I've seen a poetry meme going on on flist so here's a famous song by Gilles Vigneault:


Quand vous mourrez de nos amours
J'irai planter dans le jardin
Fleur à fleurir de beau matin
Moitié métal, moitié papier
Pour me blesser un peu le pied
Mourez de mort très douce
Qu'une fleur pousse

Quand vous mourrez de nos amours
J'en ferai sur l'air de ce temps
Chanson chanteuse pour sept ans
Vous l'entendrez, vous l'apprendrez
Et vos lèvres m'en seront gré
Mourez de mort très lasse
Que je la fasse

Quand vous mourrez de nos amours
J'en ferai deux livres si beaux
Qu'ils vous serviront de tombeau
Et m'y coucherai à mon tour
Car je mourrai le même jour
Mourez de mort très tendre
À les attendre

Quand vous mourrez de nos amours
J'irai me pendre avec la clef
Au crochet des bonheurs bâclés
Et les chemins par nous conquis
Nul ne saura jamais par qui
Mourez de mort exquise
Que je le dise

Quand vous mourrez de nos amours
Si trop peu vous reste de moi
Ne me demandez pas pourquoi
Dans les mensonges qui suivraient
Nous ne serions ni beaux ni vrais
Mourez de mort très vive
Que je vous suive

And here is Rufus Wainwright's live version, because I haven't posted Rufus vid for a while and it's always great to hear him (mom and aunt did the backing vocals, as it was recorded a couple of years before Kate McGarrigle died)

First off, flist, if you don't watch Caprica you should, it's the best thing you can find on tv these days, period. Not many shows are that ambitious and creative. And there are pretty men!

As for "There is another sky", I don't know where to begin for there's so much to review, so I will just say that the episode rocked big time. The title was beautifully chosen, the acting was perfect, every scene was flawless and powerful. We didn't get much Graystone goodness, but when we did, it was superb. All the reservations I had before, I didn't have this time, perhaps because the things that didn't quite work for me (the STO stuff mostly)was left out here. Also I think that Zoe is good for me in small doses only...

My only complaint is about the sequence with the characters introducing themselves before the opening scene, instead of the usual "previously on...". I could live without that.

ETA2: There's a poetry meme going on that I saw on prophecygirrl 's journal:

If you see this, and are of a mind to, post a poem in your LJ.

So here's "There is another sky" by Emily Dickinson:

There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields—
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

LJ ate my post!

I've been writing a review on the two last episodes of Lost for an hour, and everything is gone! I'm so frustrated and angry right now it's not even funny.

I digressed a lot and was in the middle of interpretating Lost through the Ultraist doctrine, in which the art of metaphor rules, and drawing parallels with Borges' works that are filled with miracles and fantasmagories when my post vanished.
