Here is the task I cannot finish. Here, the words I will not speak. Here, the black pool, in the storm cloud. Here, the blind spot in the glance of an eye. {-Yves Bonnefoy, from "The Clouds"}
بونفوا من أقرب الشعراء إلى قلبي، قرأته مترجما إلى العربية بواسطة أدونيس، وما أزال كل فترة أعاود قراءته من جديد، وفي كل مرة أنبهر. " الكلمات كمثل السماء اليوم، شيء ما يتجمع، يتبدد. الكلمات كمثل السماء، لا نهائية لكن كلها فجأة في حفرة الماء، الصغيرة." أشكرك سعادة البروفيسور على هذه المحاضرة القصيرة والعميقة.
Professor Schulte, It is great to hear your voice again. I took your class back in the 90s with the text: Continental Short Stories which opened up a new world for me. Thanks for the new homework. I was reading The Late Poems of Meng Chiao in particular "Cold Creek" translated by David Hinton and was loving the challenge like listening to Schoenberg, but I needed a framework in which to operate. I could discern the "atmosphere" but was too focused on meaning. Then I thought of who I wished I could consult about my predicament and I happened upon this video! Synchronicity! Thank you. Discerning the associations of words and images is enough and better actually. Best wishes.
Thank you sir. God bless america

الكلمات كمثل السماء،
لا نهائية
لكن كلها فجأة في حفرة الماء، الصغيرة."
