Fast Day 159 June 19 2010 {Catamarans a Voiles-Etoiles...}



Catamarans à Voiles-Étoiles
dans le Golfe du Mexique

Les télescopes de MM. Green & Cook
étaient d'une grandeur considerable;
mais celui du Docteur Hubble était
encore beaucoup plus grand.
La mort d'une planète, deja agée,
d'un rang supérieur, nourricier de Galaxie,
présenta a la Science belle occasion
de connaître les cérémonies funèbres
dans les signes du zodiaque,
tout en disant:
Never, never shall we cease to long
for the Earth, not returning, exiled
upon the Euxine Sea; no delicious
homecoming sweet nostalgia;
prodigal we are in debt to Death.

NOTES:
an experiment.
title:  Sailing Catamarans of Stars in the Gulf of Mexico
meditation on technology and our lives.

translation:

The telescopes of Misters Green and Cook
were of considerable size,
but that of Doctor Hubble was
even larger.
The death of a planet, already quite old,
of a high rank, nourisher of Galaxy,
gave Science a perfect occasion
to observe the funeral customs
in the signs of the zodiac,
all the while saying:
(the rest in English...)
