The Star-Bright Hour - Betti Alver - Estonia

Translator: Unknown (Estonian)

The wind won’t ask: to what did life amount? To yourself you’ll render your own account.

However long, however dark the night – your forehead bears your name in plain sight.

Each leaf that sees the sunlight falls unknown with all the rest. Yet each one falls alone.

No shining goal, no star to travel toward? Go and see what is consumerism’s reward.

Do you know how kindness grows, unseen and gentle? Why cruel deeds are never accidental? Why helmets rust unless they bloom and flower? Why life can never repeat its star-bright hour? Why tiny flames withstood the snowstorm’s test and flickered on within the human breast?

Go ask your betters, do their bidding. Go ask the dead. And then go ask the living.

But never ask yesterday for those who happened to stray across the sandy marsh into pitch-black night.

It’s all the same to them – was it spite that made the boatman take his chance without a light, or was it happenstance?

Corals In An Ancient River by Betti Alver

A shimmering rainbow's high ridge arched over the river that day. We stood on the cast-iron bridge; ahead lay your iron-paved way. Time's treasures have all lost their lustre, God's truth has a dull, lifeless glimmer; but the river flows stronger and faster where the beads of coral still shimmer.

Who are your favourite authors/who has influenced your style of writing ?

Thank you for the Ask!

Favourite authors change over time, of course, and some you might forget when asked, even though they probably had a huge influence on you at the time of first reading them. I also read quite a lot of non-fiction and poetry, which I believe influences my writing a lot, and all-in-all I believe we gather from various authors what we need at the time, so determining clear favourites overall is difficult.

Some authors who come to mind to me right now as concerns fiction though would be Jaan Kross, Karl Ristikivi, Betti Alver, Kivirähk, Juster Norton, Lindgren, Bulgakov, Tolstoi, Dostoyevsky, Hermann Hesse, Kafka, DFW, Hilary Mantel, China Mieville, Fernando Pessoa, Borges, Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, Woolf.

#it's been five seasons why the fuck are they not all wacky friends with begrudging respect for each other a la ugly betty#like???#why have we not seen stern alba and petra fucking shit up#or optimistic luisa and jane making fun of rafael#or adventures in babysitting with luisa alver#or the million of other pairings they could make#I could have done with some JR/Michael and trying to find new careers together#why is not jane & co. vs the world instead of them versus each other#this is jennie's second fuck up sadly her first being emily owens

How Poetry Broke me Open

Mis küsib elulahkmel heitlik maru! Kuid sina enesele annad endast aru.

What asks the errant storm at life’s crossroad ! But you must answer for yourself.

  Three and a half years ago, I was sitting shyly in Avignon, France around an unknown family’s table while laughter and curiosity and, yes, wordsdarted around me with…

everyone always says “whatever i don’t trust the cw” re: f/f relationships, and given last season that is fair, but this season there’s been a romantic wedding between two women on no tomorrow, and alex danvers came out on supergirl, and sara lance flirts with more girls every day

so idk call me naive if you’d like but i do genuinely believe that they are trying

#but more for luisa alver already plZ!!!! #oh and let liv on izombie kiss a girl #tv #lightsie post #in all my beronica posts there are always tags like #'but this is the cw so fuck that' #and like 1) literally everybody knows that the betty x veronica kiss is for the splash factor #even in the leaked pilot script the directions are like #'this is the watershed moment folks!!!!!!!11!! !!!!!!!' #but 2) don't take the cw down with that....... they're clearly trying in their dumb network way to figure out supporting wlw

jsjasjdb @ that one “love in english vs in native language post” is sounds so wrong to say it in estonian it’s unrealistic that that’s a word people use to describe romantic love it doesn’t sound right

yeah like it feels so artificial in some way, yet it’s defs not platonic, it’s like something Betti Alver once wrote about and we’re all just ‘aah. that thing. okay, let’s make it into a choir song arrangement and never use the word in everyday language ever again’

Betti Alver

Räägi tasa minuga, siis mu kuulmine on ergem. Räägi tasa minuga, tasa taibata on kergem. Inimrõõmu, hingehärmi tunnen-taban läbi tuule. Ainult surnud sõnalärmi kuuldeski mu kõrv ei kuule.
