Desde la terraza de la Tate Modern de Londres
Este es un poema de James Fenton (hecho por encargo para la inauguración de la Tate Modern). En la imagen, el puente del milenio, de Foster, y al fondo la catedral de san Pablo.
This turbine hall, these galleries of light
Are freighted with a purpose and a power.
This bridge is like a contract, and this tower
Evidence of a legacy, a right.
Massive with possibility they stand
Open to such surprise as may exist
Deep in the pulse, the chambers of the heart;
Exacting fresh precision from the hand,
Risk in the brush, resilience in the wrist,
New thoughts to paint, new passions to impart.
American Pie
La letra de esta canción ha dado lugar a muchas interpretaciones (el rey era Dylan, la reina Joan Baez...) pero para su autor lo que significa es que "ya no tendría que volver a trabajar en muchos años". Luego ya en serio dijo que cada uno la interpretara como le pareciera.

La primera noche Vladimir Maiakovski
Libertad de expresión
La primera noche ellos se acercan y cogen una flor de nuestro jardín,
y no decimos nada...
La segunda noche, ya no se esconden y pisan las flores,
matan nuestro perro y no decimos nada...
Hasta que un día el más frágil de ellos
entra solo en nuestra casa,
nos roba la luna, y conociendo nuestro miedo
nos arranca la voz de la garganta.
Y porque no dijimos nada
...ya no podemos decir nada'
Lo encontré (reencontré) en un blog que descubrí ayer: empiezoaentender que me ha fascinado...

Man in the mirror, Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson cantaba sobre el hombre en el espejo, al único que podría cambiar si quisiera..
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel real good
Gonna make a difference
Gonna make it right
As I, turn up the collar onMy favorite winter coatThis wind is blowin' my mindI see the kids in the streetWith not enough to eatWho am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disregardA broken bottle topAnd a one man's soulThey follow each other on the wind ya know'Cause they got nowhere to goThat's why I want you to know
I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd no message could've been any clearerIf they wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make a change
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of loveIt's time that I realizeThat there are some with no homeNot a nickel to loanCould it be really me pretending that they're not alone?
A willow deeply scarredSomebody's broken heartAnd a washed out dream (washed out dream)They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see'Cause they got no place to beThat's why I'm starting with me
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)And no message could've been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make a change
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh)I'm asking him to change his ways (oh)And no message could've been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make thatChange
I'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)No message could've been any clearer(If you wanna make the world a better place)(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
you can't(Then you close your) close your, your mindWith the man in the mirror, oh yeahI'm asking him to change his ways (better change)No message could've been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself and then make a change
gonna feel real good now
I'm gonna make a changeIt's gonna feel real goodCome on (change)Just lift yourselfYou knowYou've got to stop itYourself (yeah)
I've got to make that change today(Man in the mirror) you got toYou got to not let yourself brother(Yeah) you know(Make that change) I've got to get that man, that man
You've got toYou've got to moveCome onCome onYou got toStand up, stand up (yeah, make that change)Stand up
Stand up and liftYourself, now(Man in the mirror)
Gonna make that change come on(Man in the mirror)
You know itYou know itYou know itYou knowChangeMake that change
