【アメリカ建国250年・独立記念日に寄せて】O Captain! My Captain!by Walt Whitman Recitation & Music
by POETAQ

   本年の7月4日はアメリカ建国250年とのことで、W・ホイットマンの「O Captain! My Captain!（おお、船長！わが船長！）を、ポップビートに乗せて朗誦した。ペシミスティックな内容をさらにペシミスティックにするような明るい曲調に仕上げた。確かに生きにくい世の中だが、自滅を望まぬ限り、なんとか希望にしがみつき生きてゆかねばならない。 　ありがとう、ホイットマン！ 　This July 4 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. To commemorate the occasion, I recited Walt Whitman’s “O Captain! My Captain!” over a pop beat. 　I set this pessimistic poem to a bright musical style—one that, paradoxically, makes its pessimism feel even deeper. 　Yes, we live in a difficult world. But unless we wish for our own self-destruction, we have no choice but to cling somehow to hope and keep on living. 　Thank you, Whitman!

Greek Mythology Aphrodite Under the Rose = “In Secret"


Even Aphrodite 

Spent with a hottie on the rose bed.

Stigmata by thorns telling secrets.


*************************************************************

【Greek Myth】

　Roses came into bloom with Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty and Love, when she was born from the sea foam on the island of Cyprus.


　Aphrodite was ordered by Zeus to marry Hephaistos, the god of smiths, but Hephaistos was the ugliest of the twelve gods, so Aphrodite refused and fell in forbidden love with Ares, the god of war. 


　When Aphrodite's child found out about this, she asked the god of silence to silence her, and succeeded in keeping the secret to herself.Aphrodite's gift to the god of silence in return was a red rose.


　This myth gave rise to the proverb, "Under the rose," which means to keep a secret.
