Chaussée - Les Louanges

[chouuchou]

Aujourd'hui je suis très loin de ce matin d'automne

Mais c'est comme si j'y étais

Je pense à toi

Où es tu

Que fais-tu

Est-ce que j'existe encore pour toi

Je regarde cette vague qui n'atteindra jamais la lune

Tu vois, comme elle je reviens en arrière

Comme elle, je me couche sur le sable et j'me souviens

Je me souviens des marées hautes

Du soleil et du bonheur qui passaient sur la mer

Il y a une éternité, un siècle, il y a un an

Joe Dassin- L'été Indien

[imaquotee]

Chante avec moi "Je veux une femme like you,

pour m'emmener au bout du monde" .

Amazing hidden gem!

[angel-lovr]

emmènes-moi à paris

allons y et ne regardons jamais en arrière

paris

nous pouvons être folie comme ça

[eefaevie]

parce qu'on s'est crié des mots qui ont sali tous nos plus beaux dessins, on a hurlé des chaudières d'encre noire sur le bonheur

j'expose ma tête, mes yeux, mon cœur et mes mains

si tu reviens

something quiet, gentle, and romantic for today. I’ve been assured it’s suggestive enough for @goodomensafterdark ‘s smut war, so enjoy this soft interlude with suggestive tummy ❤️

i'm your vulgar darling in the swimming pool glimmering, you say that you're nobody's fool.

i know that, babe.

My favourite thing in Ma Meilleure Ennemie is the seemingly auditory illusion at the beginning of the song where no one can agree on the lyrics. some hear je t'aime, je te hais (I love you, I hate you), je t'aime, je t'attends (I love you, I'll wait for you) or je t'aime, je te quitte (I love you, I'm leaving you) which, it doesn't matter which one it is, they all just Fit timebomb so well. and if this is done on purpose it's fucking GENIUS I tell you.

Sappho Playing the Lyre

Artist: Léopold Burthe (French, 1823–1860)

Date: 1849

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Musée des Beaux-Arts de Carcassonne, Carcassonne, France

Sappho

Called the Tenth Muse by Plato, Sappho was a prolific poet of ancient Greece. She innovated the form of poetry through her first-person narration (instead of writing from the vantage point of the gods) and by refining the lyric meter. The details of Sappho’s life have been obscured by legend and mythology, and the best source of information is the Suidas, a Greek lexicon compiled in the 10th century.

Sappho was born on Lesbos to a noble family. She lived most of her life in the city of Mytilene, with the exception of her family’s brief exile in Sicily shortly after 600 B.C.E. She married a wealthy man in Mytilene, and they had a daughter names Cleis. Sappho also headed a thiasos, or an academy of unmarried women. As was the custom at the time, wealthy families sent their daughters to live at these schools where they were taught proper social graces, composition, singing, and poetry recitation. Much of Sappho’s poetry was composed in this community, and she used many of her students as subjects.

Perhaps Sappho’s most famous work is her “Ode to Aphrodite”:

Deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind, child of Zeus, who twists lures, I beg you do not break with hard pains, O lady, my heart

but come here if ever before you caught my voice far off and listening left your father’s golden house and came,

yoking your car. And fine birds brought you, quick sparrows over the black earth whipping their wings down the sky through midair -

they arrive. But you, O blessed one, smiled in your deathless face and asked what (now again) I have suffered and why (now again) I am calling out

and what I want to happen most of all in my crazy heart. Whom should I persuade (now again) to lead you back into her love? Who, O Sappho, is wronging you?

For if she flees, soon she will pursue. If she refuses gifts, rather will she give them. If she does not love, soon she will love even unwilling.

Come to me now: loose me from hard care and all my heart longs to accomplish, accomplish. You be my ally.

(Carson, If Not, Winter, 2–5)

Wanted to draw @signanothername's versions of Dream and Nightmare who are easily among my favorites. Inspired by this comic Which made me immediatly think of the song "J'ai demandé à la lune" (I've asked the moon) by Indochine The lyrics could be roughly translated as : "I've asked the Moon If you still wanted me around It answered "I'm not used- "-To handle cases like you" (Note that this isn't the literal translation, simply a way you can adapt it to english readers.)

Um, so somehow we ended up with "Ma Meilleure Ennemie" getting so many views that for now its only competitor in this regard is "To Ashes and Blood".
