Kevin Coyne - In Silence

Here in silence, trap the hours, trap the days, listen to them with their ways, with their, with their , with their eternal arguing

Don't they realize it's causing pain?

Here in silence, imagining Valhalla, imagining something strong, imagining something that will last for longer than a minute or an hour without a storm

Sing of sunshine, a glistening snowy cloud

Here in silence, poetizing, memorizing, talking to my friends who are far away at some school, they will not let me say, let me feel what I want to feel

Listen

Chorus: Oh oh, the children know, I said oh oh the children grow, I said oh oh I love them so

Here in silence, listening to the echoes of a million children in a million council houses, they're all over the world screaming, screaming in, not daring to scream under the sheets

Here in silence, anyway they don't have to be there, they could be anywhere, they try to care but they can't leave, they cannot go, they cannot go because Mummy and Daddy they've told them to stay

Here in silence, listenng to the tumbling, the banging, the crashing, the smashing, the mashing of mighty minds that should know better but can't sort it out

Everybody (I said)

Chorus

Here in silence, listen, listen, hear my knocking brain, you're driving me mad

Here in silence, why don't you sort it out, don't monkey around, be sound, be strong and love us all, you're the root of my life, you're the root, you're the root of our soul

Here in silence, somebody write a song for me, somebody tell me what to see, I'll write it (repeat) cause it's writing itself, can't you hear? all over the world

Chorus

Don't hurt them

Kevin Coyne - Sunday Morning Sunrise 

(Kevin Coyne - 1975) (MATCHING HEAD AND FEET)

Must be Sunday morning sunrise, yes it's creeping down on me
Glaring through the windows, shining all over me

Chorus: And my children are asleep and I hope that they don't wake

Must be Sunday morning once again.
Must be Sunday morning sunrise, yes love me, I love you
Put your arm across my chest my dear
All your loving, let it show, let is show right through

Chorus - Solo - Chorus

Love me, love me darling
Love me, love me cause I love you
All these years we spent together
There's nobody else will do, it has to be you
And our children are asleep and I hope that they don't wake
Must be Sunday morning once again
And our children are asleep and I hope that they don't wake
Must be Sunday morning once again

NASA: It is happening now - Está sucediendo ahora - 06-04-13 - Myanmar - Thailand - Fires in Southeast Asia

The Asian monsoon dominates the climate of Southeast Asia. From roughly mid-April to September, it is rainy and hot; from November to mid-March, it is cooler and dry. Late in the dry season, fires become widespread (both intentional and accidental) as people use burning to clear and maintain agricultural and residential landscapes.
This image of fires burning throughout Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand was acquired on March 22, 2013, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite. MODIS detects fires not from visible smoke plumes, but from thermal infrared energy radiating from the land surface. The heat is invisible in images like this, but the locations where MODIS detected fires are labeled with red dots.
In permanently cultivated (usually lowland) areas, fires are used to burn crop residues and get the land ready for the growing season. In urban and residential areas, people burn leaves, trash, and brush. In the mountains, fires may indicate permanent conversion of forest to agricultural land or they may be associated with shifting cultivation, also known as swidden farming. In this system, patches of forest are cyclically cut down, burned, cultivated, and then left fallow for a time. Secondary forest or other vegetation reclaims the clearing during the fallow period.
Fires have been part of the land management practices for hundreds to thousands of years in this region, and they are not necessarily hazardous...at least not immediately. The smoke from fires has a big influence on air quality and human health, greenhouse gas emissions, the carbon cycle, and biodiversity.
“Temperature inversions that cause significant haze to build up near the surface that far exceed regional air quality standards often occur around this time of year,” explained Ritesh Gautam, a NASA atmospheric scientist. “The amount of smoke in the atmosphere usually peaks in March and April, though it depends somewhat on the timing of the monsoon,”

Elegías Romanas

1
A vosotros debemos el saber
que hemos sido felices una vez.
¡Decid, piedras; hablad vosotros, altos palacios!
¡Una palabra, oh vías! Genio, ¿no te conmueves?
Sí, un alma tiene todo dentro tus sacros muros,
¡oh Roma eterna! Solo que aun para mí está muda.
¡Oh, quién podría decirme en qué ventana antaño
vi la pura beldad cuyo fuego es un bálsamo!
¡Ay, qué torpe mi alma no adivina aún la senda,
vagando por la cual tiempo perdí precioso!
Templos, palacios, ruinas y columnas hoy miro
cual hombre que al viajar sacar provecho sabe.
Mas pronto su tarea termina y solo queda
un templo, el del amor, que a iniciados acoge.
¡Un mundo, en verdad, eres, Roma! Mas sin Amor,
¡ni el mundo sería mundo ni Roma fueras tú!


2
¡Rendid a quien queráis, parias! ¡Yo estoy ya a salvo!
Bellas damas, señores de la más rancia alcurnia,
comunicaos noticias de los viejos parientes
y a la cohibida charla siga el insulso juego.
Y vosotros también, con vuestras sosas peñas,
grandes y chicas, todo de tedio me llenáis,
repitiendo esas sandias políticas noticias
que a lo largo de Europa persiguen al viajero.
Igual que la canción de Mambrú a aquel inglés,
de París a Liorna y a Roma y aun a Nápoles,
antaño persiguiera; y si a Esmirna bogara,
también a recibirle allí Mambrú saliera.
Pues lo mismo yo ahora tengo que oír por doquier
censuras para el pueblo, para los reyes críticas.
Así que no tan pronto descubráis mi refugio,
que Amor, regio mecenas, se dignara prestarme.
Cúbrenme allí sus alas; y mi romana bella,
a fuer de tal no teme las lenguas viperinas;
de chismes no se cuida, que adivinar tan solo
los deseos del amado, solicita, pretende.
Del extranjero plácenle los libres, rudos modos,
que de montes y nieves y de cabañas dícenle;
la llama que en su pecho ella prende, comparte,
y celebra no aprecie como el romano el oro.
Mejor servida ahora su mesa está; de sobra
tiene trajes y un coche que la lleve a la Ópera.
De su nórtico huésped hija y madre se ufanan,
y en sus romanos pechos el bárbaro domina.


3
¡No te pese, oh amada, tan pronto haberte dado!
Segura está; de ti yo nada malo pienso.
Por modo muy diverso de Amor las flechas hieren:
las hay que el corazón lentamente envenenan,
y las hay que buidas, traspasan la médula
y en fiebre fulminante la sangre nos inflaman.
En los heroicos tiempos en que dioses y diosas
amaban, iban juntos mirada, deseo y goce.
¿Crees que usó de remilgos con el joven Anquisos
Venus cuando en los campos vio su apuesta figura?
¿Ni que al joven durmiente respetara la Luna,
sabiendo que, envidiosa, despertaríalo el Alba?
Miró Hero a su Leandro en medio de la fiesta,
y llegada la noche lanzóse él a las ondas.
Por agua al Tíber iba la virginal princesa
Rea Silvia, cuando Amor hirióla con su dardo.
¡Así Marte engendró sus hijos!... Una loba
amamantólos!... ¡Roma fue así reina del mundo!


4
Piadosos los amantes somos; culto rendimos
a todos los demonios, a todo Dios honramos.
¡Iguales a vosotros, romanos triunfadores!,
que en Roma a todos ellos ofrecisteis albergue;
a los egipcios, templos de nocturno basalto,
de blanco alegre mármol a los dioses de Grecia.
No habrán, pues, de enojarse, si en honor de uno de ellos
quemamos un incienso raramente preciado.
Porque, no lo negamos, a un dios especialmente
cada día dedicamos nuestras preces e incienso.
Gravemente joviales, en secreto oficiamos,
y diz que tal secreto al iniciado cuadra.
Antes de las Erinnias la furia arrostraríamos
antes sufrir querríamos de Jove los rigores
en la rueda y la roca, que del grato servicio
amoroso perder el gustoso entusiasmo;
la diosa que adoramos se llama la Ocasión
y mostrársenos suele con mil varios aspectos.
De Prometeo pudiera la hija ser y de Tetis,
que con astucia varia engañaba a los héroes.
Ella también éngaña al inexperto y sandio,
al dormilón esquiva y al vigilante ayuda,
pero solo se entrega al activo y osado;
con él vuélvese mansa y cariñosa y tierna.
Yo también pude verla; es morena, y copioso
su negro pelo cubre su frente en demasía,
enroscándose en rizos en torno a su garganta,
y en no peinadas ondas junto a sus sendas sienes.
No me paré a pensarlo; cogí a la fugitiva,
y mis besos y abrazos, experta, devolvióme.
¡Qué dichoso sentirme! Pero pasó aquel tiempo,
y de romanos lazos ahora ya libre estoy.
