Looking forward to the tenderness of tomorrow In revolt against greed Between anger and love Opening its roots like a new hand Reconciled with its cry And its harvest of stars Out of the torpor of mangroves The immobility of powerless statues My country rose at once With a single breath of forbidden tornado With a single wave of ripening memory
— Ernest Pépin, from “This is My Country Rising,” Resistencia, eds. Mark Eisner & Tina Escaja, tr. Hélène Cardona
from “Voilà mon pays qui se lève”
En marche vers la tendresse des lendemains En révolte contre les profitations Entre colère et amour Ouvrant ses racines comme une main nouvelle Réconcilié avec son cri Et sa récolte d’étoiles Sorti de la torpeur des mangroves De l’immobilité des statues impuissantes Mon pays s’est levé d’un seul coup D’un seul souffle de tornade interdite D’une seule houle de mémoire murissante

Je suis cet homme inconsolé de t’avoir tant aimée Qui croyait être né pour être ton héros Cet homme à bout de souffle A force d’avoir couru après tes étoiles Qui croyait que la nuit se couvrait de ta peau Je suis cet homme inconsolé de t’avoir tant aimée Qui croyait que l’enfance ressemblait à tes seins Cet homme à bout de soif A force d’avoir creusé l’ambre de tes yeux Qui croyait être né pour être ton sorcier Je suis cet homme Feu de joie Feu de paille Qui croyait que les flammes chantaient l’éternité Je suis cet homme qui refusait le temps Ce rendez-vous donné au miracle du toujours Cette pierre au fond de ta rivière Sur laquelle passe l’eau comme une fête d’amour Je suis cet homme inconsolé de t’avoir tant aimée Ce muet que personne n’entend Et qui crie ton nom comme une immense prière Dans un immense désert Brûlé de rêves immenses auxquels personne ne croit Je suis cet homme perdu dans tes pensées Et qui cherche La clé Le sésame La formule magique Du conte que nous avions inventé tous les deux Je suis cet homme - Ernest Pépin

A tutti gli indignati della terra! (Ernest Pépin n. a Lamentin, Guadalupa il 25/9/1950) Siamo gli indignati Gli uomini e le donne della trance Le reni contratte Le mani aperte Camminiamo sulle nuvole inquiete Siamo le pietre ferite di un mondo smarrito I martoriati dalla Borsa I nostri occhi sono arance amare Di vendemmie mai state Conduciamo i nostri pensieri nel mondo ferito Siamo gli indignati Braci inestinguibili E quando soffia il vento La libertà c’infiamma gli occhi Siamo gli indignati I clandestini Ammassi di vita in sospeso Quelli a cui il mondo ha dato la condizionale Siamo la fumata che dice di no I popoli depredati e le donne violate Il grido che scavalca le menzogne Abbiamo eletto domicilio in strada Perché solo la strada ascolta Ci sono silenzi che danno il disgusto Solitudini nate morte Pianeti assassinati E sotto le palpebre il sogno procreatore Siamo gli indignati Aggrappati alla tempesta Intanati alla luce del giorno Abbracciamo gli uccelli Scaviamo nidi Degli indomani al fresco in cisterne prosciugate Tracce di scintille Costruiamo Ponti di erba matta Palmizi saldati al cielo Noi impastiamo un altro sole Non sciupate le nostre preghiere Anche le nostre ceneri rinascono ogni secolo Avanziamo come la linfa Goccia a goccia verso l’alba Avanziamo come il mare Onda dopo onda Ma adoriamo la preghiera del vulcano Sappiamo che la terra gira in attesa di giustizia Sappiamo che i poeti hanno già seminato le parole Vogliamo un mondo azzurro L’azzurro assoluto di uomini e donne Siamo gli indignati Gli orologiai dell’arcobaleno Scriviamo sulle righe della vita Veneriamo la vita e affermiamo che è possibile Che la luce partorisca la luce E volteggi in tutti i colori del mondo Magma del mondo Carne del mondo Ci ricordiamo della promessa delle stelle prima della caduta Battito del mondo Siamo qui Siamo gli indignati E piantati in mezzo alla piazza aspettiamo la cerimonia delle collere Con la bassa marea la terra è un’isola Un giardino contagioso che sta sulla mano Gli alberi possono danzarci a volontà Aprire i loro ombrelloni Gli uccelli firmare nuovi contratti Gli uomini prendere posto e spiccare il volo Al tempo si rompono le acque Raggiunge l’attimo prima del giorno Getta nel mondo vapori di torrente Parole elevate dall’incendio nomade Scintilla del mondo Ignoriamo l’ombra sorda che arrugginisce Gli scali dove la paura fa rifornimento L’osteria dove i filibustieri giocano col diavolo Il mondo vira da una sponda all’altra Il mondo spia in attesa di una radura d’isola Un forse Una carezza mattutina sui grappoli di rugiada Un occhio che aspira i cicloni Vortice Vortice di lucciole che aspergono la valanga delle notti Vortice solidale Siamo gli indignati Siamo il valore aggiunto al mondo

In Colonial times and in the early days of independence, women... voted – in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. But by 1807, all four of those states had rescinded that right. The issue lay dormant until a women’s suffrage movement emerged from the anti-slavery movement, most notably in July 1848, when... Elizabeth Cady Stanton proposed equal suffrage at the first Women’s Rights Convention.
[1920]

And now Jacob would leave Laban – but not with much. By another sly deception, he separates the good cattle from the scrubs and steals away in the night. Jacob was a thief and his wife was no better. She stole her father’s gods, or images, and carried them away to another land. And when Laban, in his effort to recover them, caught up with her, she ‘put them in the camels’ furniture and sat on them. And Laban searched all the tent but found them not’ (31:34). No wonder the young Joseph made good in Egypt; with such a parentage, how could he fail? [...] And now we find that Jacob is a coward also. On learning that Esau is coming against him, he divides his flock and also his family and servants. The latter, he puts in front as a shield, his wives and children next, while he stays behind to pray for safety. And this is the man whom God chose to father his ‘chosen people’. Not in all pagan mythology can you find so despicable a character; only Joshua’s God outdoes him.

When Fitz got back to the United States in 1927 he spent some time traveling about the country and then settled down at Edgemoor, Delaware... on the Delaware river... I never visited there, for soon after... I began to hear that both were drinking excessively, and that the place was a madhouse. Even Ernest Boyd, himself one of the heaviest drinkers of modern times, came back from a visit with the report that the place was too hot for him. Zelda was the worst housekeeper ever heard of, and as a result all the household arrangements were in chaos. To summon the maid at meals she affixed an old Ford horn to the edge of the dinner-table, and frequently gave it a squeeze. Once Joseph Hergesheimer, who lived at West Chester... invited the two to spend a weekend there. What happened at the party he never told me precisely, but I gathered from him that Fitz got violently drunk, made a great deal of uproar, and went about the house naked, or nearly so.
[H.L. Mencken]

‘Where does one start when discussing salvias?... Well, sir, ‘all salvias have four-sided stems, opposite leaves, and a whorled arrangement of flowers. Most have a “sagey” smell, some more so than others... and by the ease with which the corolla is pulled away from the calyx. Try it, you will see’...
Canadian burnet | Sanguisorba canadensis They prefer bog life, but will sigh and bravely try to survive in your non-bog garden... zones 2-6... full sun... cold-stratify seeds in your cold frame over the winter; softwood cuttings with at least 2 nodes in early summer...
lizard’s tail | Saururus cernuus Can be planted in waterways without ‘guilt’... the foliage is far from ugly, and the spikes interesting in that they lack petals and sepals; the long stamens provide the beauty and the fragrance... ‘well, I’m hooked’... plant them in a pond or a bog, or do not plant them... they are rhizomatous... zones 3-8... will colonize your local wet area in a nice way... stratify seeds, then plant in a warm situation; divide rhizomes in spring...

As the internet continues to limp toward better security, sites have increasingly embraced HTTPS encryption. You’ve seen it around, including here on WIRED; it’s that little green padlock in the upper lefthand corner, and it keeps outside eyes from snooping on the details of your time online. Today, the biggest porn site on the planet announced that it’s joining those secured ranks. Pornhub’s locking it down, and that’s a bigger deal than you’d think. On April 4, both Pornhub and its sister site, YouPorn, will turn on HTTPS by default across the entirety of both sites. By doing so, they’ll make not just adult online entertainment more secure, but a sizable chunk of the internet itself.

Scènes des Antilles antan lontan - Ernest Pépin - 2019
Scènes des Antilles antan lontan – Ernest Pépin – 2019
Quatrième de couverture
« L’antan est une notion vague. Il évoque un passé enfoui sous les plis du temps. Il suscite un regard nostalgique sur ce qui fut et qui désormais nous regarde de loin pour nous rappeler que nous sommes toujours les héritiers d’un avant. Des ombres vivantes palpitent et réclament de nous la compassion et la solidarité que l’on doit aux aînés. Ce sont les scènes d’antan !…

Quote
De nuit, un pêcheur m’a jeté au large de Trois-Rivières dans une mer chiffonnée. Grâce à dieu, j’ai pu nager. Une camionnette attendait. Elle devait nous conduire à Petit-Bourg. Surchargée, roulant tous feux éteints, elle a percuté une autre voiture. Il y a eu des blessés et des morts. Je me suis enfui dans les bois et j’ai marché jusqu’à Pointe-à-Pitre…
