In the air, over the Thames

Here and there, aquí y allí, and throughout the world, en todo el mundo, inside imagination, profundamente imbuido de imaginación.

Gay Pride 2009

Otro ayuntamiento con la bandera multicolor. Ya era hora.

High up in the sky

High up in the sky

Over those faces

I do not want to meet,

High in the air, up,

On a plane of sincerity,

High fireworks

From blue to yellow

On a plane of fleet

Solstice.

Suddendly

The rainbow.

I am what I am

Gloria Gaynor, I am what I am

I am what I am

I am my own special creation

So come take a look

Give me the hook

Or the ovation

It's my world

That I want to have a little pride

My world

And it's not a place I have to hide in

Life's not worth a dam

Till I can say

I am what I am

I am what I am

I don't want praise I don't want pity

I bang my own drum

Some think it's noise I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle

Why not see things from a different angle

Your life is a shame

Till you can shout out I am what I am

I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck

Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit

One life so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out

I am what I am

I am what I am

I am what I am

And what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit

One life so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out

I am what I am

I am I am I am good

I am I am I am strong

I am I am I am worthy

I am I am I belong

I am

I am

Who whoooo etc.

I am

I am I am I am useful

I am I am I am true

I am I am somebody

I am as good as you

Yes I am

Going upstairs, Virginia.

'Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow,' said Mrs Ramsay. 'But you'll have to be up with the lark,' she added.

To her son these words conveyed an extraordinary joy, as if it were settled the expedition were bound to take place, and the wonder to which he had looked forward, for years and years it seemed, was, after a night's darkness and a day's sail, within touch.

To the lighthouse

Virginia Woolf

Bloomsday

Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stair head, bearing a bowl of leather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirlded, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:

Introibo ad altare Dei.

Ulysses

James Joyce

Solemne, el gordo Buck Mulligan avanzó desde la salida de la escalera, llevando un cuenco de espuma de jabón, y encima, cruzados, un espejo y una navaja. La suave brisa de la mañana le sostenía levemente en alto, detrás de él, la bata amarilla, desceñida. Elevó en el aire el cuenco y entonó:

Introibo ad altare Dei.

Ulises

James Joyce

(Traducción de José María Valverde)

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life

And when you get the chance, you are the dancing queen.

Sólo si las oportunidades son aquellas que pueden responder al esfuerzo personal, al trabajo realizado. Nada de aprovecharse de lo que no se ha trabajado, de las amistades, porque entonces hablamos de egoísmo, hipocresía.

You're in the mood for a dance. You're the dancing queen. Feel the beat from the tambourine.
