RITA AND THE RIFFLE Rita by Mahmoud Darwish
Between Rita and my eyes
There is a rifle
And whoever knows Rita
Kneels and plays
To the divinity in those honey-colored eyes
And I kissed Rita
When she was young
And I remember how she approached
And how my arm covered the loveliest of braids
And I remember Rita
The way a sparrow remembers its stream
Ah, Rita
Between us there are a million sparrows and images
And many a rendezvous
Fired at by a rifle

Rita's name was a feast in my mouth
Rita's body was a wedding in my blood

Sur cette terre, il y a ce qui mérite vie : sur cette terre, se tient la maîtresse de la terre, mère des préludes et des épilogues. On l’appelait Palestine. On l’appelle désormais Palestine. Ma Dame, je mérite la vie, car tu es ma Dame.

Sur cette terreSur cette terre, il y a ce qui mérite vie : l’hésitation d’avril, l’odeur du pain à l’aube, les opinions d’une femme sur les hommes, les écrits d’Eschyle, le commencement de l’amour, l’herbe sur une pierre, des mères debout sur un filet de flûte et la peur qu’inspire le soulèvement aux conquérants.

A Historical Perspective of Chanukah - 21 au 29 décembre 2008

Chanukah is the wintertime Jewish Festival of Lights, a holiday that celebrates religious freedom and national independence. The story of Chanukah dates back more than 2,000 year ago, to the land of Judea, where the Jewish people were being ruled by Greek kings. One particularly brutal king was Antiochus, who forced the Jews to turn their backs on their monotheistic faith and worship instead the Greek gods.
