Text of the page (random words):
ite under his pen name and eventually adopted it as his legal name his illustrious and varied career not only included verse journalism and other writing but also diplomatic office political leadership and international negotiator and peace maker neruda after receiving the nobel peace prize for literature in 1971 his poetry obviously is what he is most remembered for and rightly so gabriel garcía márquez author of love in the time of cholera has called neruda the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language of course there s no language like his original spanish i ve gushed about spanish before and in a previous attempt t translating spanish verse i ve said how so much of the beauty gets lost if you have no other reason for learning spanish do it to hear neruda s poetry in its original language si tú me olvidas original english translation of course the words still retain their meaning when translated but the rhythm and the song of the words are lost in the english version there s just something about spanish that gets me the most mundane phrases can be filled with music to me when they re spoken in spanish i really do believe it is the most beautiful of the romance languages if not all languages poem 20 original english translation to me the challenge of writing poetry is creating that subtle musicality that can t be achieved with any other medium in most songs the melody carried the words in poetry the words must speak entirely for themselves making it a very vulnerable medium it s naked music i like for you to be still original english translation i encourage you all to explore the works of neruda both in print and video form though i find that listening to spoken words is more my style who are your favorite poets share 0 comments

thought funeral dress warning this post contains images of bones mummies and other death related things that some readers may find disturbing if you d like to read this post without pictures please click here everyone dies and we ve all probably thought a bit about what we want our loved ones to do with our remains however of all the arrangements we think about furthest from my mind would be the clothes i d be buried in even further from my mind would be the idea of being disinterred for the purposes of historical studies of course most of us are probably nowhere near as famous as say eleanor of toledo who married cosimo i de medici in 1539 effectively paving the way for the medici s reign and is credited with being the first modern first lady she died in 1562 and was buried in this dress when the medici tomb was opened in 1857 this was one of the artifacts recovered you can read more about it and other 16th century funeral dresses here the extant dress complete with lovely liquefied flesh stains of course we have always turned to burial sites and tombs as insights into cultures past in some cases these sites remain some of the last undisturbed sources of historical artifacts however when disturbing the rest of the dead what if any rules should be followed is there a time limit before it becomes creepy is it ever okay to dig up the dead for the sake of posterity this is totally for posterity we swear i suppose that in the presence of plunderers and grave robbers it s better for archaeologists to do it methodically and respectfully if it will be done by hoodlums better to have the items preserved in a museum and used to learn new things about cultures past i guess if you decided to be buried with all kinds of crazy riches that sort of thing is to be expected there s bound to be at least person who adopts the you can t take it with you way of thinking in countries like peru the sacking of tombs for pottery jewelry and other artifacts is pretty much commonplace this industry is sustained by a black market of private collectors and tourists who despite countless warnings against the destruction of cultural heritage still buy the stolen goods for the sake of owning a piece of history the results of grave robbery in peru that brings up another point museums is it wrong to display the personal belongings and even the bodies of ancient and not so ancient peoples at what point does it cross over from interesting to macabre to show corpses in glass cases the mummies of egyptian pharaohs don t seem to bother us too much but what about the bodies of regular people mummified naturally and were disinterred between 1865 and 1958 if and when family members were unable to pay the please don t dig up my dead relatives tax apparently the bodies were dumped in a warehouse and the mummified bodies attracted enough attention to eventually warrant the construction of a museum for the corpses no seriously don t mind me just acting out my last minutes of horror at being buried alive for the price of admission how is this different from viewing the remains of a king does him being an important personage make it okay i ve always found museums to be spooky for this very reason to see a person s entire life on display especially when so many different lives and cultures are crammed into one building it must be at the very least bad karma nah we re cool we don t really think about are adverse conditions in which our own bodies might be freakishly preserved and then put on display like the above mentioned mummies of guanajuanto so i assume we also wouldn t think about a situation where our entire city might become a walk through horror show monument that s exactly what happened to the people of pompeii and herculaneum in 79ce when mount vesuvius erupted and buried large expanses of both cities with unbelievably hot pumice and ash those who were unlucky enough to be in the path of this terrifying torrent had their lungs with hot ash with had the charming effect of both burning their lungs like rice paper and suffocating them at the same time the pyroclastic flow was so fast that most people didn t even have time to react to what was happening to them and their last moment was preserved long after their bodies had smoldered away since the very pumice that killed them decided that the awful way in which it killed them wasn t awful enough and decided that preserving their grotesque final expressions was the perfect salt to rub into wound created when their brains exploded from the intense and sudden heat asshole when pompeii and herculaneum were excavated one of the archaeologists discovered that by encasing the skeletons they found in concrete they could fill in the negative space left by the skin and organs to re create and preserve these people s most terrifying moment thank god i can stay this way for all eternity then we have places like the sedlec ossuary in prague where the remains of between 40 000 70 000 people who died during the black plague and hussite wars oh but it gets better when they remodeled the church in the 19th century they looked around the ossuary and thought gee these bones are a bit of a downer hey you františek rint can you do something about these bones that s much better yeah they basically turned it into the death obsessed victorians wet dream i don t get it either but the necessity for burial space during outbreaks of plagues and other epidemics seems to be the perfect fodder for horror fests such as these i remember being coerced into visiting countless catacombs when i lived in peru i don t care if it s emotionally scarring i already bought your ticket more or less of course nowadays our history books seems to glaze over a lot of the bits about death and dying and how a good chunk of our historical record of past civilizations comes from their tombs though i like it a lot more than the outlook we had just over a hundred years ago because we want to remember our daughter as she was a lifeless cold dead eyed corpse i m not trying to prove a specific point here mind you i m not trying to say that all museums should be torn down or that studying ancient cultures is wrong i m mostly musing in fact i d really like to hear your opinions on the subject what do you think share 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
