... we had a crush on her ever since our big brother took us to the movies to see "Dracula" and we were not allowed in because of our young age...

She's been playing in indie movies these past years which is to her credit, but we do hope she'll make a big comeback, or just better than Star Trek really...

We love you Wino !

Pagan Poetry 3 : Licht und Liebe

One major opera star of the 70's and the 80's, with a voice still considered as an abnormality is the incomparable Edda Moser.
Combining a real talent in acting and a striking voice of power and great extent, she graved in stones roles as Die Königin der Nacht, and other mozart heroins.
Since we're living in a state of blues recently we dug up this lovely Lied written by gay Schubert and sung by Hermann Prey and Edda.




ENGLISH TRANSLATION (by Kathy Wolfe):
Love is a sweet light
As the Earth yearns for the sun
And for each bright star
In the wide blue faraway
So yearns the heart for the joy of Love
For it is a sweet light.

See how high, in silent celebration
Far over there, bright stars sparkle!
From the earth they flee, [from] that dark
Confusion-filled, troubled veil.
Woe is me, how troubled
I feel, deep in my soul,
Which in joy once bloomed;
Now made desolate, without Love.

Love is a sweet light
As the Earth yearns for the sun
And for each bright star
In the wide blue faraway
So yearns the heart for the joy of Love:
Love is a sweet light.

GERMAN LYRICS:
Liebe ist ein süßes Licht.
Wie die Erde strebt zur Sonne
Und zu jenen hellen Sternen
In den weiten blauen Fernen,
Strebt das Herz nach Liebeswonne;
Denn sie ist ein süßes Licht.

Sieh, wie hoch in stiller Feier
Droben helle Sterne funkeln:
Von der Erde fliehn die dunkeln,
Schwermutsvollen trüben Schleier.
Wehe mir, wie so trübe
Fühl' ich tief mich im Gemüte,
Das in Freuden sonst erblüte,
Nun vereinsamt, ohne Liebe.

Liebe ist ein süßes Licht.
Wie die Erde strebt zur Sonne
Und zu jenen hellen Sternen
In den weiten blauen Fernen,
Strebt das Herz nach Liebeswonne:
Liebe ist ein süßes Licht.

Bulle :

Stéphane :

... we were recently watching Bunuel's movie "The discreet charm of the bourgeoisie" (with Delphine S. in it of course) and we couldn't help but notice that all of the female cast was just dazzling.
