Camus

was born in Algeria to French parents. He spent his childhood in a poor neighbourhood and later studied philosophy at the University of Algiers. He was in Paris when the Germans invaded France during World War II. Camus tried to flee but finally joined the French Resistance where he served as editor-in-chief at Combat, an outlawed newspaper. After the war, he was a celebrity figure and gave many lectures around the world. He married twice but had many extramarital affairs. Camus was politically active. He was part of the Left that opposed the Soviet Union because of its totalitarianism. Camus was a moralist and was leaning towards anarcho-syndicalism. He was part of many organisations seeking European integration. During the Algerian War, he kept a neutral stance advocating for a multicultural and pluralistic Algeria, a position that caused controversy and was rejected by most parties.

▪️Philosophically, Camus's views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He is also considered to be an existentialist, despite his having firmly rejected the term throughout his lifetime.

▫️هم نیچه و هم کامو جهان و بیدادگری موجود را نمی‌پذیرند زیرا چنین وضعیتی نفی انسانیت می‌باشد. هر دو آنان معترض هستند و هر کدام به خاطر آدمی راه عصیان و شورش را برمی‌گزینند. کامو و نیچه «عصیانگر» امیدی به انقلاب اجتماعی - سیاسی ندارند زیرا از منظر آن‌ها فرد آگاه و آزادمرد نه تنها «زمانه» و حکومت را، بلکه کل آفرینش را زیر سؤال می‌برد.

Empty Now

🎧 Cem Pilenvelli


❤️ Lately love doesn't feel the same
No, many pretty girls,
I won't play the game
I don't feel much of anything
No, you have hollowed me
Everyone is saying take a chance
Make some kind of cheap romance
جديدا عشق ديگه حس قديم رو نداره
دختر خوشگل زياده،
ولى نه، من اهل بازى نيستم
هيچ حسى درونم نيست
تو من رو از درون خالى كردى
همه بهم ميگن از فرصت هات استفاده كن
رابطه هاى كوتاه بى ارزش تجربه كن

🧡 Empty now, empty now, empty now
I am empty now
تهى ، تهى ، الان از درون تهى هستم

Remember,
you liked me quick and cool
Played me just like a fool
I still taste your lips on mine
But they don't mean nothing
يادته؟ تو خيلى زود بهم علاقمند شدى
منو مثل يك ابله بازى دادى
هنوز طعم لبات رو حس ميكنم
اما اينا هيچ معنى نداره

💛 Lately love doesn't feel the same
I don't feel much of anything
Empty now, empty now, empty now
I am empty now

The Angel

I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne’er beguiled!

And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart’s delight.

So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.

Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.

✍William Blake

📚 فرشته

دو دیده‌ اندر خواب و یکی خواب دیدم من!
هان! تعبیر چیست ای مردمِ بیدارتن؟

وَن در آن خواب، یکی شاهنگ بودم من چون کندوی ناسفته

مَلَک-مَردی نگهبان‌ام، گهی اِستاده، گه خفته:
من، همی هیهات-گویان چون یه زندانی
او، بی‌خبر، بی‌بذله، در کارِ نگهبانی!

همه شب، همه روز، کار من بود زاریدن
کار او بود دو چشمم را به دَستار مالیدن
...
زاریدن بود کار من، همه صبح و همه شب‌ها
لیک در خود داشتم پنهان، همه تَش‌ها، از آن تب‌ها.
...
شد ایام و رسید آن روز که ناگه بال برچید،
صورت ماه چون خورشید شد پیدا و خون دید.

سِتُردم خون ز چشمانم، همه ترس‌ها را دادم صَلا،
به صد زوبین و صد تیغ و چندصد سلاح.
...
نشد دیری، باز برگشت آن مردِ مَلَک،
مسلح بودم این باره،
دریغا!
مرد بی‌چاره،

چون جوانی و گرما همه رفته به جوی
من و سرمای پیری و سپیدی ی موی.

'The Angel’

 by William Blake presents a dream in which a speaker as a “maiden Queen” was guarded by an angel. He left the speaker in distress and reappeared when she grew old.

💭'The Angel’ speaks on the fascinating concept of angels. The idea of the angel is common within the Abrahamic religions: Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and the Bahá’í—as well as being mentioned in Sikh and Zoroastrian texts. The idea of having a guardian angel is one that is thousands of years old, and in each form of the phrase, there are core similarities—that an angel is a spiritual, otherworldly being charged with the benevolent task of fulfilling the will of of the divine on Earth.

💭Blake’s poem describes a dream that the speaker dreamt. In the dream, she was a maiden Queen and her guardian angel protected her all day long. Later he took off on his wings. It made the speaker so sad that the incident hardened her nerves. She matured and grew older. So, she stopped thinking about the mild angel. When the angel reappeared it was too late as “the time of youth” had already fled. She was too old to be guided by an angel.

Meaning:

💭Indeed, the meaning of ‘The Angel’ is broad enough that it could be used to describe a man off to war, believing themselves to be fighting for a noble and true cause, and hardening their own defenses to protect themselves from the harsh reality of war, or indeed, revolution. There is a definite sense of sadness to this poem and a strong sense of longing, even after the angel departs for the final time, a fleeting symbol of something that might have been.

💭The Angel’ is a poem that strongly contrasts elements of innocence and corruption. In a way, we all have our own angels, in the form of things we believed as children that we no longer do. We all had a different way of reacting to the world as children than we do as adults (and if one doesn’t, it would be better to work on that).
