Parisian Streets

Avenue des Champs-Élysées

"Listen, the one and only, listen to street noise / This is the today poem, today love. Once again the rhythm is the only transition: Rodin, Ucello, Cohn-Bendit, Nanterre / Boul'Mich on the first barricade…, a cup of coffee among protestors, sometimes sensitivity / night rhythm in the voice Marcuse'a, street noise, Levi-Strauss, Jevtushenko , the names of love changes as the days, today is Jean-Luc Godard, and Polanski tomorrow… / " Poem about May Parisian streets by Argentine writer Julio Cortázar (interpretation: J.D.)

Double-decker type "open-deck" - no overhead protection.

Near the Opera - he is vindicated!

Seine river has many faces

2008-11-29T12:12:00.015+01:00

Seine river divides two beautiful parts of Paris. Much here are the stationary ships - cafes and hotels and houses on the water. For the rich - luxury. For the poor - ordinary barges.

"…River selected from a foreign world, flows through our history"
“Seine” by Polish poet Kazimierz Wierzyński

A little different Seine - before the storm.

Batobus - a water bus - a regular line by the Seine.

Polish accents
Over the Seine river came Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński, a brilliant interpreter of French writers, to bought a books from the riverine secondhand bookseller. Over the Seine also came poet Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska with her dolorific lost love. In the Seine made a hole in the water Bronisław Piłsudzki, an outstanding ethnographer - brother of Józef Piłsudzki, the great restorer of Poland after slavery. Above the Seine river banks, at Pont Neuf bridge met one's a death Piotr Curie, the husband of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the Polish twice Nobel laureate. About the Seine wrote Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Juliusz Słowacki and Kazimierz Wierzyński.

Donjon-52m,the most famous part of the castle Vincennes

Dating back to the 12th century, a little before the Louvre, Vincennes is one of the few castles which, from the Middle Ages to our time, has consistently found itself at the centre of French History.

From there went the last Crusade / probably /.

Another simple Polish definition of horse /from the XIX century/: What is the horse - everyone can see. But if ever...?

UMBRELLAS
Umbrellas our memories
outstretched over us
vortex colors
cover us
before the rain
sad thoughts
and unrests -
(...)
In due time
I’ll buy You an
yellow umbrella
I know that You long for it.

Parisian Impressions

2008-09-02T17:18:00.015+02:00

A typical Frenchman ?!

In the Paris street I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.”
