T-O map from Etymologiae, by Isidore of Seville (died 636)



7-й век. Удивительно, если повернуть эту карту на 90 градусов по часовой стрелке, то раположение континентов совпадет с современным изображениями.

хайку. Кобаяши Исса. Kobayashi Issa 1818 [Jul. 9th, 2008|02:16 pm]

薮超の乞食笛よ鶯よ
yabu goshi no koijiki fue yo uguisu yo

wafting through trees
a beggar's flute
a nightingale's song

translated by David Lanoue


сочится сквозь деревья
флейта нищего
песня соловья



Тут надо передать ощущение звука, плывущего по воздуху. Я пытаюсь это сделать словом "парит", но это, по-моему, несколько не то. lingvo.ru предлагает "доносится" - не то. Мне нравится "дуновенье", но тогда надо все хайку перекраивать, иначе в первой строчке получится нелепая рифма/ритм "дуновенья сквозь деревья" :)

Mytishchi is the second-largest city in Russia and is a suburb of Moscow. The Atlant organization just built a new 10,000-seat arena.


Я и не подозревал, что за последний год Мытищи стали вторым по величине городом России. :)

Just heard on longnow a parable about a tribe and their wise leader:
There once lived a tribe of blind people. And they were governed by a wise man who was also blind. One day the wise man had a revelation about a great danger that threatened the survival of his tribe. He called everybody up for a council and, in his gravest voice, said, "My people, we all are in terrible danger. We live on the edge of a precipice. Run for your lives!"
