The newsletter

The eyes. We say they are the soul’s mirror… They manifest so many things, so many senses, and mystery too.
Look around you, and see the magic of cat’s eyes and the beauty of cow’s eyes.

Eyes

The Eyes

Blue or black, all loved, all nice
So many eyes saw dawn
They sleep in the deep of tombs
And the sun still gets up

Nights, sweeter than days
Enchanted so many eyes :
Stars still shine
And eyes are full of shadow.

Oh, they can’t see anymore,
No, no, it’s impossible !
They have turned away to look
At what we call the invisible ;

And like the waning stars
Leave us, but stay in the sky,
The eyes become motionless
But it’s not true death

Blue or black, all loved, all nice,
Open to any immense dawn,
On the other side of tombs,
Closed eyes still see.

Sully Prudhomme in La vie antérieure, Anterior life

The curve of your eyes

The curve of your eyes goes around my heart
A round of dance and sweetness,
Halo of time, cradle, nightly and sure,
And if I no longer know what happened to me
It’s because your eyes didn’t always look to me.

Day leaves and dew moss
Reeds in the wind, smile perfumed
Wings covering the world with light
Boats full of sky and sea,
Hunters of sound and sources of color.

Perfumes flowering from the dawn's light.
Which always lies on a pallet of stars
As day depends from innocence
All the world depends of your pure eyes
And all my blood flows in their glance.

Paul Eluard in Capitale de la douleur ( Capital of Pain)

Extract

"He comes in and switches on the light, touches a switch gently and the sound of a sârod fills the empty room. He lays on a Jaipur cushion – because he likes all things coming from India – and thinks again about what he saw today, a spice shop where it’s possible to find the smells of all the world, a woman, whose ageless eyes attract him as….
Fruitless dreams. Fruitless and dangerous.
"When you begin to mix your own desires with your vision, the Old Woman told us, you lose the true vision. Your mind gets confused and spices don’t obey you anymore."
Go back Tilo, before it is too late.
I strive to make myself empty. I’ll trust only my own hands, my hands with their bones, which sing for me what the solitary American man needs."

Sârod : music instrument like a sitâr.

La maîtresse des épices ( The Mistress of Spices) by Chitra Banerjee, translated into French by Marie-Odile Probst, ed. Picquier, Paris, 1999, pp. 78-79
