A Few Softer Words

Sometimes when we're really down, we go here and then, everything gets better.

500 days

It is quite hard to find good romantic US movies nowadays, without them being dramatical or where someone gets killed.Recently the focus was on "dysfunctionnal" people a.k.a. "little miss sunshine", etc... 

But for once, we got out the cinema liking what what we saw. The actors were good, Zooey D. still a bit eerie but plausible, and Joe Gordon L. über charming and disarming (yes, we did melt down). The soundtrack is enjoyable despite a Carla Sarkozy apparition from the past (from her 1st album), and even though the direction goes sometimes a bit too far in the originality (the musical scene after their first night), the love story itself is really well written and described as something to which anybody can relate.

We hope it'll lead the way to other good love stories... or as the underline goes to other good stories about love.

Pagan Poetry 5 : Victor Hugo & Franz Liszt

Despite the great version sung by Diana Damrau, since we saw Barbara Bonney sing it, we just can't get it out of our head, and it's monday morning and everybody needs a bit of tenderness sometimes.

The lyrics are from Victor Hugo and the music by Liszt


Oh! When I Sleep

Oh, when I sleep, approach my bed,
As Laura appeared to Petrach;
And when in passing, your breath touches me...
Suddenly my lips
Will part!

On my glum face, where perhaps is ending
A dark dream which lasted too long,
As your glance like a star arises...
Suddenly my dream
Will become radiant!

Then on my lips, where a flame is fluttering,
A flash of love that God has kept pure,
Place a kiss, and from an angel, become a woman...
Suddenly my soul
Will be awakened.





Oh! quand je dors, viens auprès de ma couche,
comme à Pétrarque apparaissait Laura,
Et qu'en passant ton haleine me touche...
Soudain ma bouche
S'entrouvrira!

Sur mon front morne où peutêtre s'achève
Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
Que ton regard comme un astre se lève...
Soudain mon rêve
Rayonnera!

Puis sur ma lèvre où voltige une flamme,
Éclair d'amour que Dieu même épura,
Pose un baiser, et d'ange deviens femme...
Soudain mon âme
S'éveillera!

Into My Arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
