Bon dia, dilluns passat, 7 de novembre, va morir el cantautor i poeta canadenc Leonard Cohen. La seva mort no es va donar a conèixer als mitjans fins el dijous a la nit i, després d'aquests dies, volem retre-li homenatge al blog.
Us donem a conèixer un dels seus poemes, I long to hold some lady, de The Spice Box of Earth i us pengem un vídeo amb una de les seves cançons més conegudes, Hallellujah.
I Long to Hold Some Lady
I long to hold some lady
For my love is far away,
And will not come tomorrow
And was not here today.
There is no flesh so perfect
As on my lady's bone,
And yet it seems so distant
When I am all alone:
As though she were a masterpiece
In some castled town,
That pilgrims come to visit
And priests to copy down.
Alas, I cannot travel
To a love I have so deep
Or sleep too close beside
A love I want to keep.
But I long to hold some lady,
For flesh is warm and sweet.
Cold skeletons go marching
Each night beside my feet.
Leonard Cohen, de The Spice Box of Earth
Leonard Cohen, Hallellujah
