Home         Back        Next Days of Kindness Greece is a good place to look at the moon, isn't it You can read by moonlight You can read on the terrace You can see a face as you saw it when you were young There was good light then oil lamps and candles that floated on a cork in olive oil What I loved in my old life I haven't forgotten It lives in my spine Marianne and the child The days of kindness It rises in my spine and it manifests as tears I pray that loving memory exists for them too the precious ones I overthrew for an education in the world                                     Leonard Cohen, Hydra 1985 So long Marianne - en norsk bok jeg leser, (fikk den til jul av en god veninde fra Haugesund) om Marianne Ihlen (f 1935) som reiser til Hydra i 60-årene med Axel Jensen da hun var 22 år og mer eller mindre uskyldig. Etter en god stund treffer hun Leonard Cohen og får et forhold til ham - og lenger er jeg ikke kommet! Herlig bok, Hydra på 60-tallet og mye mer! www.spartacus.no - 9 788243 004481 Sangen Leonard skrev til henne er nederest på siden her;  Song long Marianne - I am reading about Marianne Ihlen (b.1935) (got it for Christmas from a good friend) who moved to Hydra in the sixties, with Axel Jensen a Norwegian writer, when she was 22 years old and more or less innocent. After a long while she meets Leonard Cohen, and had a relationship with him - and that's how fare I have got! Hydra in the sixties and much more! www.spartacus.no - 9 788243 004481 The song that Leonard wrote to her is down on this page;   "ΣΑΓΑΝΑΚΙ ΛΑΧΑΝΙΚΩΝ" Grønnsaks saganaki; Lett stek forskjellige fingertupp tykke grønnsaker, som paprika, squasj, tomater, purre, hvitløk og salt.  Til slutt finhakket sopp, timian og litt vin.  Ta dette over i en ildfast form, hell over finstrimlet kasseri ost, eller annen ost som smelter, og stekes i ovnen til den har blitt litt gylden på toppen. La den stå et par minutter får den serveres. Nyyydelig - sa de på frokost TV! Her kommer litt greske ord, jeg blir så fasinert, - og så er det ord som jeg kjenner igjen men ikke husker betydningen av. Jeg har alltid forsøkt å lese alle skilt på veien og butikker. Det siste ordet her nede har jeg sett ofte, men aldri tatt meg tid til å lete opp! (Min bil har aldri trengt "antalaktika" eller er det "adalaktika"? En annen bok sier "andalaktika") - ti na kanoume?   Vegetable saganaki; Fry light different cubes, like a finger tip, of vegetables, as paprika, squash, tomatoes, spring onion, garlic. Later add salt, mushrooms, thyme and a dash of wine. Put it over in an over proof dish, pull very fine stripes of kasseri cheese over it, or a cheese who melts, and in to the warm oven until it gets a golden top. Leave it a few minutes before serving. Delicious - they said on TV! Some Greek words, they fascinate me, - also some words that I recognize but did not know the meaning of. I have always tried to read signs on the road and on shops. The last word down here I have seen often, but did never bother to look it up! (My car never needed "antalaktika" eller er det "adalaktika"? Another book says "andalaktika")  - ti na kanomai? το σαχανάκι liten stekepanne ofte med 2 ører   small frying pan often with 2 ears τό λαχανικό τά λαχανικά grønnsak   grønnsakene vegetable   vegetables τό λάχανο kål (hode) cabbage       τό λαχεïο lotteri lottery, raffle       η λαχτάρα lengsel anxiety, emotion, longing λαχταρώ lengte etter I yearn, long for       άνοστος   smakløs tasteless άνοσος imun mot sykdom immune from disease η ανοχή toleranse toleration, forbearance   η άνοιξη vår spring       τα ανταλλακτικά   reservedeler   spare parts   ***** YouTube Vidaki; So Long Marianne by Leonard Cohen   HostGator.com Web Hosting Home         Back        Next Mail me at til@ skopelitissa.com   All content © Skopelítissa.com  2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009
