ROMAN PICTURES

Being in a gloomy mood I looked through a file with some photographs I took one evening in Rome, some months ago. I had forgotten about them, though the solitary feeling they provided harmonizes well with the grey and rainy dusk lingering outside my window here in Hässleholm. 

I began taking the photos while I walked down to our magazine where I often sit and write, there I ended up looking at some pictures in the art books I have laying around, before I decided for an evening stroll in the neighbourhood, watching the grafitti. A perishable art form that gradually disappears, as I hope my melancholy mood eventually will do as well. When I came home I gave our fish some food and went to bed.

Some friends of mine use to complain that my blog entries are too wordy, so here I give you one with almost no words at all:  

BLOG LIST

Books are quietly resting in my bookshelves, year after year. When I look at them I wonder where and why I bought them, one day I will read them. When I few a weeks ago, travelled to Prague I brought with me One, a novel by David Karp, without any other thought than "now it may be the right...
I mina bokhyllor står böcker stillatigande år ut och år in. När jag ser dem undrar jag när jag köpte dem, alltmedan jag tänker att en dag skall jag läsa dem. När jag för några veckor sedan reste till Prag tog jag, utan någon annan tanke än att ”nu kan det vara dags”, fram David Karps...
With good reason it happens quite often that my generally chic and fashion conscious wife complains about the way I dress, as well as my general appearance. Just before we are going out together she tends to give me an apologetic glance and point out that I am dressed like a hobo and that my hair...
Med goda skäl händer det allt som oftast att min eleganta och modemedvetna hustru klagar på mitt sätt att klä mig och på mitt utseende. Precis innan vi skall gå ut tillsammans ger hon mig ofta en beklagande blick och påpekar att jag är klädd som en luffare, att håret står åt alla håll ”som hos den...
Sometime during the third century AD the North African Terentianus Maurus wrote four books about “letters, syllables and metrics”. Most of the content of these books are probably forgotten by now, aside from the quote habent sua fata libelli, "books have their destiny". Actually Maurus...
Någon gång på tvåhundratalet skrev Terentianus Maurus fyra böcker Om bokstäver, stavelser och versmått. Det mesta från de där böckerna är väl numera bortglömt, bortsett från citatet habent sua fata libelli, ”böcker har sina öden”. Egentligen skrev Maurus inte det, utan pro captu...
When I a few days ago indolently watched TV I ended with a rather insane science fiction movie called Pandorum. It was about how 60,000 people in 2174 had been induced to hyper sleep and sent off on a 123-year-long trip to a planet called Tanis, reckoned to be similar to Earth. Every...
När jag för någon dag sedan slötittade på TV fick jag se en tämligen vansinnig Science Fiction film kallad Pandorum. Den handlade om hur 60 000 människor år 2174 hade blivit försänkta i hypersleep och sänts iväg på en 123 års lång resa till en Tellusliknande planet vid namn...
Today two years have passed since I started writing my blog. It was my sister Annika, who suggested I start blogging and while rain poured outside the train window on my way to the school I was working in, one hour´s ride to the north, I rewrote an article refused by the local press. That is now...
Idag är det två år sedan jag började skriva min blogg. Det var min syster Annika som föreslog att jag skulle börja blogga och med ösregn utanför tågfönstret på väg till skolan jag arbetade på i Växjö skrev jag om en artikel jag fått refuserad av både Sydsvenskan och Norra Skåne. Det...
