La Chronique Ascendante des Ducs de Normandie
Mil chent et soisante anz out de temps et d'espace
puiz que Dex en la Virge descendi par sa grace,
quant un clerc de Caen, qui out non Mestre Vace,
s'entremist de l'estoire de Rou et de s'estrasce,
qui conquist Normendie, qui qu'en poist ne qui place,
contre l'orgueil de France, qui encor les menasce,
que nostre roi Henri la congnoissë et sace.
Qui gaires n'a de rentes ne gaires n'en porcache ;
mez avarice a frait a largesce sa grace,
ne peut lez mainz ouvrir, plus sont gelez que glace, .
ne sai ou est reposte, ne truiz train ne trace;
qui ne soit losengier ne encort liu ne place,
a plusors i fait on la cue lovinace.
Ce ne fu mie el temps Virgile ne Orace
ne el temps Alixandre ne Cesar ne Estace,
lores avoit largesce vertu et efficace.
Du roi Henri voil faire ceste premiere page,
qui prist Alianor, dame de haut parage,
Dex doinst a ambedeuls de bien faire courage!
Ne me font mie rendre a la court le musage,

A Rhymed Lesson (Urania)
Yes, dear Enchantress,—Âwandering far and long,
In realms unperfumed by the breath of song,
Where flowers ill-flavored shed their sweets around,
And bitterest roots invade the ungenial ground,
Whose gems are crystals from the Epsom mine,
Whose vineyards flow with antimonial wine,
Whose gates admit no mirthful feature in,
Save one gaunt mocker, the Sardonic grin,
Whose pangs are real, not the woes of rhyme
That blue-eyed misses warble out of time;—Â
Truant, not recreant to thy sacred claim,
Older by reckoning, but in heart the same,
Freed for a moment from the chains of toil,
I tread once more thy consecrated soil;
Here at thy feet my old allegiance own,
Thy subject still, and loyal to thy throne!
My dazzled glance explores the crowded hall;
Alas, how vain to hope the smiles of all!
I know my audience. All the gay and young

Those who danced where thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.

No exile at the South Pole or on the summit of Mont Blanc separates us more effectively from others than the practice of a hidden vice.

I was making a film called The White Tower at the foot of Mont Blanc - the one thing I learned from that experience was that it's more difficult to go down a mountain than to go up. A lot of people don't realize that.

Cantarai d'aquest trobadors
Cantarai d'aquestz trobadors
que canton de maintas colors
e.l pieier cuida dir mout gen;
mas a cantar lor er aillors
q'entrametre.n vei cen pastors
c'us non sap qe.s mont'o.s dissen.
(I shall sing of the troubadours
who sing in every kind of way;
and many think the worst of them.
But I see a hundred shepherds,
and don't know if they are going
up or going down.)

Elle m'a Attrapé
Elle m’a attrapé avant que je ne tombe
Elle m’a réveillé par la Chaleur de son âme
Elle m’a envouté par la Beauté de son corps
Elle m’a fait Apôtre de sa Mélodie
Elle m’a fait Hôte de son Mont de Vénus
Alors,
Je lui fabrique des bisous canadairs
Je lui parle de nos mémoires
Je lui largue des lettres pour trouver nos mots
Je lui ouvre mon cœur pour renverser nos maux
Je lui dédie ce sentiment qu’est l’Amour

Age of Distraction
Life busy, accompanying Distractions
Modern technology are addictive attractions
Preoccupation there, concentration lacking
your precious time this self indulgence hacking
gratifications costing your work efficiency
Other times family sensing deficiency
Purpose of life lost & astray
Digital dieting is call for the day
Cue is prioritizing needs and wants
Productive engagement necessary to ascent this Mont
Balancing the family, work n modern life
Existence much wholesome, wellness thrives.

Frontal...
and there was this abbot of
mont serrat
who used an unknown number
and texted me the worst story about
myself, which he believes to be
this sort of hook, line and sinker
his lips entangled in the
falsity of
the pleasures of the rumor
and i simply read and afterward deleted
what must necessarily belong
to him
in a little way the rivers get crumpled
but the rains flatten out what creases are there
now, i listen only to myself
and see the sheen of my own light
to myself i am true
to no other must i be responsible.

Hercule
Oeta, mont ennobli par cette nuit ardente,
Quand l'infidèle époux d'une épouse imprudente
Reçut de son amour un présent trop jaloux,
Victime du centaure immolé par ses coups;
Il brise tes forêts: ta cime épaisse et sombre
En un bûcher immense amoncelle sans nombre
Les sapins résineux que son bras a ployés.
Il y porte la flamme; il monte, sous ses pieds
Étend du vieux lion la dépouille héroïque,
Et l'oeil au ciel, la main sur la massue antique,
Attend sa récompense et l'heure d'être un dieu.
Le vent souffle et mugit. Le bûcher tout en feu
Brille autour du héros, et la flamme rapide
Porte au palais divin l'âme du grand Alcide!
