« Je suis l’amant de la beauté immortelle et sans entraves »
Tumblr media
« À vrai dire, peu d’adultes sont capables de voir la nature. La plupart des gens ne voient pas le soleil. Du moins en ont-ils une vision très superficielle. Le soleil ne fait qu’éclairer l’œil de l’homme, alors qu’il brille à la fois dans l’œil et dans le cœur de l’enfant. L’amoureux de la nature est celui dont les sens internes et externes sont encore réellement ajustés les uns aux autres et qui a gardé l’esprit d’enfance jusque dans l’âge adulte. Son commerce avec le ciel et la terre devient une part de sa nourriture quotidienne. En présence de la nature, une joie sauvage parcourt cet homme, en dépit des chagrins réels. La nature dit : “Il est ma créature, et malgré l’insolence de son affliction il sera heureux avec moi.” Ce n’est pas le soleil ou l’été seulement, mais chaque heure, chaque saison qui apporte son lot de plaisir ; car chaque heure et chaque changement correspondent, en même temps qu’ils le permettent, à un état d’esprit différent, de midi où ne circule pas le moindre souffle d’air jusqu’au minuit le plus noir. La nature est un décor qui convient aussi bien pour jouer une pièce triste que comique. Lorsqu'on est en bonne santé, l'air est un cordial d'une incroyable efficacité. Traversant au crépuscule, sous un ciel nuageux, un terrain dénudé parsemé de plaques de neige boueuse sans avoir présente à l'esprit l'idée d'une bonne fortune particulière, j'ai joui d'un sentiment d'allégresse parfaite. J’éprouvai une joie qui touche à l’angoisse. Dans les bois aussi, un homme se débarrasse de ses années comme le serpent de son ancienne peau – et à quelque période de la vie qu’il soit, il est toujours un enfant. Dans les bois se trouve la jeunesse éternelle. Parmi ces plantations de Dieu règnent la grandeur et le sacré, une fête éternelle est apprêtée et l’invité ne voit pas comment il pourrait s’en lasser en un millier d’années. Dans les bois, nous revenons à la raison et à la foi. Là, je sens que rien ne peut m’arriver dans la vie, ni disgrâce, ni calamité (mes yeux m’étant laissé) que la nature ne puisse réparer. Debout sur le sol nu, la tête baignée par l’air joyeux et soulevée dans l’espace infini, tous nos petits égoïsmes s’évanouissent. Je deviens une pupille transparente ; je ne suis rien, je vois tout ; les courants de l’Être universel circulent à travers moi ; je suis une partie ou une parcelle de Dieu. Le nom de l’ami le plus cher sonne alors comme étranger et fortuit : être frère ou ami, maître ou serviteur apparaît comme un embarras et un détail sans valeur. Je suis l’amant de la beauté immortelle et sans entraves. Dans la nature sauvage, je trouve quelque chose de plus cher et de plus primordial que dans les rues ou les villages. À travers la tranquillité du paysage, et spécialement sur la ligne lointaine de l’horizon, l’homme contemple quelque chose d’aussi magnifique que sa propre nature. Le plus grand plaisir que procurent les champs et les bois est la secrète relation qu’ils suggèrent entre l’homme et les végétaux. Je ne suis pas seul et inconnu. Ils me font signe, et moi de même. »
La Nature (1836), ​Ralph Waldo Emerson​ (Allia, 2004).
Pour se plonger dans le transcendantalisme - qui m’occupe tellement ces jours-ci ! - il faut partir de ce texte fondateur d’Emerson, premier philosophe américain de l’histoire, celui même qui prêta son désormais fameux terrain de Walden à Thoreau dont il fut le mentor. Pour ce qui est de Walden, on connaît la suite. Toujours aussi riche à arpenter dans nos confinements encabanés...

24 great books for quarantined sports fans
Tumblr media
From ‘Ball Four’ to ‘Out of Sight’, here are a few books you can come back to over and over again
I love my books. They have traveled with me across the country and back again, prominently displayed in cheap bookcases throughout dozens of apartments around the Northeast. Currently, they are stretched out behind me in my home office where they will stay until the time comes to move off the grid. They will follow me there, as well.
I have read all of them at least once and several of them dozens of times. During periods of my life when I was without human companionship they were literally my only friends. That’s not said for sympathy. The life of a newspaper sportswriter in the 90s and early 2000s involved shitty hours and weekends, which pretty much negated any hopes of having a social life.
Through it all, my books were there for me. They demanded nothing but my time and gave me hours of entertainment.
I’m not particularly proud of my collection. There is very little literature to be found and only a handful of what one might refer to as great works. It mainly comprises sports books, rock star biographies, and a nearly complete set of Elmore Leonard novels.
Most of them are several decades old because I had to stop buying books at some point when I began to run out of room. I’m not linking to them because you can hopefully find an independent bookstore near you that would be thrilled for the business. Do them and humanity a favor.
Here are some of my favorites.
BASKETBALL
The Breaks of the Game: David Halberstam
This is the monster of all sports books, the one against which every basketball book is competing with in one way or another. If you know nothing of the NBA pre-LeBron James, this is where you should start. It’s a window into what feels like another universe, when pro basketball was a cult sport struggling for survival.
Loose Balls: Terry Pluto
I wrote about this one at length and won’t belabor the points I made back before the world came to a screeching halt. If you can’t get into the stories contained within these pages, I frankly don’t want to know you.
The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: The FreeDarko collective
It’s an exaggeration to say every person who heard the first Velvet Underground album went out and formed a band, just as it is to suggest that every writer who consumed FreeDarko wound up writing about basketball on the internet. But almost everyone who did was influenced by them.
The Miracle of St. Anthony: Adrian Wojnarowski
Long before he was the great and powerful Woj, the author spent an entire season with Bob Hurley’s St. Anthony Friars. It’s a masterful bit of storytelling that for my money is the absolute best of the surprisingly robust sub-genre of books about high school basketball.
Other contenders include The Last Shot by Darcy Frey, Fall River Dreams by Bill Reynolds and In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle by Madeleine Blais.
The Jordan Rules: Sam Smith
Judging from the early reactions to the gigantic Bulls documentary, it’s quite clear a lot of you should get familiar with the source material. Smith’s book was shocking upon its release because it dared show Michael Jordan as he really was, without the buffed out Nike shine. It holds up, clearly.
Halbertsam’s Playing for Keeps picks up the story in 1998 and provided much of the narrative structure of the first two episodes.
Heaven is a Playground: Rick Telander
An all-time classic set on the courts of mid-1970s Harlem during a long, hot summer. There are a lot of books that tried to get at the soul of basketball, but this is the standard bearer. I’d really like to know whatever became of Sgt. Rock.
Others in this vein include The City Game by Pete Axthelm, Pacific Rims by Rafe Bartholomew and Big Game, Small World by Alexander Wolff.
Second Wind: Bill Russell
The best athlete autobiography of all time.
BASEBALL
Lords of the Realm: John Heylar
The inside story of how baseball owners conspired for almost a century to suppress salaries while refusing to integrate. It’s shocking how buffoonish management acted during the glory days of the national pastime. Required reading.
Marvin Miller’s A Whole New Ballgame is a worthy companion piece, as is Bill Veeck’s delightful, Veeck as in Wreck.
Ball Four: Jim Bouton
Scandalous upon its release in 1970, Ball Four contains the best line ever written in any sport book: “You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.”
I read Ball Four for the first time in fifth grade and immediately taught my classmates the words to “Proud to be an Astro”:
Now, Harry Walker is the one who manages this crew
He doesn’t like it when we drink and fight and smoke and screw
But when we win our game each day,
Then what the fuck can Harry say?
It makes a fellow proud to be an Astro
Seasons in Hell: Mike Shropshire
There is nothing more soul-crushing than spending an entire season with a bad team. Shropshire covers three hilariously inept campaigns with the Texas Rangers, who as then-manager Whitey Herzog noted: “Defensively, these guys are really sub-standard, but with our pitching it really doesn’t matter.”
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning: Jonathan Mahler
An underrated late addition to the pantheon that tells the story of the 1977 Yankees amid the backdrop of a city gone to hell.
You will notice there are few books in my collection about modern baseball. There’s a reason for that. The vast majority of them are peans to the wonders of middle management and therefore boring as hell.
FOOTBALL
Playing For Keeps: Chris Mortsensen
The incredibly bizarre — and largely forgotten — story of how the mob tried to gain influence in pro football via a pair of shady agents named Norby Walters and Lloyd Bloom. Good luck finding it.
Bringing the Heat: Mark Bowden
You may recognize Bowden from such masterworks as Black Hawk Down and Killing Pablo. You probably don’t remember that he spent a year with the Eagles after the death of Jerome Brown. As honest and unflinching a look at pro football as you will ever find.
North Dallas Forty: Peter Gent
The only piece of sports fiction on my list is not so fictional at all. Gent’s thinly-veiled account of his own life as a receiver for Tom Landry’s Cowboys is shocking and brutal and sad and poignant. I make time to read it every year.
I used to have more football books, back when I cared about the sport.
MEDIA
Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail: Hunter S. Thompson
The Vegas one is more popular and Hell’s Angels is a stronger work of reportage, but for a dose of pure Gonzo insanity, this is the book I come back to more often than not.
The Boys on the Bus: Timothy Crouse
The companion piece to Thompson’s lurid account, Crouse plays it straight and lays bare the bullshit facade of campaign reporting. Almost 50 years later, we have still learned nothing.
The Franchise: Michael McCambridge
Details the glory days of Sports Illustrated, reading it now feels like an obituary. It was fun once, this business of writing about sports.
MUSIC
Heads, a Biography of Psychedelic America: Jesse Jarnow
My favorite book of the last few years, Jarnow takes us on a bizarre trip through the byzantine world of psychedelic drug networks connecting it through the career of the Grateful Dead and into modern-day Silicon Valley. I’m waiting for the followup on Dealer McDope.
Not music, but as a companion piece, Nicholas Schou’s Orange Sunshine tells the even-crazier tale of The Brotherhood of Eternal Love, who took over the LSD trade and invented hash smuggling by stuffing surfboards with primo Afghani hash and shipping them back to California.
The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones: Stanley Booth
Reported while on tour with the Stones at the height of their powers circa Let it Bleed, Booth took 15 years to write the damn thing. By then the Stones were already an anachronism. It’s all there, though. Sex, drugs, more drugs, and unbelievable access to the biggest rock ‘n roll band in the world.
This Wheel’s on Fire: Levon Helm with Stephen Davis
In which Brother Levon disembowels Robbie Robertson and exposes the lie at the heart of The Band. Robbie took the songwriting credit and all the money.
Satan is Real: Charlie Louvin
Astonishingly good read that is best consumed with Charlie and his brother Ira playing low in the background.
Mainlines, Blood Feasts, and Bad Taste: A Lester Bangs Reader
Lester is an acquired taste and not all of his ramblings hold up. I will always love him for despising Jim Morrison and completely nailing what made Black Sabbath important. Spoiler: They were moralists like William S. Burroughs.
Please Kill Me: Legs McNeil and Gillian Welch
The definitive oral history of punk rock, an essential document of a scene that launched a thousand mediocre bands and the Ramones, who ruled.
Shakey: Jimmy McDonough
A tour-de-force biography of Neil Young that loses steam toward the end when McDonough makes himself the subject. The stuff about Neil’s bizarre 80s period and his relationship with his son is heartbreaking.
Our Band Could Be Your Life: Michael Azerrad
Pretty much everything you need to know about bands like Mudhoney, Black Flag and Mission of Burma who wove together the musical underground through a patchwork collection of local scenes back when something like that was still possible.
ELMORE LEONARD
You can’t go wrong with anything Leonard writes, but Out of Sight is as good a place to start as any.

HOT ROD Highlights from 20, 40, and 60 Years Ago: Inside Our Jan. 1959, ’79, and ’99 Issues
20 Years Ago January 1999 (124 pages, $3.50): Numbers as cover blurbs are time-honored attention-getters on newsstands, especially when attached to the word “free.” Before Steve Magnante became a big star of the small screen, our then–tech editor came through with 50 tips and one killer title: “Mo’ Go Fo’ No Dough.” His junkyard-350 buildup did not live up to the 300 horses promised for $500 (covers printed weeks before the inside pages), but “Magneto” got close: 283 hp on the dyno for $533, including a $130 long-block and a $25 swap-meet Weiand manifold. Gray Baskerville contributed an illustrated history of gasser-racer-turned-author Don Montgomery.
40 Years Ago January 1979 (100 pages, $1.25): A nice balance of ancient history and modern technology ranged from a career retrospective of HRM co-founder Bob Petersen and fresh Bonneville Nationals coverage to road tests of Pete Chapouris Jr.’s trick 1927 T track roadster and the first turbocharged Mustang Cobra. We loved the lightweight ponycar’s handling and economy (17.7 to 29.5 mpg), but its 2.3L (140ci), two-barrel four-banger couldn’t break 80 mph in repeated tries at Orange County International Raceway (79.29 in 17.36 seconds).
60 Years Ago January 1959 (100 pages, 35¢): Art Chrisman, brother Lloyd, and benefactor Frank Cannon (left to right) abandoned the pretty-but-problematic front-mount blower shortly after Eric Rickman bagged the cover shot and inside feature—rarities for any nitro-burner in Petersen monthlies during the 1958–1963 nationwide fuel ban enforced by NHRA leader and HRM Editor Wally Parks. Remounting the 6-71 topside rewarded Art with instant immortality as Top Fuel Eliminator of the inaugural U.S. Fuel & Gas Championships this March. At the opposite end of the package, Dick Flint’s Hot Rod Mart photo ad offered his now-famous track roadster “in perfect condition throughout” for $2,500.

23 Valentines Day Picture Books for Kids
“This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more information.”
Valentines Day is such a fun holiday to celebrate with kids. Especially when there are so many fun books to read about love with them. I’ve created a list of the best Valentines Day picture books for kids for you to choose from.
Happy Valentines Day, Mouse! “If You Give…” series, this title follows Mouse as he makes valentines for all of his friends. Each valentine is made to represent what he loves most about each of his friends, such as Pig “because she’s a good dancer” and Bunny “because she’s the best at hide-and-seek.”
Pete the Cat- Valentines Day is Cool.  Complete with poster, punch-out valentine cards, and stickers! Pete the Cat thinks Valentine’s Day isn’t cool . . . until he realizes how many special cats there are in his life! Pete works hard to make valentines for everyone, and it turns out to be the grooviest Valentine’s Day ever. But what happens when he realizes he’s forgotten to make a card for a very important cat? Join Pete the Cat as he discovers just how special Valentine’s Day can be!
Star Wars A Very Vader Valentines Day. Includes sixteen pages of jokes, comics, activities, and mini-bios about famous Star Wars friendships. And when you’re done, tear out the thirty-two perforated Valentine’s Day cards to share with your friends and loved ones: “You R2 Good to Me!”
Llama Llama I Love You.  In Llama Llama I Love You, little llama shows his friends and family how much he loves them with heart-shaped cards and lots of hugs. What could be sweeter than Llama Llama on Valentine’s Day?
Love from the Very Hungry Caterpillar.  “You are the cherry on my cake; you make the sun shine brighter; you make my heart flutter.” Using a range of images from the World of Eric Carle, and featuring the Very Hungry Caterpillar, this special gift book gives all the reasons why someone special makes the world a better and brighter place. Perfect for that someone special any day of the year!
The Day it Rained Hearts.  One day it rains hearts, and Cornelia Augusta catches them. She realizes that the hearts are perfect for making valentines. Each heart is special in its own way, and Cornelia Augusta knows exactly who to send them to: her animal friends.
The Biggest Valentine Ever. When Mrs. Mousely asks her class to make valentines, Clayton and Desmond decide to make one together and give it to their teacher as a surprise. But things don’t go as planned. First Clayton puts too much glitter on the card. Then Desmond puts on too many hearts. Soon the friends are arguing and they rip the card in half. “I’m going to make my own valentine!” they both say and go home in a huff. But then Desmond and Clayton realize that by working together they can make the biggest, best valentine ever! Kids can use the colorful foil stickers to make their own valentines!
Happy Valentines Day Curious George.  George and his friends celebrate Valentine’s Day with decorating, baking, card making and some unexpected hilarity along the way! Just how much mischief can a curious little monkey get into when balloons, frosting, and glitter are involved?
