‘March days return with their covert light’
'March days return with their covert light,
and huge fish swim through the sky,
vague earthly vapours progress in secret,
things slip to silence one by one.
Through fortuity, at this crisis of errant skies,
you reunite the lives of the sea to that of fire,
grey lurchings of the ship of winter
to the form that love carved in the guitar.
O love, O rose soaked by mermaids and spume,
dancing flame that climbs the invisible stairway,
to waken the blood in insomnia’s labyrinth,
so that the waves can complete themselves in the sky,
the sea forget its cargoes and rages,
and the world fall into darkness’s nets.'

Pablo Neruda
Si te zidisem lacrimand in ea,
Si hotarasem sa gasesc pretextul
De a muri si eu, AICI, candva...
Stiam ca savarsisem o eroare,
Punand in zid tot ce aveam mai sfant,
Dar si ca nu se face fara jertfa,
In veci, nimic durabil pe pamant.
Ma si mandream, ma si uram de toate
Si cred ca sangele mi-era amar,
Cand am crezut c-aud cum plange, trista,
Femeia mea ce devenea altar.
Si o iubeam mai mult ca niciodata,
Simtindu-ma o umbra de barbat,
Si-acolo unde am cazut, izvorul,
De lacrimile mele e sarat.
M-as fi intors sa regandesc proiectul,
Portret al obsesivelor idei,
Sa scot din zid fiinta adorata,
Sa ma zidesc pe mine-n locul ei.
Dar, dintr-odata, a venit cosmarul,
Rasplata pentru tot cinismul meu,
Femeia MEA din caramizi plecase,
Strigand ca-n zid acolo-i este...GREU.
Si eu care-o facusem manastire
Si m-aruncasem de pe schele jos,
Ca sa ma aflu langa ea, prin moarte,
Simteam mortar uscat, la mine-n os...
Un scancet de copil urca prin ziduri,
Un clopotel inchis in clopot mut,
Murea neprotejat, copilul nostru,
Nefericitul nostru....nenascut.
Si manastirea a cazut deodata,
Altarul sacru devenea moloz
Si adorata trancanea in lume,
Ridicola c-un fel de doliu....ROZ.
Aceasta e legenda aberanta,
In care alte taine se inchid,
Despre zidarul ce, si mort, ADORA
IUBIREA lui care-a fugit din zid.
Iar EL devine NU zidar, ci....ZID !

Great post and very nice photo's.
Greetings, Joop
O fotografie cu tine de ce nu ai pus? Sunt sigur că esti la fotogenică pe cât eşti de talentată ca fotograf.
La mulţi ani!
I enjoy all of your photos but the women with the weathered faces framed in scarves always draw my attention. You give them such dignity.
your photos are so beautiful. Wonderful post.
Nice photos, but the first one is outstanding. It stopped me in my tracks.
We are on a trip, I will be back!
Hmmmm .... I thought every day was Women's Day.
Seriously, your photographic recognition of the many roles of women is a fascinating reminder that while the world is a complex and varied place, it often is a single thread which offers order in the lives of each and every one of us. That thread is a woman.
Your photographs are, as always, wonderful, Daliana.
