Some Gaîtés Préalables / Preliminary Gayeties Hapgood translation notes!

I noticed a number of translation discrepancies in this chapter, and I'm sure there are more than these since I didn't go through the translation with a fine tooth comb.

1. “C’est un spectacle berveilleux, dit Joly.” / “It’s a marvellous sight,” said Joly.” This is the first instance that Joly's stuffed up state is shown through his speech (berveilleux instead of merveilleux), and at first I was so disappointed that Hapgood didn't mimic it in the translation but luckily later on in the chapter she does include the speech modification due to stuffy nose. I loved this so much, reminds me of Bilbo in The Hobbit when all he can say is "thag you very buch" due to his cold!

2. “Il fait un coup d’état, parce qu’il y a solution de continuité entre le présent et l’avenir, et parce que, lui Dieu, il n’a pas pu joindre les deux bouts.” “He effects a coup d’état because he, God, has not been able to make both ends meet.” The bolded line in French is skipped in the English translation here and I have no idea why, I really like this line. My attempt at a full translation of this sentence would be: "He stages a coup, because there is a gap between the present and future, and because he, God, hasn't been able to make the two ends meet."

3. “...et à voir tant de malaise en haut et en bas, tant de mesquinerie et de pingrerie et de ladrerie et de détresse au ciel et sur la terre...” “...and when I see so much distress in heaven and on earth...” This part of the very next sentence gets greatly simplified in the Hapgood translation. The French reads something like: "...and to see so much malaise on high and down low, so much pettiness and stinginess and rapacity and distress in heaven and on earth..."

4. “Voyez, c’est le cinq juin...” / “Here it is the 4th of June...” It's June 5th! Not June 4th? ONCE AGAIN Hapgood with the mistranslated numbers???? Can anyone explain this I'm so confused. Why would you change some number by one or two?? It's happened throughout the book with ages, hours, dates...

5. “L’enfant, choisissant sans hésiter parmi les trois, quoiqu’il n’en connût évidemment aucun, s’adressa à Laigle de Meaux.” “The child unhesitatingly making his choice among the three, addressed himself to Laigle de Meaux.” A fairly inconsequential omission here but the English once again skips the bold part of the sentence, reading in full: "The child, choosing among the three without hesitating, though evidently not knowing any of them, addressed himself to Laigle de Meaux."

There may be more but these are only the ones I noticed! What a great chapter, though, as I know we're all aware!

introducing my gender as the tangential cousin to "loverboy"; the similarly accoutred but inversely romance-related "haterboy"

#loverboy is such an important term to me. something about the gaiety implied by loverboy and the aesthetics of like #being described As Someone In Love rather than like. a person. sdkjfgh #the emotion comes before the gender y'know what i mean #however. haterboy... the equal opposite... the word for me when i'm aromantic and fucking sick of love... #but always enthusiastic about haterism... #i should show you guys my little pink and white haterboy bracelet it's so important to me #elite bracelet stack that goes 'aromantic' 'haterboy' 'slut' #valentine notes

#OTD in 1929 – Brian Friel, playwright and author of Dancing at Lughnasa, is born near Omagh, Co Tyrone.

“It is not the literal past, the ‘facts’ of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.” –Brian Friel When asked why he had two birth certificates, one dated 9 January 1929 and the other 10 January, the Irish playwright Brian Friel, replied: ‘Perhaps I’m twins.’ Originally from Tyrone, Friel moved to Derry at the age of 10. He went to the same Catholic boys’ grammar…

[...] She shone with the promise of a future, a future that would surely be better than the past. It sanctified her in the eyes of the audience. If they could have kept a piece of her — a finger bone, a lock of hair, even a pom-pom — they would have.

So my mom has this old puzzle that looks like this:

I always liked it because to me, this looks like a butch and femme lesbian couple. And it's a cute little puzzle! On the back side, there's a second puzzle! Flip it over, and bam! Two women! I jokingly say "Ay! More lesbians!"

Then I look closer...

THEY ARE LESBIANS!!!

I am going to look up what the deal with this image was when I get some free time, feel free to beat me to it, Tumblr!

Ad for Homo Biscuits, a now-forgotten product of the National Biscuit Company. Published not in a magazine, but in a magazine-like program booklet for the Gaiety Theater, August 21, 1916.
