WORK

"Quentin wanted to rob a currency exchange booth, but couldn't get the money he wanted, so he asked for directions to the nearest bank. When the police receive a tip that someone is planning to rob a bank, Quentin rushes into a cinema where Ice Age is showing. That's why he got caught, because he sat down to watch the movie."

Extract from the description of the French film Shut Up

Even our innermost secrets cannot be hidden all the time. The eye sees all things and observes all things.

Sometimes we are simply speechless, and sometimes we are silenced.

The truth sometimes becomes a lie over time and vice versa. Perspectives and circumstances change.

I am the son of King Gog of Magog

I am the son of King Gog of Magog,
I'm banging doors and walls to no avail -
yet I must ask this question as prologue:
may I weep in the grim Carpathian vale?

I came along Verecke's famous path,
old Magyar tunes still tear into my chest -
will it arouse your Lordships' righteous wrath
as I burst in with new songs from the West?'

Pour in my ears your molten liquid lead,
let me become the new Vazul of songs -
let me not hear the new songs you have bred:
Come, tread me down in furious, evil throngs!

But to the end, tortured, expecting nothing,
the song keeps soaring on its new-found wings:
even if cursed by a hundred Founding Fathers -
triumphant, new, Magyar, and true it rings.

Endre Ady
(Adam Makkai translate)

The art of movement, the constant and perfect cycle, is the development of life itself.
