue into

The wilderness of Ennui, deserted and broad,

And into my bewildered eyes he throws

Visions of festering wounds and filthy clothes,

And all Destruction's bloody retinue.

— Rainer Maria Rilke, tr. by C. F. MacIntyre, from Duino Elegies; “The Second Elegy,”

[dk-thrive]

Everyone once, once only.

Why, if it's possible to spend this span of existence as laurel, a little darker than all other greens, with little waves on every leaf-edge (like the smile of a breeze), why, then, must we be human and, shunning destiny, long for it? . . .     Oh, not because happiness, that over-hasty profit of loss impending, exists. Not from curiosity, or to practice the heart, that would also be in the laurel . . . but because to be here is much, and the transient Here seems to need and concern us strangely. Us, the most transient. Everyone once, once only. Just once and no more. And we also once, Never again. But this having been once, although only once, to have been of the earth, seems irrevocable.

- Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by C. F. MacIntyre, from The Ninth Elegy Duino Elegies (University of California Press; Bilingual edition (April 2, 2001)

Current Audio Book List - 05-17-2018

Here is my current book list...I actually spent some time taking it from Audible and putting it in a text file.  I thought you might like it!

Yes...there is crappy politics and some erotic BDSM books.  Don't Judge, you are on a BDSM Leatherworking Tumblr!  :)

I do figure in the near future I might start putting some text along each of them like opinions, details or at least “Wikipedia links” to them so you can see what they are about.
