Oi! Aqui está a tradução em português do poema da Louise Michel para o Saint-Just, por mim :D

(english translation shared by @/siecleetcieux here)

(versão original em francês, pág. 20)

under the cut…

Sombra de um cidadão, Saint-Just, eu te saúdo!

Venha, irmão, fale para mim: teria a hora chegado?

Vão cair os Faraós?

Vê, frequentemente a noite, quando o horizonte está escuro,

Eu ando e sonho, e perto de mim, tua sombra

Surge e parece falar comigo.

E nós dois andamos juntos, eu na penumbra hesitante,

Você na eternidade; nós andamos, e o vento de Bise

Chora pelos mortos e proscritos.

E tudo aquilo que antes deslumbrava o mundo,

A liberdade, a honra, parecem dormir sob a onda.

Até o silêncio tem seus gritos.

Um imenso hecatombe, um sepulcro, um covil,

Veja o que eles fizeram da pátria, oh irmão,

A águia desceu de sua rocha,

Os chacais se arrastaram, a vil hiena veio

E não se vê mais nada na terra e nas nuvens,

Poderia o futuro abdicar?

Vês o que eles, estes lobos, fizeram com a República?

Este povo de coração apaixonado, esse povo magnífico

Tomou como mestre um mercenário;

Ele não se ergue mais ao som de sua história;

Até sob a chibata; é inacreditável,

Sua vergonha é de aterrorizar.

Oh! Pelo menos, no passado, nas vossas lutas sangrentas,

O coração batia facilmente, e asas gigantescas

Carregavam no alto o vosso espírito:

Podia-se, quando morrendo em praça pública,

Exclamar do patíbulo: “Vida Longa à República!”

Oh! Isso era grandioso e isso era belo!

Hoje em dia, tudo está silencioso; todos estão escondidos nas sombras,

Para que eles não falem mais, esses prisioneiros sem número,

Pois a morte faria muito barulho.

E quando vemos, de vez em quando, que esta agonizante

Que nós chamamos de França, murmurou, morrendo,

Um suspiro nesta horrível noite;

Quando ela estremeceu de vergonha ou raiva;

Este homem que a oprime, besta horrível,

Sobre ela estende seus braços horrendos!

E nós suportamos isso! Esse insignificante nos domina!

O anão [Napoleão III] tomou como pedestal uma colina

E nós o olhamos de baixo.

Oh! Vocês nos desprezam, vocês, sombras magnânimas,

Que deram, tremendo de seus desejos sublimes,

Até mesmo a bondade de seus corações.

Vocês que souberam como eliminar no fundo de suas almas

Toda fraqueza humana, vocês que foram tratados de infames,

Assustadores e sagrados guias!

Oh! Vocês eram tão puros, mas também implacáveis,

E vocês eram tão grandiosos, formidáveis apóstolos

Da augusta fraternidade.

Mas, enquanto meus olhos se enchiam de lágrimas,

Uma noite, eu ouvi um barulho de armas vindo de longe

No silêncio repetido.

Eram eles! Os gigantes, os terríveis arcanjos

Que para abrir o caminho puseram em suas falanges

A Morte, como se põe um ceifador.

Foram eles que, com o coração sangrando pela vítima,

Abateram o soberano, mostrando de longe o abismo

Aos reis lívidos de terror.

Enquanto eu assistia à essa coorte sombria,

Um deles, separando-se, chegou perto de mim nas sombras,

E estendeu-me suas mãos pálidas,

Como as estende um irmão após dias de ausência,

E eu li através de sua alma, no meio do silêncio,

O terrível julgamento dos destinos.

Nós dois parecíamos ter quase a mesma idade,

E quer fosse a alma, ou o ar, ou o rosto,

Seus traços eram parecidos com os meus.

E Saint-Just me disse na língua eterna,

“Escutas, na noite, essa voz que te chamas,

Escuta, a hora é agora, vem!”

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

#he also goes on for another six pages after this but by then he has remembered the existence of the full stop #the endnotes say that hugo 'se devait de faire [ce portrait] aussi favorable que possible à la personnalité de l'homme #qui avait favorisé sa carrière' (had to make this portrait as favorable as possible to the character of the man who had favored his career) #in fairness to hugo it's not like louis-philippe was alive to read this. so he wasn't just sucking up to get something out of it #he says at the end of the chapter that this description is 'entirely disinterested'. which like on the one hand i get #bc like i said louis-philippe was not in power and reading this. but otoh victor 'ancien pair de france' hugo u r not exactly unbiased. lol #les mis #lm 4.1.3 #i just looked up the english translation and gasp! hapgood turned it into four separate sentences!!!! #so i think y'all who are reading it via les mis letters (which uses hapgood i think?) are gonna miss out on the full experience :/ #my posts #linked to #syntax #idk if i got this across but the worst part is that the subject of the sentence - the beginning of the independent clause - #doesn't occur until the very end. so for the first 95% of the sentence you're just waiting for the bass to drop!!! #like reading it out loud you have to raise your pitch at the end of every dependent clause because you haven't gotten to the subject yet #AND THERE ARE SO MANY CLAUSES!! 49 SEMICOLONS PEOPLE!!! FORTY-NINE!!!! #victor hugo would be TERRIBLE as a hype man. he would take so long that the crowd would tear him to pieces with their fingernails #before louis-philippe could come out on stage. and then they'd be so mad at louis-philippe for inspiring him that they'd tear LP apart too #actually i think i'm using hype man wrong. i'm thinking of the guy that gets the crowd hyped up for the main guy before the main guy #makes an appearance. a hype man is the guy who makes interjections during a song. victor hugo would be bad at both of these #like just imagine the announcer at the beginning of a basketball game. and now...your starting lineup...at power forward... #and then he just says the 760-word louis-philippe sentence. #dead. murdered at the hands of the fans. microphone shoved down his trachea.

The boys asked me, “Can you stay with us? And what you’ve talked about, building up the voice.. can we do that?” So I did, I went on the X Factor tour with them - it was five weeks. And I made the five of them a schedule, one hour each. And we then worked every day at the hotels. They’d come in and I’d have time to build up their voices. Because they were so young - the voice is not at all fully developed - so you needed to be careful. And after that I was with them from the beginning to the end. I actually only finished this year, with Louis. He was the last of my boys. I then helped them in their solo careers, to get them ready, get their bands ready, and be there with them in the beginning. So that’s Louis.. he got set back due to Corona and the death of his mother, tragic circumstances. This year I finished [the voice work] with him, as the last one. So it's all great, they're all self-reliant now, and.. what is it you say, touch wood, that none of them have lost their voices. Once you build it built up, you can't really lose it. You may get tired, but you can't lose it. At least now they know how… or they can call me. But they’ve got this.

Helene Hørlyck talking about working with the One Direction boys from the X Factor and onto the launch of their solo careers.

Letter from Claude-Antoine Prieur to Louis XVI on the importance of having a unified metric system in France

[The letter is dated April 1790 and included a copy of Prieur's Mémoire sur la nécessité et les moyens de rendre uniformes, dans le royaume, toutes les mesures d'étendue et de pesanteur]

"Sire,

The reputation that your Majesty has gained through his passion for sciences and the protection with which he has constantly provided them inspired in me the desire to offer him a work I have done on the necessity and the means to bring all measures of France to uniformity.

I beg your Majesty to honour me for a moment of his attention, not much for some special merit concerning my work, but above all for the high importance of its content.

It is a great and beautiful idea, the one of giving to a great people a common and invariable measure, and, even better, to make it universal. Today, the difficulties related to the lack of precision in the procedures have been overcome; what is left is just a few prejudices relegated to the classes of ignorant people, of whom the triumphant voice of reason will dismiss the prestige.

France, England, the United States of America have addressed the matter not only in their own countries, but they are in open agreement to achieve an identical result.

Savants are rather convinced of the effectiveness of this operation for the advancement of science; but how much it will reveal itself useful in easing commercial relations, from the simplest exchanges, which people’s daily needs require, to the greatest speculations!

From this double perspective of science and commerce, the States of your Majesty maintain a distinguished position among civilised nations. After all, wisdom, moderation, in a word, all the virtues of your Majesty, suggest on his part an aspiring desire towards the noble glory of being included among the benefactors of humankind. May I be allowed to say that this is a fortunate occasion to add a new benefit to those that your subject already owe you: the reunion of your Majesty with other countries to procure the same measures would be a big improvement  and a favourable wish for the happiness of the people; nothing is more appropriate to strengthen in them the bonds of fraternity and concord like the sweet influence of Philosophy.

Respect has set limits that I am not entitled to go beyond. Nevertheless I thought to let truth arrive to the ears of a prince, who, because of his greatness of spirit, has always proven himself worthy of listening. To touch the heart of your Majesty, it is undoubtedly sufficient to mention a useful purpose: it will be even more touched to know that the probity, of which the operation in question is significantly the custodian, will put an end to the activities and tricks of the scoundrels.

I have persuaded myself that my disinterested homages would not be unpleasant; I am, with the utmost respect, your Majesty’s most humble and obedient servant."

— from G. Bouchard, Prieur de la Cote-d'Or, Pièces Annexées, p. 458 - 459

Organt English Translation Update

UPDATE: Chants 1-10 are done and editing is in progress before I continue. I am still open to feedback! The Google Docs file will continue to update as I make changes and add more.

EDIT 5/8/24: UPDATE: Chants 1-7 are updated and edited.

However, here is an alternative version although this link will not auto update with new chants or pages. This is only 1-10 as it is at the time of posting.

Here's what it looks like printed off. RIP my printer.

If this translation is an abomination of both French and English, I apologize and welcome feedback.

It's also entirely possible that I wasted time doing this as there is already a translation out there and I'm just too stupid to find it.

(drawing is for people who follow me for art. I gave you something)

J'ai mal fait; je pourrai faire mieux.

This is about Louis meeting Rena again, in front of his hotel in Santiago, Chile, 4 April 2024 x x x

Rena's Mum said that Louis recognised him and called him over. Louis smiled at the flowers and asked if they had anything for him to sign but he was hurried, so Louis asked them to wait until he return from the radio station so he could spend some time with Rena, and Ben repeated the instructions. One of Louis' bodyguards was translating for them. When Louis returned to the hotel, he and Rena hugged and Louis signed a DVD and CD.

Rena is the kid that Louis tweeted about in 2020, and then met at his LTWT Santiago concert in 2022.
