Bonjour ma vie

Et vous mes désespoirs.
Me revoici aux fossés
Où naquit ma misère !
Toi mon vieux guignon,
Je te rapporte un peu de cœur
Bonjour, bonjour à tous
Bonjour mes vieux copains ;
Je vous reviens avec ma gueule
De paladin solitaire,
Et je sais que ce soir
Monteront des chants infernaux…
Voici le coin de boue
Où dormait mon front fier,
Aux hurlements des vents,
Par les cris de Décembre ;
Voici ma vie à moi,
Rassemblée en poussière…
Bonjour, toutes mes choses,
J’ai suivi l’oiseau des tropiques
Aux randonnées sublimes
Et me voici sanglant
Avec des meurtrissures
Dans mon cœur en rictus !…
Bonjour mes horizons lourds,
Mes vieilles vaches de chimères :
Ainsi fleurit l’espoir
Et mon jardin pourri !
- Ridicule tortue,
J’ai ouvert le bec
Pour tomber sur des ronces
Bonjour mes poèmes sans raison…

Tengo notas escritas en papel de ideas, recuerdos, inspiraciones... apuntes por todos lados. En la puerta de la nevera, en el teléfono, entre los libros, en mi mesa de trabajo, en diarios personales y no tan personales, en mi carpeta de poemas... ¡¡¡Por todos lados!!! 

Notas sueltas, igual que las notas que farandulean por el aire cuando un director de orquesta sinfónica alza sus batutas y las notas de los instrumentos surcan el aire sin control.

Il Capodanno - 3 minutes Italian

大家好，今天我们来聊聊元宵节必不可少的美食 - 元宵，又称“汤圆”。“元宵”的叫法主要流行于北方地区，南方地区较多称为“汤圆”。虽然它们外皮都是用糯米粉做的，且外形相似都为圆形，但制作方法和口感却各有千秋。北方的元宵是用干粉“滚”出来的，而南方的汤圆则是用湿粉“包”出来的。二者内里的馅料也各具特色，元宵多为甜馅，汤圆则有甜、咸、荤、素馅的不同选择。甜馅包含枣泥、豆沙、芝麻、花生甚至是水果口味。咸馅为猪肉馅。无论哪一种，都是美味无比的。吃元宵象征着团团圆圆，和和美美。
Today we’re talking about yuanxiao—the essential Lantern Festival delicacy, also known as tangyuan.
“Yuanxiao” is the name commonly used in northern China, while “tangyuan” is preferred in the south. Though both are made from glutinous rice flour and shaped into round balls symbolizing unity, they differ in preparation and texture: northern yuanxiao are made by rolling solid sweet fillings in dry rice flour until a coating forms, giving them a slightly chewy, rustic bite, whereas southern tangyuan are crafted by wrapping moist rice dough around the filling by hand, resulting in a smoother, softer texture. 
Their fillings also reflect regional tastes—yuanxiao are typically sweet, filled with red bean paste, black sesame, peanut, jujube (date) paste, or even fruit flavors, while tangyuan come in a wider variety including sweet, savory, meat (like minced pork), and vegetarian options. No matter the type, they’re all delicious—and eating these round treats symbolizes family reunion, harmony, and a happy, whole life.
