  1. Thank you =)

     

    My favourite poems are by Sappho who lived on the island Lesbos around 600 BC. They haven't find a complete poem, only fragments. No one really knows much about her, but her poems are filled with love and some call her the first love poet. I use to read the fragments in Swedish. I love the feeling in them, but I haven't find it in the English translations yet ;)

     

     

    **

    What country maiden charms thy heart,

    However fair, however sweet,

    Who has not learned by gracious Art

    To draw her dress around her feet?

     

    **

     

    By the cool water the breeze murmurs, rustling

    Through apple branches, while from quivering leaves

    Streams down deep slumber.

     

    **

     

    Who made me gifts and honoured me?

     

    **

     

    To you, fair maidens, my mind does not change.

     

    **

     

    Turn to me, dear one, turn thy face,

    And unveil for me in thine eyes, their grace.

     

    **

     

    I think men will remember us even hereafter.

    With my two arms, I do not aspire to to touch the sky.

     

    **

     

    Now like a mountain wind the oaks o'erwhelming,

    Eros shakes my soul.

    The sinking moon has left the sky,

    The Pleiades have also gone.

    Midnight comes--and goes, the hours fly

    And solitary still, I lie.

     

    The Moon has left the sky,

    Lost is the Pleiads' light;

    It is midnight,

    And time slips by,

    But on my couch alone I lie.

  2. I don't really write poems, these are just some of the latest I've written, but poetry is not my thing. And I'm not a translator either, all of these are written in Swedish originally ;)

     

     

    a little thought

    You fill me up

    I can't think, you're in my head

    You're in my ears, I can't hear

    You want me to shut my mouth

    but I can't!

    You fill me up.

    I can't meet your requirement.

     

     

     

    me against the world

    It was raining

    The World and I drank tea

    But the World wanted coffee.

    The World looked at me

    I drank in silence

    The World said nothing

    We both knew where we were going

     

    "You and I don't belong together"

     

     

     

    little brother close his eyes

    Big brother sees you

    you don't stand a chance

    Hide here

    I will protect you

    You will not be seen

     

    Little brother close his eyes

    do what you like

    Don't hide here

    I don't want to protect you

    Not without cause

    You need to be seen

     

    Big brother sees you

    Little brother close his eyes

    What do you want?

     

     

    observation

    it's grey

    my heart is hiding

    the warmth is hiding

    no, it's too early

     

    it's grey

    water fill the earth

    they pull dead dogs in leashes

    the clouds say nothing

     

    i observe

    from a safe distance

    i see what you don't see

    what you don't understand

     

     

     

     

     

    when the wind is cold

    but the sun still shining

    they stand there

    sun in the eyes

    reflections

    they stand together

    the ocean in front of them

    roar darkly

    hide more than they know

    they turn around and walk away

    the ocean gives and the ocean takes

    they go together

    leave what it took

    she look at him

    he take her hand

    they go together

    away from the ocean

    from the salt air

    the seagulls cries

    and the waves dance

  3. I just started watching it, we have seen 7 episodes. I can't say it's good. The story is weak, the characters are kind of pale. I can't feel with anyone yet, and I think that I should start doing it after 7 episodes.

    I hate Damon, I think Elena is just like Meredith Grey from Grey's anatomy - terribly annoying and vacillating (is that a word?) The best characters are the little ones, Catherine, Matt, Bonnie and Vicki.

     

    But still, I'm stuck. I want to watch more of it. Hate being obsessed with tv-shows.

  4. Arie: I don't say there should only be a Palestian state and I understand both sides has done wrong, but you can't say just because Palestine do wrong too doesn't mean Israel are acting great. It's terrible what Israel are doing when they take over Palestine land, and they have done it for 60 years. That's all I'm saying. And on the other side Palestine do terrible things when they're bombing Israel and whatever they do.

    What I don't understand is why there can't be 2 states. Why is Israel a country but not Palestine? I think both should have rights, no one should need to fight for it.

  5. Of course Palestine should have the right to be a country. What would the americans say if someone decided to put a country in the middle of USA, and that country later took over more and more? I mean, no one would just agree with that. If you look at maps of Israel since the foundation in the 40's, no one can deny they have take a lot of the Palestine land.

     

    But on the other hand I heard a Palestine guy, maybe from Fatah or some other political organisation, interviewed at the news and he said that a membership in the UN could be negative for Palestine, because maybe it just was a way for the leader to put the conflict problem on UN or something like that. Stay on his position maybe. This guy was not all pro this anyhow, I guess there are two side of the same coin.

    But if not a member of the UN, I still think Palestine should have the right to be a own country.

  6. I don't really know what's the originals and covers. But Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah is better than Cohen's, if he now did the original.

    Eva Cassidy's Fields of gold is amazing.

    Nouvelle Vague do some pretty good covers too. Dancing with myself and Ever fallen in love are good.
