Electricity - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band Singin' through you to me Thunderbolts caught easily Shouts the truth peacefully Electricity Seems to be a Don Van Vliet day for me. :-)

... Sure 'nuff 'n yes I do - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

This is indeed great, but I'd rather retain the verb "read" for her eyes also: "Her house must be really nice! If she would invite me over, we would make tea and sit and read lines of poetry, pausing to read each other's eyes." “I read her eyes like paragraphs and her tears like chapters...

sheltered (passive voice participle) in the doorway of a shop | she would understand | I shot (like a bullet) past the cinema, where I had stopped last Sunday taking sneak peeks at the photos (in the billboard). βολίδα η : 1. για κτ. που κινείται, εκσφενδονίζεται με μεγάλη ταχύτητα, ορμή...

... Ubik - Αντώνης Λιβιεράτος “The past is latent, is submerged, but still there, capable of rising to the surface once the later imprinting unfortunately —and against ordinary experience— vanished. The man contains not the boy but earlier men, he thought. History began a long time ago.”...

... Και το φεγγάρι από ψηλά - Αντώνης Λιβιεράτος

April, come she will When streams are ripe and swelled with rain May, she will stay Resting in my arms again June, she'll change her tune In restless walks she'll prowl the night July, she will fly And give no warning to her flight August, die she must The autumn winds blow chilly and cold...

They're both "and", Theseus. I think this will explain it: γραμμή λεωφορείο και στην Κοζάνη, γραμμή κι από κει για την Κόνιτσα > straight for the bus and off to Kozani, and from there straight to Konitsa.

... Your first interpretation is correct, Theseus: "The average eight-year-old Greek has already spent twice as many hours with the TV as high school students spend at their school desk." Not mine, though, at least not by their eighth year. :-) And by then, the TV was already dead, devoured by...

... From Thessaloniki where he arrived by train, he didn't stop to see anything; he went straight for the bus to Kozani and from there straight to Konitsa. [...] After three or four hours, they stopped at the small grocery store that was there since before he had left. Now that the road had been...

... Συμπλήρωση: τις προάλλες άκουσα να τις λένε πετρωτές, συγκεκριμένα να διαλαλούν τέτοια κλωσόπουλα λέγοντας: «πουλάκια πετρωτά». Κι αφού τα λένε έτσι αυτοί που τα πουλάνε, έτσι θα τα ξέρουν κι αυτοί που τ' αγοράζουν, άρα όρος της πιάτσας, διαδεδομένος, τουλάχιστον στον θεσσαλικό κάμπο.

... Όταν βλέπουμε marshal, κοιτάμε μήπως προηγείται το U.S. ή ο τίτλος αναφέρεται στις ΗΠΑ, γιατί άλλο U.S. Marshal, δηλαδή ομοσπονδιακός αστυνόμος / σερίφης, κι άλλο Field Marshal, δηλαδή στρατάρχης. 1. An officer of the highest rank in the armed forces of some countries: [as title] ‘Marshal...

... had nothing to envy of the grandeur (positive) ζηλεύω : 1. αισθάνομαι μικρή ή μεγάλη επιθυμία να αποκτήσω και εγώ κάτι που αποτελεί κτήμα, ιδιότητα, προσόν κτλ. άλλων: Tι ζήλεψες, να σου το δώσω. Zήλεψε και πήγε ν΄ αγοράσει κι αυτή το ίδιο φόρεμα. Tο μόνο που δε ζήλεψα ήταν το χρήμα.

... My first thought according to the context you provide and the adversative of αλλά, Theseus, was to assume a negative δεν is missing before the first verb: "Ο γάμος δεν είναι μυστήριο -ή μόνο μυστήριο- όπως τον εμφανίζει η εκκλησία, αλλά σχέση ζωής δύο ατόμων," i.e. "Matrimony is not a...

Nα 'βλεπες «του Μορόκο», προτού εγώ το σκίσωωω Νύχτες μαγικές κι ονειρεμένες, μες στην ακλισιάαα... True story. Α, ναι, και για να μην ξεχνιόμαστε: η Καζαμπλάνκα, της Καζαμπλάνκας. Το «η μακιγιέρ» κάτω από τον τίτλο τι σας λέει; Μασκάρεμα του φύλου; Γιατί ιδίως σε τέτοιο άρθρο (οΘντκ), θα...

... Since the discussion has veered so widely from the thread subject, I have created a new thread better suited to the new topic: Literature and gender issues in the past Because someone has to do the tidying up; be it man, woman, or daeman. :-)

... Μια που το ψειρίζουμε, νομίζω πως ένα μαθηματικό/γεωμετρικό μυαλό μάλλον θα απέρριπτε ό,τι έχει σχέση με επίπεδα, εκτός αν η καμπύλη είναι τρισδιάστατη. Γιατί αν δεν είναι, έχουμε γραμμή που μόνο ευθύγραμμη μπορεί να είναι στην περίπτωση διαγράμματος σαν αυτά που συζητάμε, όχι επιφάνεια που...

... Please note it's not *νοήτω, it's νοείτω: If Magenta has *νοήτω, ουαί τω ανοήτω. Which I believe is a recent addition, not so common to be considered actually an extension. I've done my share of translating Monty Python, Theseus -in verse no less, in song singalong- but lately I don't...
