- in search of duende是西班牙诗人lorca一本诗集的名字。在这条线下，都将是有关西班牙、吉普赛人和弗拉门哥的记录。
刚从DC回来，下了公车就赶紧跑去上课。傍晚纽约下着绵密的雷阵雨。我今天怎么都跳不好，天一阴沉，我就心灰意懒，浑身无力。
老师VK在课上又提到Farruquito了，他说Farruquito是这样的，Farruquito是那样的，Farruquito成了我们新的教皇，年轻的教皇。很快就要见到他了，我的吉普赛王子！最近他接受了一个采访，简单的对话里完全展示了他的个性。说到Lorca，有谁不喜欢Lorca的诗呢？

今天买了一个英西电子字典，并不满意,哪位介绍一款好的中西或者英西电子字典？Fanklin sucks.
读了几行吉普赛人的“深歌”（deep song）：
Cerco tiene la luna
mi amore ha muerto
The moon has a halo,
my love has died.

比如洛尔伽，他的诗哪里是饱食终日，营营碌碌，朝九晚五的生活所

- maya Theory and Play Of The Duende
Translated by A. S. Kline
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Between 1918 when I entered the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid, and 1928 when I left, having completed my study of Philosophy and Letters, I listened to around a thousand lectures, in that elegant salon where the old Spanish aristocracy went to do penance for its frivolity on Frenc
- xwduende: 魅惑 魔魅
我来引一首海子的诗《我感到魅惑》，这是白话诗中魔魅的东西。
但哪里能寻得见地中海的血中爱与死的激情呢？
=====================================================
我感到魅惑
海子
天上的音乐不会是手指所动
手指本是四肢安排的花豆
我的身子是一份甜蜜的田亩
我感到魅惑
我就想在这条魅惑之上渡过我自己
我的身子上还有拔不出的春天的钉子
我感到魅惑
美丽女儿，一流到底

- 鐜涢泤今天下课在地铁站上遇见一个在纽约跳芭蕾的台湾男孩Lee。4年前他18岁时从台湾来纽约学戏剧，爱上了芭蕾。从来没跳过舞的他现在据说已经是professional了，而且即将加入一家在欧洲的舞蹈团。
我的老师vk也是18岁才开始学舞的，况且他还跛足。
Lee说他这四年花去父母10多万美金，每天训练4－6小时，周末除外。四年就能达到professional，可见他是很投入的了。如果一开始就把跳舞当成一生中唯一的事来作该多好啊，其他的都是在�

What is bullfighting really about?
The history of violence and death in Spain is clearly reflected in the bullring, a tradition that reaches back to Roman times, when bulls were fought and killed as they are today. The paradox of the bullfight is that with all its pride and splendor, there is the perpetual danger of the bull conquering man; that unpredictable moment when the bull turns upo

马搬到剧台上去倒是常有的事，比如女舞神之类的。

Somerset Maugham wrote a book called “Of Human Bondage,” in which his main character suffered from a deep sense of despair. It was during such a period, he discovered a Persian rug so wondrous in design, that it awakened in him a new concept about his life. From that moment on, he realized that happiness was not his goal to achieve, nor was it relevant. What was relev

他还不算鼻祖，算是最了不起的大师之一吧，他前几年才死，小帅哥的祖父。
她叫Carmen Amaya。身高才4尺10。非常矮小的女人。能量惊人。请查carmen到底是什么意思。
这是我最喜欢的一张照片，google里到处都是她的照片。她最后死在摄影地。我前个星期看了她最后的影片Los Tarantos，vk当年的女友Sara Lezana 是其中主角。

What is this place? Here is what Suzanne herself answered on the Undertow mailing list in December 1998:
El Carmen de los Martires (The Carmen of the Martyrs) is a garden near the Alhambra in the south of Spain, in Granada. It is one of many gardens near the main one. In this garden are statues of saints. Many (if not most) of them are missing their heads and their
