Introduction It is of Aucassin and Nicolette

vorbindu-va despre el. Ovidiu Florentin a vazut pentru prima data lumina zilei/ noaptea (de 2 spre 3 octombrie 1980) în Craiova, din creierul meu. Dar el a fost conceput mult timp, dupa lungi cautari în suflet. Nu are mama. Taica-su facându-l din flori... De profesie, Ovidiu Florentin este visator, si-si practica meseria cu ochii deschisi. Iubeste atât de mult libertatea încât este în disensiune cu toata lumea. Si oricând are câte un marasm moare, dar renaste singur din propria-i poezie... Este tacut din fire, vorbind toata ziua cu ziarele, revistele, cartile... Pe cap poarta o coroana plina de gânduri, si umbla vesnic neras/ din dorinta de a nu avea barba! Îi place mult sa scrie, si de aceea scrie putin, poemele fiind facute dupa chipul si asemanarea sa... La început, el urmeaza gradinita lui Geo Dumitrescu; dupa ce primeste de câteva ori botezul cuvântului întrerupe studiile, urmându-si stagiatura prin alte reviste. Si în timp ce acestea îl denigrau, el îsi cerea scuze. Totusi, poeziile încep sa explodeze prin reviste: „Luceafarul”, „Flacara”, „Orizont”, „ ”, „ ”, „ ” etc. Întâlnirea în cadrul cenaclului cu Nea Marin (Sorescu) i-a...

Higher Science!

...................... Now, compare this same scenario to that of a man. Whatever he is doing is actually something wherein a particular set of codes or lines of program are being utilised or created. When he bends, turns to the right, picks up something, and all else, actually some program line or code is being written; I do not know where. It, most probably is not in the same world that we exist in; but in some other ‘cyber’ world, where everything gets encoded and stored. It may be noted that the codes that I am speaking of here is not the software on which the brain is working; but of something which is beyond the software used in the brain; so that even this software used in the brain is actually a creation of the other one, that I speak of. Now we have reached a premise, wherein the proposition gets connected to what one may call ‘lines of destiny’ or what in Indian languages is called ‘writings on the head’. Yet, what I proposed may not be entirely lines that foretell destiny; it may be simply that whatever we are doing can be seen in another arena in terms of lines of codes; I do not know what language, or what type of s...

Oocons nojrs du sommeil. Rivages. Balance de pensees. Une porte s'ouvre. Je m'elance au-dessus du vide, ancre de rien, parmi des rochers couverts de brouillard en !ignes confuses. Un sphinx sourit froidcment. De petites ondes.me font fremir, je vois mon etre se disperser. Dans la fumee de I'inconuu font I~ur apparition des lIes rosatres et Oottantes. Au-dessus s! agitent des papillons: les poete:; montent vers la lumiere. Des Oots alerles m'accrochent au sort des paroles; I' infini devient ma demeure. Des insectes de nuit, que I'aile brisee n'aide plus s'envoler, des ombres passageres, traversent les prairies. Espoirs. Paroles imml~bilisees, sous Ie filet d'une phrase, survenues a I'instant dans rna pensee. Aspiration vers I' inaccessible. Soif permanente el ardente. Force qui brule. Foi mystique.
