June 30th was David Joly’s birthday, I don’t know how old he is. I sent a birthday message to him via FB with a phrase of “I miss you!” David quickly reacted and said “I miss you, too.” We met about 12 to 15 years ago in Kamakura/ He stayed at our then Kamakura house in Hase for three days. It was such a fond memory, as he and other guy from XX were young, smart and funny. They were so nice in nature.

He is talking about how to plant squash in soft sweet voice, though I cannot understand any words in French, except “plastic!” and Gabriella’s “Merci beaucoup.”

I don’t know why he wore this on his birthday, but maybe protect himself from bugs in the field and from Covid 19!

The funniest conversation I remember was that he said his Japanese was MINUS 10 to 20, when I said my English was not good (or poor).

South Sudan speaker steps down

Makana resigns under pressure from fellow MPs for blocking efforts to fight corruption and mismanagement.Monday 09/12/2019

Corruption is rampant in South Sudan

JUBA – South Sudan’s parliamentary speaker has resigned after lawmakers threatened to impeach him for blocking efforts to fight corruption and mismanagement, local media reported Monday.

Anthony Lino Makana was accused by fellow MPs of failing to present auditor-general and anti-corruption reports to parliament and blocking lawmakers from summing ministers for questioning. He was also accused of approving a loan of $400 million (361 million euros) from Afrexim Bank without bringing it first to the house as recommended by law, in a motion tabled by lawmakers who demanded he resign. “The reason for tendering my resignation is an act of deep and sincere respect to your leadership (of the ruling SPLM party) for you requested me to do so,” Makana said in comments carried by South Sudan Broadcasting Radio on Monday. Corruption is rampant in South Sudan, which achieved independence in 2011 and plunged into civil war two years later.

“We’re out / to repair the future.” The poet Claudia Rankine. — Claudia Rankine

Weather

On a scrap of paper in the archive is written
I have forgotten my umbrella. Turns out
in a pandemic everyone, not just the philosopher,
is without. We scramble in the drought of information
held back by inside traders. Drop by drop. Face

covering? No, yes. Social distancing? Six feet
under for underlying conditions. Black.
Just us and the blues kneeling on a neck
with the full weight of a man in blue.
Eight minutes and forty-six seconds.
In extremis, I can’t breathe gives way

to asphyxiation, to giving up this world,
and then mama, called to, a call
to protest, fire, glass, say their names, say
their names, white silence equals violence,
the violence of again, a militarized police
force teargassing, bullets ricochet, and civil
unrest taking it, burning it down. Whatever
contracts keep us social compel us now
to disorder the disorder. Peace. We’re out

to repair the future. There’s an umbrella
by the door, not for yesterday but for the weather
that’s here. I say weather but I mean
a form of governing that deals out death
and names it living. I say weather but I mean
a November that won’t be held off. This time
nothing, no one forgotten. We are here for the storm
that’s storming because what’s taken matters.

Born in 1963 in Kingston, Jamaica, poet Claudia Rankine earned a BA at Williams College and an MFA at Columbia University. Rankine has published several collections of poetry, including Citizen: An American Lyric (2014), a finalist for the National Book Award and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry, the PEN Center USA Poetry Award, and the Forward poetry prize; Don’t Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric (2004); and Nothing in Nature is Private (1994), which won the Cleveland State Poetry Prize.

発音

Quand le bien-aimé reviendra Près de sa languissante amie, Le printemps alors renaîtra, L’herbe sera toujours fleurie. Mais je regarde, Hélas, hélas! Le bien-aimé ne revient pas.	When the beloved will return Near his languid だるい friend, Spring will be reborn, The grass will always be in bloom. But I look, Alas, alas! The beloved does not return.
Oiseaux, vous chanterez bien mieux Quand du bien-aimé la voix tendre Vous peindra ses transports, ses feux Car c’est à lui de vous l’apprendre. Mais j’écoute. Hélas, hélas! Le bien-aimé ne chante pas.	Birds, you will sing much better When the beloved’s tender voice You will paint its transport, its lights Because it is up to him to teach you. But I listen. Alas, alas! The beloved does not sing.
Écho que j’ai laissé cent fois De mes regrets, de ma tristesse Il revient, peut-être sa voix Te demande aussi sa maîtresse Paix! il appelle. Hélas, hélas! Le bien-aimé n’appelle pas.	Echo that I left a hundred times From my regrets, from my sadness He comes back, maybe his voice Also ask you his mistress Peace! he calls. Alas, alas! The beloved does not call.

最愛の人が帰ってきたら
彼女の気だるい友人の近くで、
そして春は生まれ変わる、
草はいつも花を咲かせます。
でも、見てみると、
ああ、ああ！
最愛の人は帰ってこない。

鳥たちよ、あなたはもっと上手に歌うでしょう
愛する人の優しい声が聞こえたら
あなたはその輸送手段や火災を描くでしょう
あなたに教えるかどうかは彼次第だからです。
しかし、私は聞きます。
ああ、ああ！
愛する人は歌わない。

百回残した残響
私の後悔のこと、私の悲しみのこと
彼が戻ってくる、おそらく彼の声
愛人も求めます
平和！彼は呼びかけます。
ああ、ああ！
最愛の人は呼びかけはしません。

♫ O leggiadri Occhi Belli

作曲者不明の古い歌曲。19世紀のイタリアの音楽学者アレッサンドロ・パリゾッティが17～18世紀のオペラや宗教曲のアリアを編曲・編集した「Arie antiche」を基礎として声楽家・音楽評論家・作曲家の畑中良輔が監修、様々な作曲家のイタリア語声楽作品を収録した「イタリア歌曲集」に掲載されています。

Renata Tebaldi

冒頭のCon spirito という表示は「生き生きと」「元気に」ぐらいの意味。4分の3拍子で、中世の教会旋法のような響きがします。つまり現代の長調や短調とはちょっと違った感じがするんです。この曲の場合、楽譜上はg-Moll（高声用）で書かれていますが、第6音のesがしばしばeになり、終止音の伴奏部もピカルディ風に第3音のbがhになります。短調とも長調とも言い難い、木漏れ日のような陰影が古典的な味わいを醸し出しています。

O leggiadri occhi belli, occhi miei cari, vivi raggi del ciel sereni e chiari, poiché tanto bramate di vedermi languire, di vedermi morire, occhi belli che adoro, mirate ch’io moro.	ああ、愛らしく美しい瞳、いとしい瞳、生き生きと光を放つ、澄んだ明るい天の光よそんなに見たいのか、私がやつれ果て死んでしまうのを。憧れの美しい瞳よ、それなら、私が死ぬのを見るがいい。
O serene mie luci, o luci amate, tanto crude al mio Amor quanto spietate, poiché tanto godete della fiamma ch’io sento, del mio grave tormento, deh miratemi un poco e gioite al mio foco.	おお、晴れやかな光、おお愛する瞳、お前は私の愛に対して何と残酷だろう。そんなに楽しいのか、私の感じる熱い想いと私の深い苦しみが。それなら、少しは私の方を見て、炎が私を焦がすのを喜ぶがいい。
