Week 19: 1960′s

In mei 1960 bracht Roy Orbison Only the Lonely uit. Het nummer ken ik door mijn oma en opa, het was namelijk vroeger hun lievelingsslow. Het nummer gaat over een man met liefdesverdriet (of weltsmerz). Het is een lied waar ik in vele stemmingen naar kan luisteren, als ik me bedroefd, vreugdevol, ongerust,... voel kan ik altijd terecht bij goeie ouwe Ray.

John Steinbeck

All the goodness and the heroisms will rise up again, then be cut down again and rise up. It isn’t that the evil thing wins — it never will — but that it doesn’t die.

Kaže mi onomad moja žena

Za koju bih učinio sve

Volela bih da imam

Da ulicom trči za mnom

Kako da te zovem

Ili "moje drago"

Kaži mi

Sleep tight

Then he asked me would I yes his heart was going like mad & yes I said yes I will yes.

James Joyce

Happy #Bloomsday2018

-

Sleep tight. 

-

James Joyce begins a relationship with Nora Barnacle and subsequently uses the date to set the actions for his novel Ulysses; this date is now traditionally called Bloomsday. 

-

Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of  James Joyce, during which the events of his novel Ulysses (which is set on 16 June 1904) are relived. It is observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere. Joyce chose the date as it was the date of his first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle.    The name derived from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses.
