Inspiration Inspiration Sit down she said, pen me a few lines, tell me of life, love, hopes and dreams. write to me of much happier times When love ruled your heart, and life it seemed Was full of possibilities, plans and endless schemes. I took up the challenge, and began to write, Of life, of love and hopes and dreams, Words flowed like rivers, as I wrote them down, Thinking all the while of the lady I'd found To inspire my thoughts, and urge me on, To make something beautiful, maybe a song. Into the small hours, I toiled away, writing down lines, throwing them away. 'Twas then that I realised, that the happier times That she spoke of and wanted, were not of that time. For the happier times were not from long ago, But were here with me now, and now I know, That 'twas the love for this lady, that made my words flow, And to write something beautiful, for her, her alone. I wrote of life, and my living with her, Of love, her in my arms forever more, Of hopes, a future for us so bright,...

LNLassi Nummi
Lassi Nummi (born 1928) considers himself a prose-writer who has strayed into poetry. In a career spanning almost half a century and 25 collections of poetry, his preoccupations, and his central metaphors, have remained constant: landscape, trees, bushes, blades of grass. Interview by Tarja Roinila; poems translated by Herbert Lomas and Anselm Hollo 'During my "social period" I was on the board of the Writers' Union, and its chairman from 1969 to 1972; after that I worked for the Uusi Suomi newspaper and for the PEN Club, whose chairman I was from 1983 to 1988. I was a member of the Bible translation committee for the entire period of its existence, 17 years. A completely different choice would have been to become either a Buddhist or a Christian monk, or then to be a really convinced down-and-out- that might have been the most elegant solution. One could have regulated one's liquid intake, but the freedom of movement would have been pleasant. At the moment I am working out how much...

AHAldous Leonard Huxley
[[en]] Aldous Leonard Huxley was born on July 26, 1894, into a family that included some of the most distinguished members of that part of the English ruling class made up of the intellectual elite. Aldous' father was the son of Thomas Henry Huxley, a great biologist who helped develop the theory of evolution. His mother was the sister of Mrs. Humphrey Ward, the novelist; the niece of Matthew Arnold, the poet; and the granddaughter of Thomas Arnold, a famous educator and the real-life headmaster of Rugby School who became a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays.Brave New World book cover Undoubtedly, Huxley's heritage and upbringing had an effect on his work. Gerald Heard, a longtime friend, said that Huxley's ancestry "brought down on him a weight of intellectual authority and a momentum of moral obligations." Throughout Brave New World you can see evidence of an ambivalent attitude toward such authority assumed by a ruling class. Like the England of his day, Huxley's Utopia...

Don Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra
It is not known for certain the exact date of his birth, but since according to Spanish tradition the Christening was carried through very closely after the birth, there is no doubt that his birthday was in 1547. The actual date of the Christening was October 9th, 1547 at the city of Alcala de Henares. Since then, little is known of his childhood, other than he lived with his family in Valladolid, Madrid, and other Andalusian cities. Finally, they settled in Madrid, and afterwards, he became the attendant to the Cardinal Acquaviva in Italy in 1569 . Later on, Cervantes enlisted in to armed forces for the naval Battle of Lepanto (it took place on the 7th of December of 1571) where he was injured.

mă plictisesc. într-o zi așa urâtă chiar nu am ce face. melodia se repeta obsesiv. îmi place. mă gândesc la tine și pe ritmul agresiv al lui marylin manson încep sa mă ating. mâna mea coboară lasciv pe tot corpul. îmi imaginez că ești tu, iubire. mintea mi-o ia aiurea și m-i te imaginez la picioarele mele, sărutându-mă cum numai tu știi să o faci. mâinile tale mă ating peste tot, iar buzele tale moi mă alintă. Mâna mea alunecă… „ I don’t care if you don’t want me… ‘ Cause I’m yours, yours, yours anyhow… “ și nu mă interesează nimic. mă gândesc numai la mâinile tale fine, la săruturile fără sfârșit. închid ochii și mă pierd. deodată simt o mână. aș putea să o recunosc oriunde. mă privești curios și mă întrebi ce fac. mă rușinez… nu am mai făcut-o niciodată … - Mi-era dor de tine iubire… când ai venit ? nu spui nimic și îmi faci semn să continui. mi-e greu la început, dar intru în joc. continui să mă mângâi și din când în când îți arunc câte o privire. mă privești și îți umezești...

Demostene Andronescu
Născut la 3 decembrie 1927, în comuna Cîmpuri, județul Vrancea, deci într-o zonă ce constituie un fel de ținut de cumpănă între Moldova și Muntenia, Demostene Andronescu are parcă și ceva din blîndețea molcomă a moldoveanului, dar și ceva din încăpățînarea iscoditoare a munteanului: e un amestec oarecum paradoxal de contemplativism liric (prin care se explică poetul) și de activism neastîmpărat (din care se nutrește luptătorul). Cuminte și necuminte totdeodată, pare să nu se simtă în firea lui decît pe răzoarele inefabile dintre realitate și visare, dintre real și ideal. Prin poezia lui trece adeseori – cu o tristețe mai senină, de dor românesc – umbra lui Don Quijote. Omul însuși are, la rîndu-i, ceva donquijotesc, un amestec îndărătnic și indefinit de „visătorie” și „nebunie”, în sensul nobil (și adesea uitat) al acestor cuvinte. Donquijotismul apare de altfel, în viziunea sa, ca însemn paradigmatic al unei întregi generații: aceea a tînărului...

Down into Earth
de Posogan Horea
