Je suis le Ténébreux, – le Veuf, – l’Inconsolé,
Le Prince d’Aquitaine à la Tour abolie:
Ma seule Etoile est morte, – et mon luth constellé
Porte le Soleil noir de la Mélancolie.

 
Dans la nuit du Tombeau, Toi qui m’as consolé,
Rends-moi le Pausilippe et la mer d’Italie,
La fleur qui plaisait tant à mon coeur désolé,
Et la treille où le Pampre à la Rose s’allie.

 
Suis-je Amour ou Phébus ? … Lusignan ou Biron ?
Mon front est rouge encor du baiser de la Reine;
J’ai rêvé dans la Grotte où nage la sirène …

 
Et j’ai deux fois vainqueur traversé l’Achéron:
Modulant tour à tour sur la lyre d’Orphée
Les soupirs de la Sainte et les cris de la Fée.


Gérard de Nerval (1808-1855): El Desdichado, 1853, from the sonnet sequence Les Chimères, in Les Filles de Feu, 1854

J’ai rêvé dans la Grotte où nage la sirène …

I am the dark one, - the widower; - the unconsoled,
The prince of Aquitaine at his stricken tower:
My sole star is dead, - and my constellated lute
Bears the blackSun of the Melencolia.

In the night of the tomb, you who consoled me,
Give me back Mount Posilipo and the Italian sea,
The flower which pleased so my desolate heart,
And the trellis where the grape vine unites with the rose.

Am I Amor or Phoebus? . . . Lusignan or Biron?
My forehead is still red from the kiss of the queen;
I have dreamd in the grotto where the mermaid swims . . .

And two times victorious I have crosst the Acheron:
Modulating turn by turn on the lyre of Orpheus
The sighs of the saint and the cries of the Fay.


Nerval's sonnet translated by Robert Duncan as El Desdichado (The Disinherited) in Bending the Bow, 1968

The glow from a Noctiluca scintillans algae bloom along the seashore in Hong Kong. The luminescence, also called Sea Sparkle, is triggered by farm pollution that can be devastating to marine life and local fisheries, according to University of Georgia oceanographer Samantha Joye: photo by Kin Cheung/AP via The Guardian, 23 January 2015

Coal is the primary energy source fueling China’s economic rise but this seemingly endless stream of heavy dump trucks filled with coal on a Gobi Desert highway in Inner Mongolia is far from the big urban electricity consumers on the east coast. China now consumes more coal than the rest of the planet combined and emits more carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, than any other country on the planet: photo by James Whitlow Delano/Everydayclimatechange via the Guardian, 20 January 2015



Coal miners ride a hopper out of a coal mine in Meghalaya, northeast India. India has yet to set a cap on its still-growing emissions.Coal accounted for 44% of India’s energy consumption in 2012 while renewable sources like nuclear and hydroelectric plants made up 5%. India’s priority to bring electricity to the 300 million Indians who currently live without it will be cheaply met with coal-fired power plants. India’s attitude toward emissions reduction illustrates the conflict developing nations face in the battle against climate change as they endeavour to climb to developed nation status: photo by Suzanne Lee/Everydayclimatechange via the Guardian, 20 January 2015
