Août - August

 
Août
Août est le mois le plus chaud.
Tous à la mer, sur la plage !
Les uns construisent des chateaux
les autres font des colliers de coquillages.
C'est le temps des loisirs,
c'est le temps des plaisirs.
Tous à l'eau, il fait beau !
c'est le temps du repos.

Titre : Mois d'août.
Poète : François Coppée (1842-1908)

Par les branches désordonnées
Le coin d'étang est abrité,
Et là poussent en liberté
Campanules et graminées.

Caché par le tronc d'un sapin,
J'y vais voir, quand midi flamboie,
Les petits oiseaux, pleins de joie,
Se livrer au plaisir du bain.

Aussi vifs que des étincelles,
Ils sautillent de l'onde au sol,
Et l'eau, quand ils prennent leur vol,
Tombe en diamants de leurs ailes.

Mais mon cœur, lassé de souffrir,
En les admirant les envie,
Eux qui ne savent de la vie
Que chanter, aimer et mourir !
François Coppée.

Le mois d’août
Publié le 5 juin 2009 par Vette de Fonclare   

Comment peut-il faire aussi chaud ?
Rien se saurait nous rafraîchir,
Nous nous sentons tout mous dans l’eau :
S’y baigner ? A peine un plaisir !

Le sable est brûlant sous nos pieds,
On n’y peut marcher qu’en sandales !
Les touristes sont si outrés
Que certains crient même au scandale !

Et à Trets ce n’est guère mieux :
L’asphalte fond comme les gens
Qui déambulent malheureux
Et assoiffés en se traînant

Jusqu’à la plus proche terrasse,
Sous les grands platanes ombreux,
Pour y déguster une glace.
Ils pestent, râlent, sont furieux !

Mais avoir chaud, c’est naturel
A la mi-août dans le Midi !
Regardez donc les hirondelles
Qui zèbrent le ciel sans souci …

Poème aout - 2 Poèmes sur aout

Tes yeux sont si profonds qu'en me penchant pour boire
J'ai vu tous les soleils y venir se mirer
S'y jeter à mourir tous les désespérés
Tes yeux sont si profonds que j'y perds la mémoire

À l'ombre des oiseaux c'est l'océan troublé
Puis le beau temps soudain se lève et tes yeux changent
L'été taille la nue au tablier des anges
Le ciel n'est jamais bleu comme il l'est sur les blés

Les vents chassent en vain les chagrins de l'azur
Tes yeux plus clairs que lui lorsqu'une larme y luit
Tes yeux rendent jaloux le ciel d'après la pluie
Le verre n'est jamais si bleu qu'à sa brisure

Mère des Sept douleurs ô lumière mouillée
Sept glaives ont percé le prisme des couleurs
Le jour est plus poignant qui point entre les pleurs
L'iris troué de noir plus bleu d'être endeuillé

Tes yeux dans le malheur ouvrent la double brèche
Par où se reproduit le miracle des Rois
Lorsque le coeur battant ils virent tous les trois
Le manteau de Marie accroché dans la crèche

Une bouche suffit au mois de Mai des mots
Pour toutes les chansons et pour tous les hélas
Trop peu d'un firmament pour des millions d'astres
Il leur fallait tes yeux et leurs secrets gémeaux

L'enfant accaparé par les belles images
Écarquille les siens moins démesurément
Quand tu fais les grands yeux je ne sais si tu mens
On dirait que l'averse ouvre des fleurs sauvages

Cachent-ils des éclairs dans cette lavande où
Des insectes défont leurs amours violentes
Je suis pris au filet des étoiles filantes
Comme un marin qui meurt en mer en plein mois d'août

J'ai retiré ce radium de la pechblende
Et j'ai brûlé mes doigts à ce feu défendu
Ô paradis cent fois retrouvé reperdu
Tes yeux sont mon Pérou ma Golconde mes Indes

Il advint qu'un beau soir l'univers se brisa
Sur des récifs que les naufrageurs enflammèrent
Moi je voyais briller au-dessus de la mer
Les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa les yeux d'Elsa

Les Yeux d'Elsa
Poèmes de Louis Aragon

Citations de Louis Aragon
 ☀🌴 🌴 🌴 ☀🌴 🌴🌴 ☀

Janvier nous prive de feuillage ;
Février fait glisser nos pas ;
Mars a des cheveux de nuage,
Avril, des cheveux de lilas ;

Mai permet les robes champêtres ;
Juin ressuscite les rosiers ;
Juillet met l’échelle aux fenêtres,
Août, l’échelle aux cerisiers.

Septembre, qui divague un peu,
Pour danser sur du raisin bleu
S’amuse à retarder l’aurore ;

Octobre a peur ; Novembre a froid ;
Décembre éteint les fleurs ; et, moi,
L’année entière je t’adore !

Jessye Norman - Soprano

Richard Strauss - Vier letzte Lieder 

Four Last Songs
III. Beim Schlafengehen

 Hermann Hesse
Gewandhausorchester  Leipzig, l982
Conducted by Kurt Masur

Comments:

• Altonahh10 : Masur was always mentioned as one of the Strauss experts. And how he treats this delicate music is a sensation. Norman is a miracle. She is floating on the orchestra, her breath, the breaks, the transitions she creates are unique. And once again it seems as if Strauss knew that one day there would be a soprano who completely understood his intentions. Jessye Norman has it all.  
• Felipe Zava:  This is, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful and ethereal melodies of western music. Die Vier Letzten Lieder Strauss composed is indeed a masterpiece we have been blessed with.   
• enriqueali:  Truly one of the most sublime recordings of this wonderful song. There may be equally compelling versions of the entire set of four ( Schwarzkopf and Gundula Janowitz)  but I have to confess that for this one song  in particular, I always turn first to this Jessye Norman recording.   
• Ratty Woof:  Yes, the singing is superb beyond belief, but the violin solo from 2:00 0 is also utterly beautiful - this is a performance to treasure.  One of my desert island discs I think!

🇩🇪  BEIM SCHLAFENGEHEN 🇩🇪

(Hermann Hesse)

Nun der Tag mich müd gemacht, soll mein sehnliches Verlangen freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
wie ein müdes Kind empfangen.
Hände, laßt von allem Tun, Stirn, vergiß du alles Denken, alle meine Sinne nun wollen sich in Schlummer senken.
Und die Seele unbewacht will in freien Flügen schweben, um im Zauberkreis der Nacht tief und tausendfach zu leben.

🇬🇧   GOING TO SLEEP  🇺🇸

Now that day has tired me, my spirits long for starry night kindly to enfold them, like a tired child.
Hands, leave all your doing; brow, forget all your thoughts.
Now all my senses want to sink themselves in slumber.
And the soul unwatched, would soar in free flight, till in the magic circle of night it lives deeply and a thousandfold.

 

Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Souris à nos ivresses,
Nuit plus douce que le jour,
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses,
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour.
Zéphyrs embrasés,
Versez-nous vos caresses,
Zéphyrs embrasés,
Donnez-nous vos baisers!
vos baisers! vos baisers! Ah!

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
🌞 Heat Wave 🔥

(1963)

Writers  Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, Edward Holland

“Heat Wave" is a 1963 song, produced and composed with a gospel backbeat, jazz overtones and, doo-wop call and responsive vocals.

"Heat Wave" was one of the first songs to exemplify the style of music later termed as the "Motown Sound".

Lead vocals – Martha Reeves

Background vocals – Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard

Instrumentation by the Funk Brothers

Although we like the original song a lot, for the recording we have been inspired a little in some details of the version of "The Who", changing even some parts of the lyrics, varying the structure and making the mythical answers of the "Oh, Yeah!".

Heatwave (Love Is Like A)

Whenever I'm with him

Something inside Starts to burning

And I'm filled with desire  Could it be the devil in me

Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave   Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying  It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name  So slow, sweet and plain

I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me

Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying   It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare in space   Tears all over my face

I can't explain it, don't understand it

I 'ain't never felt like this before

But that doesn't mean it has me amazed

I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

Just like a heatwave  Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying  It's tearing me apart

Don't pass up this chance

This time it's a true romance

"Walking around Colosseum"

Posted By: Dattatreya Mandal February 19, 2018

Touted as the most detailed 3D rendering of the ancient metropolis, Danila Loginov has presented his third and final promo of the ‘eternal city’ of Rome at its architectural peak, circa 320 AD (watch the first and second animated promo). This time around, running over 10 minutes of awesomeness, the animation video (part of the Rome in 3D project) features a range of ancient landmarks such as the temple of Divine Augustus, Basilica Argentaria, the baths of Trajan and Titus to the Colosseum (along with the statue of Colossus Solis), arches of Titus and Constantine, and Ludus Magnus.

Here is the 3rd video trailer, illustrating our project dedicated to reconstruction of the whole center of ancient Rome city as it was in 320 AD. Also this is the last trailer before the release of 3d walkthrough, where you will be able to enjoy this reconstruction by yourself using modern and innovative 3D technologies.

https://www.realmofhistory.com/2018/02/19/astounding-3d-animation-rome-320-ad

In Loginov’s own words –
We are happy to present a new, 3rd trailer of our project, which dedicated to ancient Rome 3D reconstruction, as it was in 320 AD. Previously we have shown the Forums area, and also Palatine and Capitolium hills with their palaces and major temples. Now, upon the user requests, we have focused on the other location of the center of ancient Rome – it’s now the area around Colosseum.This great amphitheater surely dominates all over around territory, in the meantime, there were a number of magnificent buildings which are also worth to be reconstructed. These are baths of Trajan and Titus, the statue of Colossus Solis, arches of Titus and Constantine, Ludus Magnus, the temple of Divine Claudius. Our team spent some time an recreated this area along with all minor buildings as a complex and added it to the model which has been already done. So we have now almost the entire center of ancient imperial Rome already recreated!

What is our “Rome in 3D” project in general? Broadly speaking, it is an attempt to give you an opportunity to take a look at Rome as it really was, by the eyes of humans who lived there in that time. Due to this, we are already paying much attention (and will proceed) to the level of details, adding realistic materials, colors, visual and weather effects. That’s why we are concentrating just on the center of the Rome for now, just to focus on quality and details.

Now we are planning to add a little additional territory (such as Circus Maximus, Velabrum area), and release our project as a 3d walkthrough application. I hope we will be able to complete it in a year approximately.

The significance of 320 AD –

Lastly, the question may naturally arise – why choose the year 320 AD? Well as we discussed earlier in one of our articles –

As for the significance of early 4th century in Rome’s (the city) history, the period mirrored wide-ranging political and religious upheavals in the capital. In many ways, this short epoch reflected the change from classical avenues to ‘Christianized’ scopes, especially with the rise of Constantine. And almost in an ironic manner, such changes brought about the last spurt of architectural achievements in ancient Rome itself – and these ‘church’ structures were complemented by the earlier incredible specimens built by the ‘pagan’ Romans. Simply put, most of what we know about ancient Rome in our modern age comes from this period, along with the glorious preceding years before the rise of Constantine.

Unfortunately, by 410 AD, Rome unceremoniously lost its status as the administrative center of the western Roman realm, while Constantinople (now Istanbul) had already overtaken the ‘eternal city’ in terms of growth and influence in the late 4th century. Interestingly, by virtue of its newfound status as the wealthiest city in Europe, Constantinople was also called Nova Roma (Νέα Ῥώμη or ‘New Rome’), thus attesting to the power and prestige of original Rome in its imperial heyday.
