Book Of Genesis - From The Latin Vulgate - Chapter 12

INTRODUCTION.

The Hebrews now entitle all the Five Books of Moses, from the initial words, which originally were written like one continued word or verse; but the Sept. have preferred to give the titles the most memorable occurrences of each work. On this occasion, the Creation of all things out of nothing, strikes us with peculiar force. We find a refutation of all the heathenish mythology, and of the world's eternity, which Aristotle endeavoured to establish. We behold the short reign of innocence, and the origin of sin and misery, the dispersion of nations, and the providence of God watching over his chosen people, till the death of Joseph, about the year 2369 (Usher) 2399 (Sal. and Tirin) B.C. 1631. We shall witness the same care in the other Books of Scripture, and adore his wisdom and goodness in preserving to himself faithful witnesses, and a true Holy Catholic Church, in all ages, even when the greatest corruption seemed to overspread the land. H.

--------------------------------

This Book is so called from its treating of the Generation, that is, of the Creation and the beginning of the world. The Hebrews call it Bereshith, from the word with which it begins. It contains not only the History of the Creation of the World, but also an account of its progress during the space of 2369 years, that is, until the death of Joseph.

Chapter 12

The call of Abram, and the promise made to him. He sojourneth in Chanaan, and then by occasion of a famine, goeth down to Egypt.

[1] And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. Dixit autem Dominus ad Abram : Egredere de terra tua, et de cognatione tua, et de domo patris tui, et veni in terram quam monstrabo tibi.

[2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. Faciamque te in gentem magnam, et benedicam tibi, et magnificabo nomen tuum, erisque benedictus.

[3] I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed: Benedicam benedicentibus tibi, et maledicam maledicentibus tibi, atque in te benedicentur universae cognationes terrae.

[4] So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from Haran. Egressus est itaque Abram sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, et ivit cum eo Lot : septuaginta quinque annorum erat Abram cum egrederetur de Haran.

[5] And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it, Tulitque Sarai uxorem suam, et Lot filium fratris sui, universamque substantiam quam possederant, et animas quas fecerant in Haran : et egressi sunt ut irent in terram Chanaan. Cumque venissent in eam,

[6] Abram passed through the country into the place of Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the land. pertransivit Abram terram usque ad locum Sichem, usque ad convallem illustrem : Chananaeus autem tunc erat in terra.

[7] And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Apparuit autem Dominus Abram, et dixit ei : Semini tuo dabo terram hanc. Qui aedificavit ibi altare Domino, qui apparuerat ei.

[8] And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon his name. Et inde transgrediens ad montem, qui erat contra orientem Bethel, tetendit ibi tabernaculum suum, ab occidente habens Bethel, et ab oriente Hai : aedificavit quoque ibi altare Domino, et invocavit nomen ejus.

[9] And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to the south. Perrexitque Abram vadens, et ultra progrediens ad meridiem.

[10] And there came a famine in the country; and Abram went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the land. Facta est autem fames in terra : descenditque Abram in Aegyptum, ut peregrinaretur ibi : praevaluerat enim fames in terra.

[11] And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman: Cumque prope esset ut ingrederetur Aegyptum, dixit Sarai uxori suae : Novi quod pulchra sis mulier :

[12] And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee. et quod cum viderint te Aegyptii, dicturi sunt : Uxor ipsius est : et interficient me, et te reservabunt.

[13] Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake. Dic ergo, obsecro te, quod soror mea sis : ut bene sit mihi propter te, et vivat anima mea ob gratiam tui.

[14] And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful. Cum itaque ingressus esset Abram Aegyptum, viderunt Aegyptii mulierem quod esset pulchra nimis.

[15] And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao. Et nuntiaverunt principes Pharaoni, et laudaverunt eam apud illum : et sublata est mulier in domum Pharaonis.

[16] And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and men servants and maid servants, and she asses, and camels. Abram vero bene usi sunt propter illam : fueruntque ei oves et boves et asini, et servi et famulae, et asinae et cameli.

[17] But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife. Flagellavit autem Dominus Pharaonem plagis maximis, et domum ejus, propter Sarai uxorem Abram.

[18] And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? Vocavitque Pharao Abram, et dixit ei : Quidnam est hoc quod fecisti mihi? quare non indicasti quod uxor tua esset?

[19] For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way. quam ob causam dixisti esse sororem tuam, ut tollerem eam mihi in uxorem? Nunc igitur ecce conjux tua, accipe eam, et vade.

[20] And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had. Praecepitque Pharao super Abram viris : et deduxerunt eum, et uxorem illius, et omnia quae habebat.

Commentary:

Ver. 1. Said: not after his father's death, but before he left Ur; (M.) unless, perhaps, Abram received a second admonition at Haran, which, from his dwelling there with his father, &c., is styled his country. He leaves his kindred, Nachor and his other relations, except Sarai and Lot, who go with him unto Chanaan; and even his own house, or many of his domestics and effects, and full of faith, goes in quest of an unknown habitation. Heb. xi. 8. H. --- S. Stephen clearly distinguishes these two calls of Abram. From the second, the 430 years of sojournment, mentioned Gal. 3. Ex. 12, must be dated. C. --- This is the third grand epoch of the world, about 2083, when God chooses one family to maintain the one faith, which he had all along supported. See W. &c.

Ver. 3. In thee, &c. or in the Messias, who will be one of thy descendants, and the source of all the blessings to be conferred on any of the human race. Gal. iii. 16. Many of the foregoing promises regarded a future world, and Abram was by no means incredulous, when he found himself afflicted here below, as if God had forgot his promises. C. --- He was truly blessed, in knowing how to live poor in spirit, even amid riches and honours; faithful in all tribulations and trials; following God in all things. v. 1.

Ver. 5. Gotten, (fecerant): made or acquired, either by birth or purchase, &c. M.

Ver. 6. Sichem. At the foot of M. Garizim, where Abram offered his first sacrifice in the land. Deut. xi. 30. Ken. --- Noble; on account of the many tall and shady oaks, whence the Sept. have the high oak. Heb. Elon more, the plain of Moreh, or of ostension, because God shewed Abram from this place, situated about the middle of the promised land, what countries he would give to him in his posterity, after having exterminated the Chanaanites, who then occupied the land as their own. The mentioning of these idolatrous nations here, gives us reason to admire the faith and constancy of Abram, who neither doubted of the fulfilling of this promise, nor hesitated to adore the true God publicly. v. 7. Hence there is no reason for accounting this an interpolation. H.

Ver. 8. Bethel, as it was called in the days of Moses, being the ancient Luza. C. 28. On the west, Hebrew, towards the sea or Mediterranean, which lay west of Palestine. Bethel signifies the house of God, being honoured with two altars. H.

Ver. 9. Proceeding to the south, Heb.: means also the desert, as the Sept. generally translate negeb: other interpreters agree with the Vulgate. C.

Ver. 10. Down into Egypt, which lies lower than Judea: here the famine did not rage. God would not allow him to go back to his friends. M.

Ver. 11. Beautiful: having yet had no children, though she must have been 65 years old. Abram acts with prudence, and does not tempt God: if he had made known that the woman was his wife, he would have exposed his life to imminent danger, amid a cruel and lascivious people; and being convinced of the chastity of Sarai, he did not, in the least, apprehend that she would consent to any violation of her conjugal engagements. He did not, therefore, expose her virtue as the Manichees pretended. S. Aug. c. Faust. xxii. 33. de C. D. xvi. 19. Ha. C. --- The event proved the justice of Abram's suspicions, and God's interference shewed that he was not displeased with his concealing part of the truth. Who can be so simple as to suppose, that we are bound to explain all our concerns to a foe? Do not we every day act with the like caution as Abram did, when we have reason to fear danger? Do not we wish, when fleeing from an enemy's country, that he should conclude we were taking a walk of pleasure? H.

Ver. 13. My sister. This was no lie; because she was his niece, being daughter to his brother Aran, and therefore, in the style of the Hebrews, she might truly be called his sister; as Lot is called Abraham's brother. Gen. xiv. 14. See Gen. xx. 12. Ch. --- Others say, Sarai was the half-sister of Abraham, by another mother. H.

Ver. 15. Pharao: The usual title of the kings of Egypt, in Ezechiel's time. C. 32. 2. Couriers are often too ready to flatter the passions of the prince: these are punished along with Pharao (v. 17); whence we may conclude, that they concurred with him, to take Sarai against her will.

Ver. 16. Well. Perhaps they made him some presents to gain his favour; (M.) or, at least, they suffered him to remain quietly among them.

Ver. 17. Scourged Pharao with unusual pains, sterility, &c. that he might easily perceive that his taking Sarai was displeasing to God. H. --- He did not intend to commit adultery indeed, but his conduct was tyrannical and oppressive to the stranger, whom God protects. Ps. 44. M.

Ver. 20. Led him away: perhaps without allowing him time to vindicate his conduct, and with a degree of contumely, to shew the king's displeasure; who durst not, however, injure Abraham in his effects, nor suffer any of his subjects to hurt him. The holy patriarch received his wife untouched, and departed with joy. H.

Earth

Earth is frequently called "Terra" in Heinlein stories. The planet is featured in every story (with the arguable exception of Orphans of the Sky); and is, geophysically at least, the same as the "real" Earth. Between Planets, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, and Red Planet describe the struggles of the human colonies in the Solar System to achieve political independence from Earth; Podkayne of Mars refers indirectly to this history.

earthworm

Lunarites' derogatory (and usual) term for Earth residents.

Lunaya Pravda

Luna City newspaper.

Marriage/ line marriage

In Luna, polygamous and particularly polyandrous customs evolved in Luna City because of the drastic shortage of women. Simple polyandry was common, but clan marriages and line marriages are also mentioned. Line marriages are when Spouses are opted in at fairly regular intervals (usually alternating sexes), so that the marriage/family never comes to an end. The arrangement is intended more to provide emotional and economic security for the children than sexual partners for the adults. Younger spouses are almost more "adopted" than married. Children marry outside the line marriage.

Mars

Usually described as barren and cold with a thin atmosphere, just barely habitable by humans in pressurized habitats or after terraforming. The "canals" are real waterways (usually frozen). The planet has native life, variously described in different books. Though some of the books depict conflicts between human colonists and native Martians, none portray the natives as resentful of the invasion of their home; often, the Martians remains largely oblivious to the human presence. In The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, Mars is an almost airless desert.

Coach Quagliozzi butta nella mischia il giovane Volpara al posto dell indisponibile Repetto jr, mentre Guido viene schierato a referto ma di fatto ancora in fase di convalescenza. I milanesi sono una formazione giovane e ricca di talento, mentre i novesi devono far fronte ad una serie di problemi fisici facendo valere la loro superiore esperienza. Il primo e terzo set sono quasi in fotocopia, si gioca punto a punto ma la spuntano Moro e compagni, bravi a gestire i momenti topici dei set chiudendo ai vantaggi, nel secondo parziale invece i lombardi allungano da subito approfittando di un blackout iniziale dei padroni di casa. Nella quarta frazione invece domina sempre l'equilibrio, ma sono gli ospiti a ad allungare sul finale. Nel tie break invece i nostri giocano con maggiore attenzione e mettono a terra qualche contrattacco in più, che permette di chiudere con relativa tranquillità sul 15-11.

“Sister Novis,” Lelia whispered, so softly that Novis, who had just returned from a rock climbing expedition and was struggling to put away her gear on a high shelf, almost didn’t hear her.

“Oh, sweetie, I didn’t expect to see you here, I thought your mother kept you busy with the preparations for the ceremony, your input is very important, you know!” the sister said, cheerfully.

“Not as much as you think. Bonding ceremonies are very prescriptive, other than the actual clouds involved, there isn’t much that can be changed,” Lelia replied.

“How can I help you, dear?” sister Novis asked, a little puzzled that Lelia had sought her out, since she didn’t know the child-cloud very well.

Lelia straddled one of the kitchen chairs, searching for words. She gulped, looked down, and said nothing. Novis didn’t push, she put a kettle on and went to the cupboard to get tea cups.

“Have you ever been afraid?” Lelia asked, in a tiny voice that sounded like fear itself.

“Of course I was! A million times! Who has lived and never been afraid! Is there something wrong? Someone bothering you?” the sister looked at Lelia, worried. The girl shook her head.

“No, nothing of the sort. There isn’t anything in particular, is just…” she stopped.

“Just what, dear?” Novis asked.

“Well, it is the ceremony,” Lelia started again.

“Oh, you’ve got stage fright, it’s perfectly normal,” Novis said, relieved.

“It’s not stage fright, that’s just it, I don’t exactly know what I’m afraid of, I just can’t picture what life will be like once I join the Simplex Cloud, I know it’s silly, especially since Ael had already been there and can’t stop talking about it. Do you know how intimidating it is for a cloud to have a sibling prodigy who is much younger and already joined the Simplex? What if I can’t get used to it? I don’t even know what “it” is supposed to be? What if I hate it? I’ll be there forever, you know? And everybody else seems so at ease with being fused with hundreds of other clouds. I am so afraid!”

Sister Novis sighed, then took the kettle from the stove and filled the cups.

“You are venturing into the unknown. The unknown scares us all, young and old, but it is also the most precious gift we get from life, our chance to grow and change. What would we look forward to if we already knew everything the future holds?” sister Novis said.

“I feel so silly, Ael tells me all these stories about the Simplex, and what she’s doing there, and dad spends all of his time there, but he’s also here, see? How am I going to get used to something like that?” Lelia asked.

“You are a cloud, yours is an inherited memory, I’m sure you’ll know what to do,” sister Novis appeased her.

“What if I don’t? I’m only half cloud, what if the human half can’t adjust?” Lelia said.

“Ael seems to be perfectly fine,” Novis replied.

“That’s why I feel silly even talking about it,” Lelia lowered her gaze.

“The unknown is a challenge for all of us, you can’t always be sure when you open a door what you’re going to discover behind it, but if you don’t open it, you will always be controlled by your fear. It’s OK to be unsure, or afraid, and it’s OK to make mistakes, too,” sister Novis answered. “And it’s OK to not be able to explain what you’re afraid of.”

“I was worried that you’d laugh at me,” Lelia said.

“Believe me, child, I would be the last person in the world to laugh at someone for being afraid,” sister Novis said. “You know that recommendation, do the thing you’re afraid of, and the death of fear is certain? In my experience I found this advice to work a lot better in theory than it does in practice.”

“What do you do, then?” Lelia asked.

Sister Novis paused, unsure if she should continue, she didn’t want to upset Lelia even more, but the girl was looking at her, with large eyes insisting on an answer, so she continued.

“You learn to live with it,” she said.

“Live with what?” Lelia asked.

“Fear, uncertainty, doubt, you just learn to incorporate them into your life. After you stop fighting uncertainty you get to see past it, and notice many doors open where you thought was just one. You think of your Bonding Ceremony as a sequence of events when in fact it is an expansion of possibility, like acquiring an extra sense, or being able to fly. You don’t know what to do with an extra sense, but you have a lifetime to explore its potential.”

“How do you know all this?” Lelia asked, doubtful.

“Because I stood in front of my own doors, wondering whether I should open them, baby.”

“Did you ever wish you didn’t?” Lelia asked.

“Statistically speaking, you are always better off opening a door than not opening it. Of course, statistics rely on the law or large numbers, so, the fewer the instances, the less predictable your outcome is. That’s why you need to move past mistakes quickly, you learn something from every experience anyway.”

“But…” Lelia hesitated, “that feeling of uncertainty, I never want to feel like that again, it is sheer agony!”

“Yes, it is.”

“You are saying I have to enjoy feeling this way?” Lelia asked, whimpering.

“I didn’t say you had to like it. Nobody likes it. I just said get used to it and don’t let it affect the decisions you make. If you make a decision while you set your fear aside, the decision may be right or wrong, but if you make it based on your desire to escape your fear, the decision will always be wrong.”

“Why can’t I just stay away from the things that make me uncomfortable?” Lelia asked.

“There is no place in the universe where you can be safe from your fears. Wherever you run, they will find you, it is like trying to outrun your own shadow, and just as life wasting.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to just not be afraid of anything?” Lelia asked.

“Everybody is afraid of something, dear, and that which you are afraid of will torment you until you look it square in the eye and stop running from it.”

“What are you afraid of?” Lelia asked.

Sister Novis paused and frowned, searching for a good example of her fears. It wasn’t easy, but she finally found it.

“Hell.”

Elemental 6. maja u Domu omladine

Nakon fenomenalnog premijernog solo nastupa u regiji, irska kantautorka Lisa Hanigan (Lisa Hannigan) se u sklopu evropske turneje u okviru koje promoviše prošlogodišnji album „At Swim“ vraća u Srbiju, ovoga puta sa bendom gde će 28. marta nastupiti u Domu omladine Beograda (Velika sala) i dan kasnije u klubu Firchie Think Tank Studio (Velika sala) u Novom Sadu sa početkom u 21h. Ulaznice se mogu kupiti od petka, 10. februara (od 10 časova), za beogradski koncert po promotivnoj ceni od 1200 (parter, ograničen kontigent!) i 1500 dinara (balkon) na prodajnim mestima Eventim-a, Gigstix-a, DD Tickets-a, kao i u Felix Shopu (TC Sremska, II sprat, radno vreme: 12 - 20h). Kada se rasprodaju promotivne ulaznice, regularna pretprodajna cena do dana koncerta iznosiće 1500 (parter) i 1800 dinara (balkon), a na sam dan za ulaznicu je potrebno izdvojiti 1800 dinara. Aktuelni singl „Undertow“ se nalazi na albumu „At Swim“, koji je do sada primio mnoštvo pozitivnih kritika. Producent albuma je Aronom Desnerom (Aaron Dessner). Album je zauzeo 24. mesto na top listi UK Charts, što je ujedno i najviši rang Lise Hannigan u Britaniji. Album At Swim je nominovan i za nagradu Irish Choice Music Prize za 2017. godinu. Nakon dvogodišnje turneje na kojoj je promovisala svoj prethodni album „Passanger“ Lisa Hanigan je započela rad na svom novom albumu „At Swim“. Kao prekretnica u radu, svakako je poziv od Arona Desnera iz benda The National i producenta Dark Was the Night. Radeći sa Desnerom i spoznajući novi duh koji je doneo život u Londonu, Lisa Hannigan je stvorila album „At Swim“ koji se delom tiče nostalgije za domom i Dablinom, ali i jubavi. Treći album „At Swim“ od samog početka i pesme „Fall“ donosi potpuno drugačiji akustični zvuk. Sa svakom novom pesmom putujemo sve dublje u magični prostor gde se gube granice između ljubavi i smrti, prošlosti i sadašnjosti, tuge i sreće. Daleko od Dablina i svoje kuće, Lisa Hanigan je album stvarala u Londonu. Udajena od sigurnog mesta, Lisa kaže da se osećala izgubljeno i uplašeno, a njeno stanje je uticalo na nove pesme koje su bile u procesu nastanka. Album su obeležile pesme poput balade „Ora“, zatim „A Prayer for the Dying“ ili „Snow“ koju je napisala zajedno sa Aronom Desnerom. Pesme koje sadrže čudne melodije pomešane sa violinom i akustičnim zvukom gitare, kao i tekstovima koji su inspirisani ličnim iskustvom, ili iskustvom bližnjih, su upravo ono što nam Lisa daje na novom albumu. Na ovom albumu Lisa je želela da pokaže više. Pesme koje je napisala su direktne, prirodne i toliko savršene da zajedno grade jednu celovitu priču, poznatiju kao „At Swim“. Ova mlada kantautorka prvobitno dospeva u žižu javnosti 2001. godine, i to kao ženski vokal uz Demijena Rajsa na njegovim najprodavanijim albumima „O“ i „9“. Svoju solo karijeru započinje 2007. godine, od kada je objavila dva studijska albuma „Sea Saw“ (2008), „Passanger“ (2011) i aktuelni „At Swim“ (2016). Sarađivala je sa mnogim poznatim muzičarima, od Reja Lamontanja do Herbija Henkoka, i osvojila je mnoge muzičke nagrade i nominacije, kako u Irskoj, tako i u Americi. Lisa pleni svojim šarmom, a njen snažni vokal ostavlja bez daha. http://www.lisahannigan.ie https://www.facebook.com/lisahannigan https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNORKXVBYvONsojiPmS_tKQ https://www.instagram.com/lisahannigan/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/0z7Yuv7DuDQ5SaVn4VSlLt

Lisa Hannigan // Dom omladine Beograda // 28/03/2017

Posle 30 godina, Beograd će imati čast da ponovo ugosti verovatno najznačajniji i najuticajniji avangardni bend na planeti - SWANS, na svojoj poslednjoj turneji u ovom obličiju. Kako uopšte predstaviti Swans? Kako predstaviti onoga koji drži uzde ove prelepe životinje groznog temperamenta? Michael Gira (Majkl Džirâ) je muzički alhemičar: od nadljudske buke stvara melodiju; od teskobne tame stvara čoveka koji sja. Već 35 godina, neumorno. Od rastrojeno prljavog, besnog, tutnjajućeg i izrazito telesnog početka ranih osamdesetih, preko rafiniranijeg, svetlijeg, eteričnog srednjeg perioda, iz albuma u album Swans su pomerali granice muzike i praktično stvarali čitave nove žanrove. Svaki naredni korak bio je neočekivano otkrivena terra incognita, a onda, iznenada, samo godinu dana posle izdavanja klasika „Soundtracks For The Blind“ - 1997. godina, „Swans Are Dead“! Tek tako. „Pauza“ na kojoj je projekat Swans bio do 2010. godine može se tako nazvati samo uslovno. Pauza bi značila zastajanje, a tvorac ne voli da stoji i nije dangubio. Kroz solo projekte, kroz Angels Of Light i rad sa bendovima na svojoj etiketi Young God Records, manično kreativni Gira je nastavio da osvetljava nepoznato, uznevši tradiciju Dilanovskog njujorškog folka u drugu dimenziju. Svi ovi molekuli itekako su ugrađeni u savremenu Swans inkarnaciju, što je bilo potpuno jasno na povratničkom albumu „My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky“ (2010.), iako će se ubrzo potom novi Swans, katalizovani dugom i intenzivnom povratničkom turnejom, preobraziti u nešto sasvim drugačije... Swans zapravo nikada nisu „umrli“, prestali su da postoje samo formalno. Posle mitarenja su se samo ponovo materijalizovali pred nama, da bi nas utopili u svoju savremenu, najsoničniju do sad životnu formu. Verujem da 1997. godine niko nije pretpostavljao takav epilog. Ni tada, a ni dan danas, nije potpuno jasno kada Michael Gira uništava a kada stvara. Kako stvarajući razara i razarajući stvara. Boravak na maglovitoj granici između kreacije i destrukcije je nešto što je oduvek fasciniralo Giru i sa čim se od početka poigrava, kako muzički, tako i tekstualno. I to ni u jednom trenutku nije jasnije nego na koncertu. U nekim momentima težina zvuka pritisne vas toliko da mislite da će vam lobanja prsnuti, ili da će se sve urušiti. A onda muzika - da, to jeste muzika - zadobije tok i guta vas, kao lava. Više vas ne može zdrobiti, jer tečete zajedno sa njom, deo ste nje. Iluzija prestaje da postoji. Postoji samo zvuk. Vidljivi budu još jedino oni koji taj zvuk kanališu na bini - Gira, posednut, preznojen, ali u potpunoj kontroli svega što se dešava; drugi veteran Swans-a, Norman Westberg, koji stoji mirno sa haosom u očima, kao da potpuno visceralno, van svesne kontrole gitarom prati ostatak organizma. Neverovatni Chris Pravdica, basista i najčešći Girin muzički „sparing partner“ na bini, intenzitet nastupa ponekad je plaćao krvavim palcem. Staloženi i mračni Christoph Hahn boji finese. Phil Puelo čini kao da olujni vetar u njegovo ime kontroliše impresivni set bubnjeva, a ne on sam. Poslednja tri albuma Swans - već legendarni „The Seer“ (2012), „To Be Kind“ (2014) i finalno poglavlje – „The Glowing Man“ (2016), svi su su se začinjali i rasli uživo na koncertima tokom poslednjih 6 godina. Zato su albumi trostruki, a pesme dugačke po petnaest, dvadeset minuta. Možda bi bilo bolje nazvati ih komadima; Gira kaže da ne voli da ograničava muziku na format pesme. Uživo, one predstavljaju samo okvirne smernice - pri svakom nastupu razvijaju se u potpuno unikatnu izvedbu. „Puštam muziku da ide gde želi da ide, a kada osetim da je došla do kraja, prestajem“. Razumeti i tumačiti fenomen Swans-a i Girinog dela praktično je nemoguće bez uvida u evoluciju uživo. Čini se da su za tri i po decenije Swans prešli put od dokumentovanja zvuka napaćene, pohlepne utrobe čoveka, do detaljne deskripcije primordijalnog zvuka utrobe Zemlje, mlade, uskomešane i surove. Pritisak, vrelina, kolizije, drobljenje, sitnjenje, stapanje, kakofonija, buka, buka... Svetlost. From f***ing destruction. Novi svet. U avgustu 2016. godine na sajtu YGR pojavilo se zvanično saopštenje - let Swans-a u ovoj formaciji bliži se kraju. „The Glowing Man“ je njen poslednji album, vodič koji nas vodi do kraja i kroz naizgled neprobojni zid zvuka izvodi... Gde? Turneja 2016/2017 poslednja je prilika da to pokušate sami da odgonetnete, to i samu suštinu Swansa. Da se izložite oluji, budete uništeni i stvoreni. Gošća na koncertu biće Little Annie, talentovana i svestrana njujorška kantautorka, dugogodišnja saradnica Swans.

buncha oc things !!! from my ancient passion worldbuilding project. its a collab with my bestie @sawtheyellowsign ! shoutout

details for my fellers under the readmore (long and rambly warning because i am so normal)

the guy with red hair in mostly green is my main guy! his name is haidan (no last name bc. i dont know yet) i guess you could say he's the protagonist, but there's not really a set story so he's just kind of the one i've thought the most about lmao. he's something like a beastkin... human with animal features! in his case he's mammalian, specifically a squirrel or pine marten. he's got magic too, which is a bit rare for where he's from, and his especially is explosive and hot, which does not mix well with his temper. his main struggle is controlling it, which he is not good at doing, even with guidance from his mentor- who teaches him bad coping mechanisms and makes him worse. fun

shveknja or nja (pronounced NEEa or nya) is one of haidan's closest friends! she's the one in the first two pictures. she's known him since he was seven and moved to her village to escape the war. her family is from the north, but she was born in a southern village and has lived there all her life. she has the reputation of the crazy bird lady because of her love for avian things, especially the mistrusted species of vulture known to be wards of a particularly dangerous spirit/goddess. she befriended one and named it rhannik. i love her a lot!! shes pookie

last but not least we have mirko, the fur-collar-coat guy. hes pretty terrible.. and yet. he's also from the north, born and raised, and came down to fight in the war. he has a past of warfare knowledge and did a lot of hijacking shipping lines and ambushing infantry groups. he met haidan and saw a lot of potential in his residual anger and explosiveness (literally) and offered to teach him what he already knew from experience. essentially, he brought strategy and calculated fighting to someone who was throwing himself into fighting with no direction other than anger. this helped and hurt on many different levels! 

the world itself is a complicated one, but for minor context/vibes it’s in a sort of medieval-smashed-with-steampunk era on a not-earth set of continents. the year is somewhere in the 500s last i checked. i might go into it more in some other post but this is mostly about my main 3 characters!! thank you for reading<3
