BORNA TRILOGY - 3


...AND SOLITUDE OF SILENCE DRAGGED ME TO SOLITUDE IN SILENCE AND THE TIME,WHO IS ALWAYS PRESENT.THE TIME TO BRING SPACE TO THE TIME,TO TAKE SPACE FROME THE TIME,TO OMEGA OF MELANCHOLIA,AT 'THE TIME OF BORNAI' AND THIS WAS THE TITLE OF MY FINAL BOOK IN 'BORNA TRILOGY' ALTHOUGH IMAGES IN WORDS STILL WITH ME IN A LONG SOMBER JOURNEY OF WAILS AND WAVES...

*OMEGA OF DEATH*

AND THE GREEN NIGHTS PASS
AS THE TIME OF NAKEDNESS EXTENDED
AT THE TIME OF TIME
WHEN THE TIME WAS CONSTANTLY PERSUING YOU
AND THE GREEN TIMES
PASS THROUGH GRASS.

THAT SUMMER
I WAS STARING
AT THE TIME
BUT THE TIME
WAS REACHING ME
EMPTY OF GAZE
MAY BE
EMPTY
ONLY
AT THE TIME OF DEATH DEPARTURE.

* FORTIETH *

FATHER IS OLD SOUL AND THE YOUTHFUL IS YOU
ALL MUSCLES AND MASCULINE IS YOU
- FERDOSI

1.TONIGHT I ONLY COUNT METEORS WITH YOU
FOLLOWING THE COUNT OF
FORTY RESTLESS NIGHTS
WITHOUT AN END.

2.AND WITH YOU I GAZE AT
THE MOON AND CONSTELLATIONS
WHO ARE PLAYING ANXIOUSLY AGAIN
AND THE SUN SILENTLY
SITTING IDLE
IN FORTIETH.

3. TONIGHT I OBSERVE
QUIET BLUE STARS

TONIGHT I GO AROUND
THE WORLD IN SOLITUDE
WITH YOU I AM TAHAMTAN
I AM ROSTAM AND FARAMARZ
WITH YOU.

NO! THIS TORN CALENDAR
WON'T DARE TO PAGE
IN THE WIND.
AND WE REMAIN GUESTS OF
OUR GOOD EARTH.

IT TAKES 8 1/2 ANGELINAS
TO DISCOVER HEAVENS
WHERE THE DAREDEVIL
IS ASKING FOR HELP
TO COLOR THE SKY.
HE IS DIRECTING
CUMULUS STEAMS OF
8 1/2 TURKISH BATHS
TOWARD SPACE
TO LIGHT UP THE STAGE.
I RECOGNIZED LIFE
BY FACES OF
8 1/2 WHORES
AND 8 1/2 PIMPS
DANCING WITH
8 1/2 DEVIL HORNS X 2

AFTER WATCHING 8 1/2 ,A 1963 FILM OF FEDERICO FELLINI WITH HANDSOME DEVIL MARCHELLO MASTROIANI AND PRETTY DEVILESS CLAUDIA CARDINALE WHO NEVER GOT OLD, AT LEAST IN THIS MOVIE!
THIS POEM FOR HOSSEIN FAZELI(NAANAAM) WHO WAS BORN IN SHIRAZ,06061343.NAANAAM WITH HIS POEMS MADE WINE OF SHIRAZ TASTE ACRID AND NOSTALGIC.THAT'S WHY IT IS SO POPULAR AROUND THE WORLD.and sometimes disguised in Syrah,but we all know it is the same word,and even tastes the same too.
Also a glass of SHIRAZ WINE for Federico Fellini on his birthday,a great lover in the shape of Satan/Satana...

LANGSTON HUGHES DAY


*EPILOGUE
I, too sing America

I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes
But I laugh
And eat well
And grow strong

Tomorrow
I'll sit at the table
When company comes
Nobody'll dare
Say to me
"Eat in the kitchen"
Then

Besides
They see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed-

I,tto am America

LOVE PLATONIC STYLE

IT IS ALL PLATO'S FAULT WHO WAS BORN MAY 21,428 B.C. AND LASTED TILL 347 B.C. THE BROAD SHOULDER THINKER REDUCED LOVE TO DIALOGUE ON LOVE.SO SOMEONE NAMED NIETZSCHE DIALOGUED THAT IT IS ALL FOR POWER AND THE OTHER GUY WHOSE LAST NAME WAS SCHOPENHAUER CLAIMED POWER AS SEX DRIVE IS RESPONSIBLE.
ALL THESE THINGS BROUGHT UP SUSPICION THAT MEN ARE AFTER LOVE TO MAKE SURE THEY'LL STAY ON POWER AND KEEP THEIR TIGHT GRIP ON THE OTHER SEX.WHILE OTHER THINK TANKS THOUGHT ALL THESE ARE MUTUAL,AND FROM LOVE TO SEX TO POWER IT IS ALL ON GIVE AND TAKE BASIS AND GIVE AND TAKE AGREEMENT OF NATURE'S NATURE.SO EVERYBODY CONCURRS TO TAKE SIDE AND PLAY THESE ROLES.
AFTER ALL FOUCAULT IS THE ONE WHO EMPHASISED ON ROLE OF SHOULDER IN THIS MATTER:
ONE BENDS FOR ONE TO PUT THE BURDEN ON THE SHOULDER.
THE POINT IS WHOSE SHOULDER IT IS AND WHOSE BURDEN.HERE COMES DISCUSSION AND DIALOGUE AND DIFFERENC ABOUT LOVE,RATHER THAN LOVE ITSELF.AND THAT IS ALL PLATO'S FAULT ON HIS B-D AND OR ANY OTHER DAYS OF THE YEAR.
BY THE WAY AT THAT TIME OF HISTORY WHERE THE HECK PLATO OR HIS FAMILY FOUND A CALENDAR TO REGISTER HIS BIRTHDAY ON IT AS OF MAY 21 ?!

REZA SEYED HOSSEINI HAD EYES ON POETRY

REZA SEYED HOSSEINI(b.Oct 14,1926/22 Mehr 1305,Ardebil,Azarbayejan,Iran - d.May 1,2009/11 Ordibehesht 1388,Tehran) was considered a prominent translator and journalist in Iran .His 2 volume book, MAKTAB HA YE ADABI or literary schools(1955), has been very popular before new generation of critics and intellectuals like Babak Ahmadi,Mohammad Mokhtari,Peyman Vahabzadeh,abdolali Dastgheib and others appear on the literary scenes of Iran and abroad.Seyed Hosseini who translated literature of the world into Persian, published 34 books,among them Limelight of Charlie Chaplin,Tempest of Albert Camus,Dream of Love of Maxim Gorky,L'Espoir or Man's Hope of Andre Malraux and his other work:anti-memoirs,On Defense of Intellectuals of Sartre,and others...
Reza Seyeh Hosseini had his eyes on poetry too. He translated Nazim Hekmat's selected poems from Turkish to Farsi.Also when Manuchehr Atashi,as a young poet from Bushehr moved to Tehran for continuing higher educations and decided to publish his poems as well,non of the publishers in Tehran wanted to risk his efforts and franchise for a new comer.At that point Reza Seyed Hosseini,a relatively young writer himself decided to take over and introduced the young poet by publishing his first book :AHANG E DIGAR,other song(1960).Again more than a decade later this was Seyed hosseini,the poetry lover who is to be instrumental in transferring Atashi from department of educaction to National Iranian Radio Television and its weekly journal, Tamasha.
Reza Seyed Hosseini who for years was editor-in-chief of Sokhan monthly ,a well known literary journal,died at age 83.

COMPOSERS CORNER:TOP TEN THRONES+


chopin,the poet of piano
CHOPIN.BEETHOVEN.MAHLER.LISZT.HAYDN.MOZART
*modified 3.1.11

*Prefacebook:
Looking at N Y TIMES, and Anthony Tommasini's THE GREATEST,one wonders why Bach and Baroque (except Albinoni) are on top tier.They are only 400 years old,but sound like 1000!We want moderns and contemporaries.This list goes on with:
Ludwig Van Beethoven,Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,Franz Schubert,Claude Debu,Igor Stravinsky,Johannes Brahms,Giuseppe Verdi,Richrd Wagner, and Bela Bartok...But no list without Gustav Mahler is valuable,let alone Shostakovich,Haydn,Handel,Chopin,Dvorak,Rachmaniev,Tchaikovski...and among opera composers:Puccini.By the way where does John Cage stand among all these names?
The music critic has his own rationals.Bach hasmasterly musical engineering and profound expressivity,and with no opera in his resume shows the power and passion of drama in his choral work.For him Mozart was a path breaking opera composer while Beethoven's technique was not as facile of him,and in his 4th piano concerto brought mysticism,poetic reveries and wildness of the music.Schbert is essentionl for concert music,and Debussy has a tension of timelessness and harmonic language who carried the music to 20th century.
Tmmasini continues his list with Stravisky who composed Firebird and Rites of Spring.Then comes the romantic Brahms who has the thrilling grandeur and strangeness of Beethoven.The dynamic duo of 19th century opera,as he calls them,are Verdi and Wagner in his list of the greatest,and finally Bartok as an ethnomusicologist and modernist with a language of tonality,unorthodox scales and atonal wandering.
he acknowledges names of musicians missing in his top ten list ,such as:
Monteverdi of pre-Bach era,to 20th century composers like Ligeti,Messiaen,Shostakovich,Ives Schoenberg,Prokofiev,Copland,Berg,...and admits to listening Britten,Haydn,Chopin,Monteverdi,Ligeti,among others.
So that is one list.
And this is my list,under progress,with more notes elswhere on this site:
Beethoven,Chopin,Dvorak,Handel,Hayden,Liszt,Mahler,Mozart,
and more...

*FRYDERYK CHOPIN
b.WARSAW,POLAND,1 March 1810
D.17 October 1849
Other than orchestral music and chamber music,Chopin is known for his piano music and established himself as THE POET OF PIANO,FOR HIS MELODIES AND HARMONIES
These are:
16 Polonaise
62 Mazurkas
4 Ballades
21 nocturnes
26 Preludes,for George Sand in Mallorca?
27 studies,including revolutinary
$ Scherzos
3 Sonata
4 Improptus
also his funeral march often played to convey death and loss.
Chpin died at age 39 with temporal lobe epilepsy which caused haucinations of Lilliputian type,mostly visual.but not much of auditory,although they might have been translated into his art.

1.GUSTAV MAHLER
NOVEMBER IS MONTH OF MAHLER,FOR classical wta RADIO,WHO IS PLANNING TO PERFORM HIS MUSIC.IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT GOOD PIECES OF MAHLER'S MUSIC COULD BE HEARD IN LUCHINO VISCONTI'S MASTERFULLY MADE MOVIE:DEATH IN VENICE.YOU WILL ENJOY THOMAS MANN'S STORY WITH GREAT ACTING OF DEREK BOGARD.SO IMAGINE MANN,VISCONTI,BOGARD AND MAHLER IN ONE PACKAGE.HOW MANY OSCAR'S GOLD STATUETTE WOULD YOU SPARE?

ANYWAY DON'T MISS GUSTAV MAHLER'S SYMPHONIES ON NOVEMBER.YOU MAY CHECK THE SCHEDULE OF
classicalweta.org
BEFORE MAHLER'S SYMPHONY NO.1 WAS PERFORMED IN RADIO,ANNOUNCER SAID HUNDRED YEARS AGO,TODAY NOV.4 IN 1909,MAHLER CONDUCTED HIS DEBUT WITH NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC IN CARNEGIE HALL.IN MY BOOK MAHLER'S FIRST PERFORMANCE IN NEW YORK WAS TRISTAN AND ISOLDE OPERA
IN METROPOLITAN OPERA ON JAN 1,1908.MAHLER'S FIRST CONCERT WITH NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC WAS ON MAR 31,1909,AND MAHLER'S PREMIERE OF HIS FIRST SYMPHONY,WHAT IS BEING PLAYED NOW BY THE RADIO THROUGH CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA,WAS ON DEC 16,1909.BUT THESE ARE ONLY SOME DETAILS.LET'S ENJOY MAHLER ON THE GOOD RADIO,WE'RE PROUD OF,IN METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON AND HAGERSTOWN,MD.,WITH MARY ANNE COOLY,WHO IS NOW SITTING BEHIND MIC AND ENJOYING WITH ALL OF US.

MAHLER'S BIRTHDAY IS 07/07/ 1860
MUSIC IS ABSURD FILTER OF INTELLECT TO MAKE IT PURE AND POWERFUL...
MAHLER SYMPHONY NO.8 WITH VALERIY GERGIEV LEADS THE LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA& CHORUS,CHORAL ARTS SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON...
ACCORDING TO WASHINGTON POST ,THIS IS A PART OF MAHLER 21ST CENTURY BY GERGIEV INTERPRETATION OF THE GREAT COMPOSOR BECAUSE OF "POWERFUL,IDIOSYNCRATIC BUT A LITTLE TWITCHY AND NERVOUS" THAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED OPERA AS:"MASSIVE EVEN BY MAHLER'S STANDARD...HUGE ORCHESTRAL AND CHORAL FORCES"

Mahler's symphony no. 4 (1899-1900)written for soprano and orchestra ,is once again further discssed to discover his romantic mood and modern world.Mahler was born July 7,1860 in Bohemia and grew up in Moravia and in 1875 entered Vienna conservatory. his passing happened May 18,1911 and that is why these days his symphony no. 4 among other symphonies is heard in Berlin and his orchestral songs in Carnege Hall of New York City.This one at hand on a CD is conducted by Ivan Fischer too with Budapest Festival Orchestra.At present Ivan Fischer is conductor of National Symphony Orchestra and on his way to go to china with NSO.
This light and short symphony like 2,3 and 8 uses voice and word to have a better reflection of the world and take Mahler "to his dreams of angels,fairy tales,angst and pure,divine love" as Fischer's note describe.
You can not overlook performances of conductors like Abbado,Bulez,Solti,Szell,...
but Fischer's is "among the very best"according to NYT reviewer.Critics or biographers like J.carr refer to parallel between Mahler's Fourth Symphony and that of Beethoven,the first modernist composer , because they both are compact and light.
It is noteworthy that Mahler considered to be a revolutionary as director of Vienna opera .
This may sound a little like cliche but we still have to wait for real Mahler to be discovered in the world of music.

PPOPULATION DAY


UPDATED: 07/11/2009
HAPPY WORLD POPULATION DAY!
ON JULY 11,1987 THE POPUALATION OF THE WORLD REACHED 5 BILLION AND ON THIS OCCASION ,JULY 11 RECOGNIZED AS THE WORLD POPULATION DAY.AS THIS NUMBER INCREASED TO MORE THAN 6 BILLION WE PROPOSE TO ADD ANOTHER P FOR EACH BILLION AND IN OTHER WORLD CALL IT 'PPOPULATION DAY'FOR THE TIME BEING,AND SOON 'PPPULATION DAY'ETC...YOU THINK I AM KIDDING BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT POPULATION POPS ARE VERY SERIOUS AND NO MATTER OF JOKES.
WE WILL SEE YOU SOON ON THIS SITE TO DISCUSS THE SUBJECT FURTHERMORE.AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE SAID BEFORE:
...I AM NOT A TWITTERATI AND PROBABLY NOT A TWITTERATURE EDITOR BUT THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS MAD MAD MAD WORLD.

#1,IT IS POPULATION POPSCOMING SOON:7000 000 000 HEADS..."POPULATION WHEN UNCHECKED,INCREASES IN GEOMETRICAL PROGRESSION OF SUCH A NATURE AS TO DOUBLE ITSELF EVERY TWENTY- FIVE YEARS." THIS LAST TWITTER IS A QUOTE FROM THE BOOK OF THOMAS ROBERT MALTHUS ( 1766-1834 ).IT IS A GREAT CLASSIC AND STILL OF VALUE IN POSTMODERN ERA.

#2,FDA APPROVED PLAN B OR MORNING AFTER PILL AFTER 17 YEARS.

#3,THREE WOMEN CLAIM FERNANDO LUGO OF PARAGUAY FATHERED THEIR CHILDREN./LIFE IS HAIKU/AND A LITTLE LONG TOO.
OUR LOVEBOY,MR PREZ, HAS BIG HEART BUT HE HAS TO TAKE ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES(FOR MALE)OR LEARN HOW TO USE CONDOM, OR AT LEAST HAVE THE ADDRESS OF A NEARBY CLINIC.
CLAIMING PATERNITY ALSO PROVIDES A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO THINK OF CONDOM EVEN PRE- FOREPLAY,BUT NOT MUCH APRES!.THESE SLY SPERMS ARE FLYING FAST ALL OVER PLACES.
ENOUGH FOR POPULATION TWITTERATURE TODAY BUT STILL A LOT TO SAY ABOUT DISASTER RISK, LIKE TORNADO OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS,AND POPULATION...MAY BE IN ANOTHER OCCASION.

2570 years ago Persian Empire was born according to written history,wherein  Buddha,the Persian Prince was born 2547 years ago in yhe month of May(=Wine!) and or midspring .This date varies in different cultures and calendars,either solar or lunar,Gregorian or Jalali,better to be known as Khayyami...then The prince of Simorgh preferred to live with peace,in the heart of nature rather than war torn palaces.So Buddha travelled eastward to the sun and through Bamian reached a tall white wall,aka Himalaya in Nepal (=NEFAR or high standing hut) and lived humanely there with love and happiness in what he was searching as peace.
Buddha left his Persian Behdin/khoramdin  behind and ascended to Nirvana at age 80.

I am celebrating his zaadmaan with Haiku ,a Persian form ,close to Taraneh,Dobeiti,Fahlaviat or Pahlaviat,Tabari,Gilaki,Sharveh,Lori,Ashighi ,Robai and other forms in persian old tradition of poetry...

A*SH*N*A
تجربه یی چنین رادیکال ,پیش از آن که دستاورد نبوغ یا جرف اندیشی فرد باشد ,هدیه یی است از سوی زمان به آن ها که از روز مر گی اقتدار خسته و بریده اند. آنان که گمشدگی در آسمان باز آزادی را بر خود یابی در قفس های زیبای سبکی , تجربه ی پدیداری را بر شناخت یافته ها ,آموختن را بر دانستن,و سمن ستیزی را بر سامان گزینی برتری می دهند,تجربه گران بالقوه ی پدیداری شعر می شوند

شطح ,فشرده گویی,ایجاز,درنگ,حکم , تعریف و تجربه , ریشخند,طنز کوتاه و مانند ان ,و از جمله شعر ,
مجموعه یی است که پیمان وهابزاده ,شاعر و ناقد ایرانی مقیم ونکوور کانادا از کارهایش فراهم آورده است 
شطحیات بهانه یی ست برای همدردی و هم نفسی که نه تنها میان ٢٠٠٧تا ٢٠١١ یا پیش تر از آن بل از آن همیشه است  درد و دمی که در جان او و همه است اما با او در تنهایی می نالد و می بالد و به مثابه مادری مهربان ترجمه می کند تا دردی و زخمی همگانی باشد اما نامیدن آن ها به شکل پایانی نیست و البته هم پایان درد 
چیزی سزاوار شاعر و شاعری نیست .
او در آینه می نشیند و آینه او را فراموش می کند تا با او زندگی را میسر می سازد اما این زندگی اوست که دردی بی درمان است , که با او به دنیا آمده و یعنی که همزاد اوست و مثل دکترش قصد تاخیر فر آیندی را دارد که نام بیماری بیمار درد های بی درمان است  .بیمار فلسفه می بافد و دکتر را به سرگیجه می اندازد و تمثیل هر دو از واقعیت دور می شود و بی اعتباری واقعیت هم دردی را درمان نمی کند حتا وقتی آنان-دکتر و بیمار-جایشان را عوض می کنند اما جای شطحیات عوض نمی شود .تا که درد هست شطح هم هست و گر نه شاعری حرفها ی بی حاصلی ست و دکتری هم ! 
یعنی که جهان بینی که در آن روح بشری را می بینیم هست و ادامه دارد .پس به دنبال چه می گردد او که بیمار است و کسالت دارد و شاعر هم. بیماری درد بی درمانی است و درد بی درمان بهترین درهاست زیرا که تو را در خود می سازد و تو را تحلیل می برد .و شفا یافته مفهومی است که شاعر دوست ندارد ,پس آن نون منفی را به آن اضافه می کند و شاعر می ماند حتا اگر تظاهر کند که شعرها و شطح هایش نا تمام مانده است مثل بودای شهزاده ی پارسی که از خراسان بزرگ به راه افتاد و در بامیان تندیس خود را به منادیان قرون پسین
 وا گذا شت تا در خود و با خود بنشیند یا به راه رود چه تنهایی تنها درمان رهرو است 
ده 
از دکترم می پرسم:فلسفه ی شغل شما چیست؟
و او به آرامی می گوید : به تاخیر انداختن پایان ناگزیر تو, پیش از رسیدن به پایان ناگزیر خودم

WE WERE TOUCHED BY HIS SONGS,WRITTEN FOR VIGUEN,THE PERSIAN KING OF JAZZ, TO SING.
WE DRANK OUR TEARS WITH HIS SIMPLE STREET POEMS AS CHASERS.
WE BROKE HIS GLASSES OF WORDS, IN RAGE.

text
is escaping me
when I reveal it
everytime
and when a blank page
is revealed by text
it is a disgrace of the world.
from...REVELATION OF TEXT

Once I wrote about Model's poetry:
That is why he is worried about those"love words"and if they are burned is like he is being killed and there will be no poems where he is lost or just waiting to be found by himself.
See my essays on Model's poetry in: AFTAB(Norway),SIMORGH(Los Angeles,USA),ETEMAD MELLI(Iran),...also my introduction to Model's selected poems to be published soon with English translations.
