The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot (read by Tom O'Bedlam)

(Read by: Tom O'Bedlam)

"الطريق كلّه - للشاعر: تشارلز بوكوفسكي - ترجمة: أوس خليل" 


إذا كنت عازما على التجربة، أمضي الطريق كلّه
و إلّا، لا تبدأ مطلقا.
قد يعني هذا فقدان صديقات حميمات، زوجات، أقارب، وربما عقلك.
قد يعني هذا عدم تناول الطعام لثلاثة أيام أو أربع.
قد يعني التجمّد على دكّة حديقة عامّة.
قد يعني السجن.
قد يعني السخرية.
قد يعني الإستهزاء \العزلة.
العزلة هي الهدية.
الجميع سيختبرون قدرتك على التحمّل، وكم تريد حقًا أن تفعل ذلك.
وانت، ستفعلها، على الرغم من الرفض وأسوأ الإحتمالات.
وستكون أفضل من أي شيء يمكنك تخيّله.
إذا كنت عازما على التجربة، أمضي الطريق كلّه.
ليس هناك شعور يضاهي هذا.
ستكون وحيدًا مع الآلهه.
والليالي سوف تشتعل بالنار.
سوف تروّض الحياة مباشرة لضحكة مثالية.
إنها المعركة الجيدة الوحيدة هناك.


"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."


- Charles Bukowski, Factotum

"for those you trust
for those who care for you
take these hands
and reach out to the sun
our souls are freed
love feels no burden
for those you trust
for those who care for you"

So Now- By Charles Bukowski (read By Tom O'Bedlam)

A Smile To Remember
we had goldfish and they circled around and around
in the bowl on the table near the heavy drapes
covering the picture window and
my mother, always smiling, wanting us all
to be happy, told me, "be happy Henry!"
and she was right: it's better to be happy if you
can
but my father continued to beat her and me several times a week while
raging inside his 6-foot-two frame because he couldn't
understand what was attacking him from within.
my mother, poor fish,
wanting to be happy, beaten two or three times a
week, telling me to be happy: "Henry, smile!
why don't you ever smile?"
and then she would smile, to show me how, and it was the
saddest smile I ever saw
one day the goldfish died, all five of them,
they floated on the water, on their sides, their
eyes still open,
and when my father got home he threw them to the cat
there on the kitchen floor and we watched as my mother
smiled
