Spare a Camera?

A call for food and film stock for Beirut and Lebanon people.
Kouvertes jai odontopastes stelnoun alloi.

Belated (or) Yes!

And in the absence of anything to chronicle the present, a dedication, paraphrased, for what is to be left behind, as a chronicle of this present:

And I hope all men [sic] / Who think like this / Will soon lie / Underground

'Perfect Light'

There you are, in all your innocence,
Sitting among your daffodils, as in a picture
Posed as for the title: 'Innocence.'
Perfect light in your face lights it up
Like a daffodil. Like any one of those daffodils
It was to be your only April on earth
Among your daffodils. In your arms,
Like a teddy bear, your new son,
Only a few weeks into his innocence.
Mother and infant, as in the Holy portrait.
And beside you, laughing up at you,
Your daughter, barely two. Like a daffodil
You turn your face down to her, saying something.
Your words were lost in the camera. And the knowledge
Inside the hill on which you are sitting,
A moated fort hill, bigger than your house,
Failed to reach the picture. While your next moment,
Coming towards you like an infantryman
Returning slowly out of no-man's-land,
Bowed under something, never reached you -
Simply melted into the perfect light.

-Ted Hughes

Loss only works in a state of transference from one reader to the next.

Κάτι χειρότερο από άνεργος...

...- αιωρούμενος. Όχι μόνο δεν έχω συγκεκριμένη δουλειά - δεν ξέρω ούτε σε ποιόν επαγγελματικό χώρο ανήκω.

Ποτέ δεν ήξερα. Παντού ένιωθα απ' έξω. Κι αν δεν το ένιωθα εγώ, φρόντιζαν οι εκάστοτε συνάδελφοι να το αισθανθώ. Ούτε οι διαφημιστές παλιότερα με αποδέχθηκαν, ούτε πιο πρόσφατα οι δημοσιογράφοι. Όσο για τους συγγραφείς...

Καμιά φορά ζηλεύω αυτούς που έχουν ένα πλαίσιο εργασίας. Υποχρεώσεις, ωράριο, ιεραρχία, συνδικαλισμό. (Δεν υπάρχει χειρότερος και σκληρότερος εργοδότης από τον εαυτό σου.)

Ανεργία. Όχι επειδή δεν βρίσκω δουλειά. Αλλά επειδή δεν ξέρω που να την ζητήσω.

And while you are at it, can I get some jugged kippers and two poached eggs with my paper please? We 've got to take heart today. Thanks. / Catch up later over steak and chips or a pie or something. Off to Jermyn Street.

Interlude: Could really do with a (large) bloody mary. I'll just pop into The French House.
