nima's bust نیما یوشیج ١٢٩٦-١٣٣٨

نیما:خانه ام ابری ست 

شعر با فضای ابری و دنیای خراب آغاز می شود که

در زمانه ی ظلم و نابرابری ها  تصویر رایج شعر نیما و شعر نیمایی است .نوازنده یی که رفته است مظهر شعر ها ،آواها و هنرها به نظر می آید .بعد ابر که می با رد آفتاب می شود و نوازنده ی بیدار همچنان راه خود را در پیش دارد  و  درآن  راه پیش می رودزیرا هدف او که والایی زندگی و هستی است  ارزش هایش را حفظ کرده و هراسی از ابر و باد و باران ندارد .و آوای او آوایی ما ناست .این شعر در سال ١٣٣١ و در زمان آزادی های حکومت دکتر محمد مصدق سروده شده است  

از یادداشت هایی بر حاشیه ی کتاب نیما -

خانه ام ابری ست 

یکسره روی زمین ابری ست با آن 

از فراز گردنه خرد و خراب و ماست 

باد می پیچد 

یکسره دنیا خراب از اوست 

و حواس .من 

ای نی زن که تو را آوای نی برده ست دور از ره کجایی؟

خانه ام ابری ست اما 

ابر بارانش گرفته ست 

در خیال روزهای روشنم کز دست رفتندم 

من به روی آفتابم 

می برم در ساحت دریا نظاره 

و همه دنیا خراب و خورد از بدست 

و به ره نی زن که دائم می نوازد نی در این دنیای ابراندود 

راه خود را دارد اندر پیش

NIMA: MY HOUSE IS CLOUDY

MY HOUSE IS CLOUDY

AND CLOUDY IS THE WHOLE WORLD

FROM THE MOUNTAIN PASS
WIND'S WHIRLING DOWNWARD

SHATTERED,DRUNKARD AND RUINED

AND THE WHOLE WORLD
RUINED WITH IT

AND MY SENSES TOO!

O REED PALAYER
WHOSE REED SONG
HAS TAKEN YOU AFAR

WHERE ARE YOU?

MY HOUSE IS CLOUDY
BUT CLOUDS ARE BEARING RAIN








THINKING OF CLEAR DAYS I LOST

I STARE AT THE SEA
TOWARD THE SUN

AND ALL THE WORLD
IS SHATTERED AND RUINED
BY THE WIND

AND ON THE ROAD











THE REED PLAYER
PLAYING FOREVER
IN THIS CLOUDY WORLD

GOING HIS OWN WAY

IN THIS CLOUDY WORLD

POW WOW
EAGLES ARE CIRCLING IN SKY
IT ALWAYS BEGIN WITH A WELCOME

IN FIVE SEASONS OF THE YEAR
THE LANGUAGE SURVIVES.

KASHAN OF HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHYکاشان

پیروزان پارسی , ابو لو لو ,که در کاشان آرمیده است 

کاشان 

آتشکده نیاسر کاشان که در زمان اردشیر ساسانی ساخته شده 

احتمالن از نخستین آتشکده های زرتشتی است 

که گنبد آن پس از تعمیر به شکل گنبد های اسلامی باز سازی شده است 

این چهار تا قی ساسانی مثل چهار تاقی سلماس و بر خلاف نقش رستم و نقش رجب بر روی تپه  و به دور از آب ساخته شده است 

borujerdis' house with plastar work and stucco works of fruits and flowers,also wall carvings and gatherings of glorious tinted glasses or mogharnas in frames of broken geology and shattered shapes.
there are always moving lights and shadows in a perpetual play of hide and seek.

KASHAN LIKE ESFAHAN AND SHIRAZ OR TABRIZ AND TEHRAN OF RECENT ONE OR TWO HUNDRED YEARS,IS NOT ONLY A GEOGRAPHICAL NAME AND ENTITY BUT ALSO A SWEET STORY AND A LIVING HISTORY.
AS I WROTE IN MY PERSIAN SONGS,POEMS OF IRAN,VOL.2:
پس کاشان تشنه را به چشمه ی فین سپردیم
با برج و باد گیرها و کویر
و اندرونی و بیرونی خانه های کا شی و عقرب
 پیروزان پارسی
به بخشیدن قصو ر گل
در باغ قمصری بود
با گل و گلاب و قالی
در گردش جوی ها
باری شگفت
بر شانه های زیگورات سیلک
تا گرد آسمان می کشید
و باغ فین شاهد می شد
بر خون امیر

SO WE LEFT THE THIRSTY KASHAN
FOR FOUNTAIN OF FIN
AND ORCHARD AND POOLS
A PERSIAN PARADISE
-READ PARDIS PARSI-
WITH WIND TOWERS TOWARDS DESERT
AND INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF
HOUSES OF CERAMIC
AND SCORPION.
PIRUZAN PARSI
WAS GIVING AWAY
ROSE PALACES
IN GHAMSAR GARDEN
WITH ROSES
ROSE WATER
AND RUGS
BY RUNNING IN RUNS.
A WONDER LOAD
ON THE SHOULDERS OF
SIALK ZIGURAT
GOING ROUND TO THE SKY
AND FIN GARDEN
WITNESSED
AMIR'S BLOOD
RUNNING IN RUNS
NOT IN ROYAL ROW
BUT DARK CORNER
OF A BLOOD BATH.
F.S.

Fin Fountain,garden and run with royal house and bath in suburb of kashan.,
also the 6000 year old sialk hills of kashan,considered one of seven wonders of iran.some pottery parts are pulled out of place to flourish louvre and other museums around the world. we are kind people and very hospitable

KASHAN WITH POPULATION of 250 000 IN 1385,COULD HAVE BEEN CALLED KASSIAN OR KASHIAN (PLACE OF KASSI PEOPLE OR KASHI),
OR KEY NESHAN(CHAIR OF KING),
OR EVEN CHEHEL HESSARAN(CITY OF FORTY WALLS).SOME STILL REMAINING AND STARING AT TIME AND PLACE.
THE PRESENCE OF SIALK HILLS AND REMAINS OF ZIGURATS WITH DEZATUN OR TERATUN OF NEARBY ABYANEH,AND STONE AND POTTERY PIECES UNEARTHED,SUGGESTING 6000 YEARS HISTORY FOR KASHAN, NOW HIDDEN IN DUST AND WIND.
KASHAN IS CITY OF FIN FOUNTAIN AND POOL AND GARDEN AND ORCHRD AND ROYAL HOUSE WITH ITS INFAMOUS BATH,WHERE AMIR KABIR,THE SON OF NATION AND A POPULAR PRIME MINISTER ,WAS KILLED BY THE ORDER OF NASSEREDIN SHAH GHAJAR.
KASHAN IS THE SITE OF ROSES AND ROSE WATER , GOL VA GOLAB,IN NEARBY GHAMSAR.ALSO MASHAD ARDEHAL AND ITS RUG WASHERS WITH THEIR BATS, AND THEIR BELOVED SON,SOHRAB SEPEHRI WHO SAYS:
I AM FROM KASHAN
MY WORK IS PAINTING...
KASHAN OF NIASAR HILL AND ITS ARCH OF ZOROASTRIAN ERA,ABYANEH OF THE SAME TIME AND CULTURE AND RITUALS,WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ON EARTH.KASHAN OF SHAH ABBAS SAFAVID'S TOMB,THE ONE WHO LOVED KASHAN AND SOMETIME ESCAPED ESFAHAN TO FIND REFUGE IN HERE,AND...
WHAT I NOW LIKE TO MENTION HERE IN THIS ARTOUR IS PERSIAN TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE OF DESERT ,THAT COULD BE SEEN IN HOUSES LIKE:
KHANEH ABBASSIAN OF 18TH CENTURY
KHANEH AMERIHA,OF SAHAM-OL-SALTANEH AMERI OF GHAJAR PERIOD
KHANEH TABTABAIHA
AND MORE IMPORTANT,KHANEH BORUJERDIHA WITH INTERIORS AND EXTERIORS
BUILT IN 1236/1857 BY OSTAD ALI MARYAM,THE TRADITIONAL ARCHITECT OR MEMAR WHO ALSO BUILT TABATABAI'S HOUSE,AND CONTAINIG PAINTINGS OF KAMALOLMOLK, PLASTAR WORKS OR GACHBORI,WALL CARVING AND STUCCO WORKS OF FRUITS AND FLOWERS,AND THE TINTED GLASS WINDOWS .BORUJERDI'S HOUSE WITH ITS SOPHISTICATED WIND TOWERS OR PERSIAN NATURAL COOLERS NOW HOUSES A MUSEUM.
YOU WONDER WHY SOME OF THESE HOUSES SURVIVED AGAINST NEW CITY PLANNERS AND THEIR WORKERS WITH SPADES AND JACKHAMMERS,ARRIVING TO ERASE THEM AND OPEN A NEW WAY FOR SUFFOCATING TRAFFIC.

*

I HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH CITY LIGHTS.NOT CHARLIE CHAPLINS BUT LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI'S.I ALWAYS THINK WRITERS USE IMAGES AND AT TIME,POETICAL LINES,AS THE TITLE OF THEIR BOOKS.IT IS MORE OF INTELLECT AND IMAGINATION.ON THE OTHER HAND,PAINTERS ARE MORE ON PERCEPTION SIDE AND:

THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE...,LIKE A GIRL WITH PEARL EARRINGS OR CABLE CAR OF SAN FRANCISCO.

I READ SOME OF THE TITLES ON THE COVERS OF BOOKS IN CITY LIGHTS:

BLOOD'S A ROVER

DAY AFTER NIGHT

GOURMET RHAPSODY

IN THE FALLING SNOW

JULIET NAKED

LITTLE BIRD OF HEAVEN

THE LOST SYMBOL

WAR DANCES

THE YEAR OF THE FLOOD

... I GO BACK TO FERLINGHETTI'S STARTING FROM SAN FRANCISCO:

THE AUTOMOBILE IS A PASSING THING

THE HORSE IS HERE TO STAY.

*

SAN FRANCISCO WAS A SHANGRI LA OF HIPPIES AND BEEPIES AND UPPIES AND ALLEN AND LAWRENCE AND JACK ,AND LATER A SADO-MASO HAVEN OF PROFESSOR MICHEL FOUCAULT,WHO REACHED THE LIMELIGHT OF AIDS AND DIED FOR THAT.

SAN FRANCISCO WAS A HAVEN OF ART AND CULTURE WITH PLACES LIKE CITY LIGHTS.IT STILL IS AND IT WILL BE.IT WAS A BEAUTY,EROTIC BEAUTY,36 YEARS AGO IN MY FIRST TRIP THERE ,AND STILL IS..

...DREAMING OF UTOPIAS,

WHERE EVERYONE IS A LOVER

I SEE SAN FRANCISCO FROM MY WINDOW

THROUGH SOME OLD NAVY BEER BOTTLES

THE GLASS IS DARK

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT

...KYRIE ELEISON KERISTA

FOR FERLINGHETTI'S THE SITUATION IN THE WEST FOLLWED BY A HOLLY PROPOSAL.

*

I AM HANGING OUT IN CITY LIGHTS OF CLUMBUS AND BROADWAY.FERLINGHETTI WAS NOT THERE AND THIS YOUNG GIRL SAID HE IS RETIRED BUT MAKES OCCASUIONAL VIST THERE.AND STILL WITHOUT HIM.THE PLACE WAS A LANDMARK,AND THE BOOKS ON BEATS AND ETC...

THERE WAS A DOOR WITH THE SIGN OF : I AM DOOR.

AND STEPS WERE GOING UPSTAIRS WHICH WAS PRETTY AND POETRY SECTION,WITH POET'S CHAIR TO SIT AND READ BOOKS,IF NOT BUYING THEM.

AND DOWNSTAIR IN THE BASEMENTWAS CHILDREN SECTION AND THE OTHERS AND PICTURES AND WORDS AND SLOGANS ALL OVER PLACES,

LIKE BOOKS NOT WARS

OR VIA FERLINGHETTI

OR BANNED BOOKS

AND THEN THERE WERE PHOTOS OF BEATS AND A BIG ONE OF NERUDA AND ALLENDE , STANDING SIDE BY SIDE.

AND A POSTCARD WITH POET'S POEM PRINTED ON IT.

...

I BOUGHT "TARGETTING IRAN" ,INTERVIEWS BY DAVID BARSAMIAN WITH NOAM CHOMSKY,ERVAND ABRAHIMIAN AND NAHID MOZAFFARI.I READ THEM THROUGH.THEY WERE MORE OF OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU ALREADY READ.I ENJOYED MOZAFFARI'S THAT WAS MORE DISCUSSING WOMEN CAUSE

*
I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THAT,CITY LIGHTS IS NOT ONLY LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI'S BOOKSHELF ,BUT ALSO BELONG TO OTHER SAN FRANCISCO POETS SUCH AS"

THIS LIST COULD BE LONGER BY MAKING MORE VISIT TO CITY LIGHTS BOOK STORE AND OTHER SOURCES,AND ESPECIALLY COULD BE HANDY WHEN YOU WANT TO READ MORE ABOUT THEM AND OR TRANSLATE THEIR WORKS TO OTHER LANGUAGES,LIKE FARSI/PERSIAN.

STEINBECK'S SALINAS

steinbeck center,salinas,ca.

faramarzsoleimani.com

Salinas is proud of his native sun so an inclusive museum has been made in honor of John Steinbeck,although in the past people were not kind o him and his books.

In 1362 Academy of Sweden was not keen either to Steinbeck and his books including:

Of mice and men

The grapes of wrath

Canary row

East of Eden...

That year 66 authors including Lawrence Darrell and Robert Graves were candidates to win Nobel prize in literature,and finally John Steinbeck of Salinas was announced as winner ,as "the master of modern American literature...for his realistic as well as imaginative writings,distinguished by a sympathetic humor and a keen social perception"
