We should tread the steps of Hesiod up Mount Helicon and hear the Muses. They are certain to appear if we listen carefully. We should follow the Taoist sages, Han Shan up Cold Mountain in his little hut, watching the seasons go by, or the great LI Po - ´You asked me what is my reason for lodging in the grey hills: I smiled but made no reply for my thoughts were idling on their own; like the flowers of the peach tree, they had sauntered off to other climes, to other lands that are not of the world of men.´" - Wir reisen immer (mindestens im Kopf). <br />MelusineMelusineBarbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027460752254735542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205476841594642623.post-23679544631842360332010-08-10T21:41:41.954+02:002010-08-10T21:41:41.954+02:00@ Barby :) Here´s what Amanda wrote the day after ...@ Barby :) Here´s what Amanda wrote the day after Grants death in Brisbane: <br />I would like to say some true things about Grant.<br />As a musician and songwriter, he was articulate, thoughtful, emotional and poetic. His songs are distinguished by beautiful, yearning melodies and lyrics which were literate and free from cliche. The esteem in which he was held by people like R.E.M. and Franz Ferdinand reflect the high calibre of his artistic output. Grant's songs captured an Australia that was influenced by his love for contemporary American writers like Cormac Macarthy, Richard Ford and Raymond Carver and songwriters such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith. These writers inform his images of Australia, which range from the landscapes tinged with nostalgia and loss (Cattle and Cane and Bye Bye Pride), suburban life (Streets of Your Town), epic narratives (The Wrong Road, Black Mule) and of course, exquisite love songs like Quiet Heart, Stones for You, and Bachelor Kisses.<br />Grant was gentle and even tempered, intelligent and quixotic. Sometimes his bravado could mask an private inner life that was marked by melancholy and loss. His father died when he was very young, and he was sent to boarding school in Brisbane at a young age.<br />Grant and I were lovers and friends, sharing a world of music, travelling, books, film and art. We influenced each other in a mutually profound and creatively vibrant way, and we lived intensely and happily together for several years. We met recently in Sydney, after a prolonged absence from each others lives. It meant a lot to me to be reunited again, and seems particularly precious now. I will miss him more than I can say.<br />Amanda BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205476841594642623.post-19138558691804525572010-08-10T21:34:23.112+02:002010-08-10T21:34:23.112+02:00Liebe Melusine,
„Jede Reise muss freiwillig sein,...Liebe Melusine, <br />„Jede Reise muss freiwillig sein, um zu vergnügen. Sie braucht dazu eine Lage, die gern, zumindest nicht unlustig, verlassen wird. Das erste Gefühl im Wagen oder Zug, wenn er endlich abfährt, entscheidet über das Kommende. Ist Reisen erzwungen oder Beruf, also nicht abbrechend-glücklich, so ist es keines.“<br />Ernst Bloch, Das Prinzip Hoffnung (Reiz der Reise, Schöne Fremde)<br />Wir können ja hier noch ein Seminar zu Bloch aufmachen. <br />AléaAléa Torikhttp://www.aleatorik.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205476841594642623.post-81299130964004834612010-08-10T10:32:48.163+02:002010-08-10T10:32:48.163+02:00Habe ich auch gar nicht als pampig wahrgenommen :)...Habe ich auch gar nicht als pampig wahrgenommen :) Bei mir stapelt sich auch immer alles.
