Metà della vita (per Hölderlin) Photo Gallery by Adalberto Tiburzi at pbase.com

Metà della vita (per Hölderlin)

Con pere dorate
e folto di rose selvagge
si piega il paese nel lago;
e voi cigni beati
ed ebbri di baci
tuffate il capo
nell’acqua limpida e sacra.
.
Ma quando viene l’inverno,
dove trovo i fiori e dove
la luce del sole
e l’ombra della terra?
I muri stanno silenziosi e freddi
nel vento stridono le banderuole.

"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." ~ Henry David Thoreau...http://transcendentalism-legacy.tamu.edu/authors/thoreau/

Lyrical series.....and as I gaze, slowly going from one image to the next, I hear Satie in the background...what a beautiful series this is, masterfully shot and curated here.

"Yellow pears" indeed...what an expressive presentation of beautifully composed images this is. Your heart and soul painted this vision, I'm sure of it. v.

Belle foto. Sono dense di nostalgia; intriganti con i loro colori così diversi dalla realtà ma con una loro realtà così netta. Struggenti, perfino, come una conversazione tra persone che cercano di conversare. In riva ad un lago, perfino. Magari a Trevignano.

I haven't heard Britten's music. But this Holderlin's poem seemed to fit:

The Middle of Life

With yellow pears the land
And full of wild roses
Hangs down into the lake,
You lovely swans,
And drunk with kisses
You dip your heads
Into the hallowed,
the sober water.

But oh, where shall I find
When winter comes,
the flowers, and where
The sunshine
And shade of the earth?
The walls loom
Speechless and cold,
in the wind weathervanes clatter.

----it's seasonal, as well!

Such wonderful color yet so dark, what mood and atmosphere you've captured. V

J'ai essayé de revoter, cela m'a été refusé. Tant pis. Mais peu importe, ce lac n'en a pas besoin, sa beauté suffit. Comme quoi le pire des enfers, quelques millions d'années (et de pixels) après, peu donner une merveille!
