Depuis les larges fenêtres donnant
sur des ombres feutrées
les regards concentrés
dans la section fatiguée
des journaux alarmés
par les nouvelles arrivées
du front cherchent l’apaisement
sur l’étagère des mots consacrés
à la recherche de l’essence cachée.
et encore une fois, il est aussi question de fenêtre et de ‘feuille aaaaage’ dedans….chez moi 🙂
c’est trop fort, ces quasi ‘similitudes’ qui se ‘répondent’ dans nos entrées ( et aussi souvent 🙂 ) alors qu’on vit si loin l’une de l’autre, MC!
moi ça m’éclate et me fascine! 😉
Fascinant en effet !
The secret life of the library! I love the part about the « new arrivals. » This is all vanishing as the libraries migrate online.
Hopefully, newspapers will be fashionable again one day (like long players). As much as I like the virtual world, and appreciate the freedom it gives, I still appreciate reading books and newspapers in a library :). Sitting in a space amongst other readers is a unique experience 🙂
Very true. It’s communal in a way that being on a computer is not! And then there’s the scent and feel of the paper 🙂
dire qu’on veut vendre notre bibliothèque patrimoniale, celle qu’ils ont abandonnée depuis des lustres
Et ne plus vivre sans l’odeur du papier. Quelle tristesse !
Hello Sylvie. I have nominated you for The Sunshine award. Details on my post tonight, ‘Stalking The Starling’.
Hello Derrick. I am terribly honoured and flattered to have been nominated for such an award. The thought that I may , from time to time, bring something to anybody’s morning is humbling and moves me deeply. I expected very little from this blog, in fact, but am amazed everyday by my fellow bloggers’ visits and reactions, as well as I am by what my fellow bloggers bring with generosity to the blogosphere. I have to say, however, that as much honoured as I am by your nomination, I made the decision, some time ago, to be an award-free blog, for not other reason that I am just very happy to share. If I were to be awarded something though, the « Sunshine award » would definitely be the one I would be the most proud of. I’ll be happy to keep this nomination between you and me and will cherish it (a little selfishly). Many thanks Derrick, I enjoy your « rambling » every day 🙂
Thank you Sylvie. Actually I think you are right.
I do not think there is right or wrong
