Overrated authors : Jacques Prévert

 



A long time ago, I started a column, which was later abandoned for reasons unknown, about boring and overrated books, and sometimes an authentic huge load of rubbish.

I would like to revive it now, given the enormous number of absolutely useless authors circulating.

I would like to bring the French poet Jacques Prévert and his book "Paroles" to the forefront.
I think that Prévert is responsible for significantly lowering the intellectual quotient of the masses.

My judgment is limited to this, probably his most famous book: Paroles. If this is what constitutes poetry, I am not surprised by the decline of contemporary poetry, which aligns perfectly with narrative.

It is said that people read little. People are right not to read if these are the authors they are expected to read. Below is the most illustrative example: Pay attention to the final, the conclusion of a great poet, for sure :- )

POUR TOI MON AMOUR

Je suis allé au marché aux oiseaux
Et j'ai acheté des oiseaux
Pour toi

Je suis allé au marché aux fleurs

Et j'ai acheté des chaînes
De lourdes chaînes
Pour toi
mon amour

Et puis je suis allé au marché aux esclaves
Et je t'ai cherchée
Mais je ne t'ai pas trouvée
mon amour

Fasting to reconnect your "Self" to your body

If there is a discrepancy between yourself and the body, between what you are and what you don't feel you are in your body, then fast, because there is excess to remove in the body. Through the stratifications of fat, the material that alienates you is deposited in the body. Removing decades of fat you remove the "Self" from its impediments to be reconnected with the body. Start thinking about fasting and wait for the right moment. Your body has its own indicators; it will signal when it is the right time to start fasting. Fasting is not a mere physical fact. It is changing the spirit of a time that has become stranger to us and that lives in us in order to alienate us to ourselves. Impossible to fast, without implying a change of the inner spirit. Those who fasted in the Old Testament did so to invoke great changes in life. Jesus himself fasted for forty nights and forty days and after fasting he was ready and strong enough to resist the devil and was ripe for his minist...

The temple of youth

  The yearning for death is but a swift race seeking to curtail our tormented pace. There lies a sacredness in thy yearning toward the highest good wildly striving. Toss the gaze heavenward and grasp the truth! In death, we lie upon and cast the temple of youth.

Guardando l'Amore di una madre con le sue figlie

Siete fatte della stessa pasta Di stesso sangue e spirito apposta Create - e vivete il mondo unite. Solo voi vostra lingua capite. Io curioso vi guardo lontano. Altro universo vivo io e so invano di non essere voi e mi stupisco, ma la materia vostra oh capisco! E' fatta di altra tessitura, la mia invece è sfilacciatura, e in altro spazio e tempo ascoso sto relegato triste, invidioso.
