They inspired me to       study the so-called "language of birds" invented by the sufi poets of        Persia and brought to France by the troubadours back from the crusades.        Rimbaud's poems can be read one thousand times like as many puzzles: by        joining the pieces together following various rules, all found in        medieval literature, especially poetry and alchemy, you actually        discover hiddent sentences in either French or Latin. For example in "Le       loup criait" and "Le Dormeur du Val", if you extract all the letters and       sort them by frequency, you get the anagram of the Latin sentence: "O        cano cognem lupus chordæ" (I sing and know the heart of the wolf).              Back in the 15th century, François Villon has been the last Parisian        /trouvère/. He wrote many poems in the Parisian slang of the time called        "jaron", a thugs dialect for which we have no translation today. The        French word for thug is "voyou" and for slang is "argot".       So Villon was the thug of slang or "le voyou de l'argotique". In other        words: "Le voyant de l'art gothique", the seer of the gothic art. He was       consecrated to Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral and his poetry is a sort of       comment of all the symbolism of this building, or a verbal equivalent of       it that he achieved in his Testament, the finest piece of French        medieval poetry that he wrote in his prison cell until he was hanged to        death.              In French the greatest specialist of spiritual symbolic was René Guénon.        In English I'd advise reading Joseph Campbell. But don't miss Guénon        even if he sounds very dogmatic.              --        The imagination is not a State: it is the Human existence itself."       William Blake              http://rvgmusic.bandcamp.com/       http://www.jamendo.com/fr/user/RVG95       http://bluedusk.blogspot.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
