Cum Deo, so to say..

I'm going to stop visiting music classes. Too much work. It seems like Sunday, but it is Saturday. I'm sitting at the desk with my dictionaries all day long. I understand that it's my profession, maybe even vocation, but it is week-end! Lack of time. Meanwhile, I'm going to finish the translation of the another Uhland's poem. I wonder how.

"Підхопили постмодернізм, як вітрянку, розчухали до крові, 

ну, і яке ж тепер обличчя літератури?"

Почала читать роман Костенко. Нічого так. Не забути б ще джеймсонський постмодерн дочитати...

Вчора була прем*єра фільма з моїм улюбленим актором. В Англії, звісно. Чекаємо до листопада.

Houston, we've got a problem...

Мне снились в жизни сны, которые потом оставались со мной навсегда и меняли мой образ мыслей: они входили в меня постепенно, проникая насквозь, как смешиваются вода с вином, и меняли цвет моих мыслей.

"Грозовой перевал" пер. Н. Вольпин.

Sunflower, it's your turn ;-)

recreational readind

Recently I've finished reading espionage novel "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" by John le Carré. Earlier I'd read another page-turner by this author - "A Murder of Quality". I got into it in no time. Very compelling. Both.

I'm sure the movie is gripping from start to finish.
*looking forward to the premiere*

Meanwhile, let me share with you some quotes from the book:



To possess another language is to possess another soul  
(supposedly by Charles the Fifth)

Amazing what people will tell you if it gives them a chance of showing off their languages  XD

To recognise failure is to live with it
A service that did not struggle did not survive    

An artist is a bloke who can hold two fundamentally opposing views and still function (Scott Fitzgerald)
 

Too much wampum not good for braves (Red Indian joke)

The more you pay for it, the less inclined you are to doubt it

усім гарного дня

"...розчаровуватися батьківщиною - це природно. Бо на те, щоб зачаровуватись, існує чужина. А з батьківщини вистачить і того, що вона просто є."

Інтерв'ю Андруховича 

Недавно перечитувала його "Таємницю". Недоперечитала.
"Усього так багато, що мені залишається пунктир" (звідти)

А ще - сьогодні ювілей у Богдана Сильвестровича. Дай Боже йому здоров'я та натхнення.
