【クリスマスは孔雀の聖歌で〜W.B.イェイツ「孔雀」】A poetry chant for Christmas Eve. “The Peacock” by W. B. Yeats

  本日はクリスマスイブ。七面鳥がふさわしいところだが、父親の県展入選の写真を使わせてもらうことにして、孔雀でお許しください。真っ白の羽の孔雀だが、動画制作中、彩色の誘惑に駆られ、ヴィジュアルに傾いてしまった。まあ、クリスマスでもあるし、美を意識してのこととご勘弁ください。 戦後80年も、残すところ一週間。戦闘機の代わりに「熊」が襲来する一年だった。来年こそ、まともな年になりますように。。。    動画の詩「孔雀」は、W .B.イエーツ、中期の詩集「レスポンシビリティーズ」所収。世俗的な富より美こそ、と謳う。グレゴリオ聖歌などとても歌えないが、たまには美しいものを、と原文の美麗さに乗って口ずさんだもの。お気に召していただければ幸い。  Today is Christmas Eve.  A turkey would be more appropriate, perhaps, but instead I have borrowed a photograph by my father—one that was once selected for a prefectural exhibition—and ask your forgiveness for presenting a peacock instead. This peacock, with its pure white feathers, was meant to remain unadorned. Yet during the process of making the video, I found myself tempted by color, and the work gradually leaned toward the visual.

【詐月晴れ】(さつきばれ)


気象機関が国民の関心を惹こうとして、九州南部を除くと時期尚早に思える梅雨入りを、皐月(さつき)・五月にしては稀な雨続きにかこつけて発表するも、それをあざ笑うかのように熱中症で実際に命を落とす者まで現れるほどの好天が戻ってきて、せっかくのご自慢のサプライズ宣言を撤回させることとなる、なんとも皮肉な晴れ間。

“May-lie sun”

In an attempt to attract the public's attention, the meteorological service announced that the rainy season had begun, which seemed premature except in southern Kyushu, on the back of a rare rainy spell in Satsuki or May, but as if to mock the announcement, the weather returned so fine that some people actually died of heat stroke, forcing them to retract the surprise declaration they had been so proud of. It's indeed an ironic break in the weather. 


Recall declared,

Forecasts, politicians' diction,

May's sun deceives.
