Roman Pictures

08/07/2017 17:15

Being in a gloomy mood I looked through a file with some photographs I took one evening in Rome, some months ago. I had forgotten about them, though the solitary feeling they provided harmonizes well with the grey and rainy dusk lingering outside my window here in Hässleholm. 

I began taking the photos while I walked down to our magazine where I often sit and write, there I ended up looking at some pictures in the art books I have laying around, before I decided for an evening stroll in the neighbourhood, watching the grafitti. A perishable art form that gradually disappears, as I hope my melancholy mood eventually will do as well. When I came home I gave our fish some food and went to bed.

Some friends of mine use to complain that my blog entries are too wordy, so here I give you one with almost no words at all:

Since I learned to read, I have been a bookworm of great and perhaps of distressing proportions. I read pretty much everything that suits me at the moment, both non-fiction and fiction. As the bibliophile I am, it often happens that I get nervous when I have a quiet moment to spare and not a book...
Sedan jag lärde mig läsa har jag varit en bokslukare av stora och kanske svårartade mått. Jag läser i stort sett allt som för ögonblicket faller mig i smaken, såväl fack- som skönlitteratur. Som den bibliofil jag är händer det ofta att jag blir lätt nervös då jag har en lugn stund till övers och...
I grew up in a small town where several railway lines met. With my playmates I spent a lot of time on the embankments and it also happened that we sneaked in among the carriages standing on the side tracks. Some of them were unlocked and we enter the empty freight cars, smelling mysteriously of old...
Jag växte upp i en liten stad där flera järnvägslinjer möttes. Med mina lekkamrater tillbringade jag en hel del tid på banvallarna och det hände även att vi smög oss in bland vagnarna på stickspåren. En del av dem var olåsta och vi kunde då sitta i de tomma godsvagnarna, som luktade hemlighetsfullt...
Grönköping's Weekly recently published an interview with the city's mayor, Mårten Sjökvist, in which he expressed his opinion that, among other things, a lot is happening in the world right now, and old opinions need to be reconsidered, not least when it comes to how states and cities should...
Grönköpings Veckoblad publicerade nyligen en intervju med stadens borgmästare, Mårten Sjökvist, i vilken han bland annat uttryckte sin uppfattning att det händer ju mycket i världen just nu, och gamla ståndpunkter får omprövas, icke minst när det gäller hur stater och städer skall styras....
Here I lie a prisoner between sheets, and listen in a darkened pavilion. I am thinking of a couple of lines from the Swedish poet Hjalmar Gullberg's magnificent poem To a Nightingale in Malmö, which deals with a sleepless night in a hospital bed. My left femoral head had been worn down...
Här ligger jag en fånge mellan lakan, och lyssnar i en mörklagd paviljong. Det är inte utan att jag tänker på ett par rader ur Hjalmar Gullbergs magnifika dikt Till en näktergal i Malmö. Vänster lårbenshuvud hade slitits ner och så hade ligamentet där det möter bäckenbenet. En av doktorerna sa...
The Palazzo Strozzi in Florence presented recently a large exhibition of Fra Angelico’s paintings. For a while, I thought about going there, but changed my mind. I had several times seen Fra Angelico’s frescoes in the monks' cells of the monastery of San Marco, also in Florence. Then I thought I...
Palazzo Strozzi i Florens hade nyligen en stor utställning med Fra Angelicos målningar. Under en tid tänkte jag resa dit, men ångrade mig. Fra Angelicos fresker hade jag sett flera gånger i munkcellerna i San Marcos kloster, även det i Florens. Sedan tyckte jag dock att jag borde ha tagit...
