Cuando era un crío, la única Ofelia que conocía era la que aparecía en las historietas de Mortadelo y Filemón de F. Ibáñez. Fue en mi época de estudiante de bachillerato cuando descubrí la "Ofelia muerta" de J. E. Millais, pintada en 1852. Consagré muchas horas de mi adolescencia a los diez volúmenes de la Historia del Arte de Salvat, el cuadro de Millais me cautivó de inmediato, jamás pensé que se pudiera representar la muerte de una manera tan bella, tan poética. Mi Ofelia, por su parte, es mucho más doméstica. La pobre se ahogó en el fregadero de la cocina, víctima del desequilibrio existencial de su prometido, Hamlet.
... i he reocrdat la cançó de Nick Cave:
ResponderEliminarThey call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face
[Chorus]
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"
[Chorus]
On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Amén.
ResponderEliminarConeixía la cançó i m'encanta, però no sabia que era Kyli Minogue la que feie el duet amb el Nick Cave. Moltes gràcies per els teus comentaris Sr. Andreu
La muerte debería ser nuestra última demostración de arte.
