Inspiration/Inspiracion

Neruda1_1

I have this lovely book, it is called Odes to Opposites by Pablo Neruda.  It is beautifully bound and the illustrations are just gorgeous, pencil drawings, so simple and so great.  I wanted to show you some of them, maybe they will inspire you as they do me.  Of course, the poetry, to me is the most beautiful, Neruda is my favourite of all times.  The book is billingual and the illustrator is Ferris Cook.  {Click on the images to see them bigger}

Tengo un libro lindisimo llamado Odas a los Opuestos, de Pablo Neruda.  La encuadernacion es muy buena y las ilustraciones son excepcionales, dibujos en lapiz, tan simples y tan lindos!  Te queria mostrar algunos, ojala que te inspiren como me inspiran a mi.  Por supuesto, la poesia es maravillosa, Neruda es mi poeta favorito.  El libro es bilingue y el ilustrador es Ferris Cook.  {Hace click sobre la imagen para verla mas grande}

Neruda3

Joy, green leaf
resting on the window sill,
tiny
brightness
newly born
musical elephant,
dazzling
coin
occasional
fragile gust of wind
but
more often
everlasting bread,
hope realized [...]
Neruda4





Neruda5_1





Alegria,
hoja verde
caida de la ventana,
minuscula
claridad
recien nacida,
elefante sonoro,
deslumbrante
moneda,
a veces
rafaga quebradiza,
pero
mas bien
pan permanente,
esperanza cumplida [...]

Ode/Oda

ForestThis
moment
as smooth
as a board,
and fresh,
this hour,
this day
as clean
as an untouched glass
-not a single
spiderweb
from the past:
we touch
the moment
with our fingers,
we cut it
to size,
we direct
its blooming.
It's living,
it's alive:
it brings nothing
from yesterday that can't be redeemed,
nothing from the past.

  Ode to the present {fragment}, by Pablo Neruda

Este
presente
liso
como una tabla,
fresco,
esta hora,
este dia
limpio
como una copa nueva
-del pasado
no hay una
telaran~a-,
tocamos
con los dedos
el presente,
cortamos
su medida,
dirigimos
su brote,
esta viviente,
vivo,
nada tiene
de ayer irremediable,
de pasado perdido...

        Oda al presente {fragmento}, Pablo Neruda

I took that photo in Massachusetts last June.  Have a great and present day!
Saque esta foto en Massachusetts en junio del an~o pasado.  Que puedas quedarte en el presente hoy y que tenga un buen dia.

Summer/Verano

Bellagio_1
Chuhuly glass, lobby at Bellagio

The morning is full of storm
in the heart of summer.
The clouds travel like white handkerchiefs of goodbye,
the wind, travelling, waving them in its hands.
The numberless heart of the wind
beating above our loving silence.      

          Excerpt of 'The Morning is Full' by Pablo Neruda

Es la man~ana llena de tempestad
en el corazon del verano.
Como pan~uelos blancos de adios viajan las nubes,
el viento las sacude con sus viajeras manos.
Innumerable corazon del viento
latiendo sobre nuestro silencio enamorado.         

        Fragmento de 'Es la Man~ana Llena' de Pablo Neruda
