Ο Παράδεισος Του Μαγιακόφσκυ - Mayakovsky's Paradise

 Το κείμενο που ακολουθεί είναι μέρος απο το θεατρικό του Μαγιακόφσκυ, με τιτλο "Mystery Bouffe", που έγραψε το 1918. Σ'αυτό, σατυρίζει την θρησκεία. Περιγράφει μια μάχη ανάμεσα σε δυό ομάδες, τους "Ακάθαρτους" (Εργατική Τάξη) και τους "Καθαρούς" (Ανώτερη Τάξη). Συμβαίνει τοτε ενας μεγαλος κατακλυσμός, η γη καταστρέφεται και οι επιζώντες αναζητούν καταφύγιο στον Βόρειο Πόλο. Οι Ακάθαρτοι νικούν τους Καθαρούς και δημιουργούν έναν εργατικό παράδεισο στη γη, όπου οι άνθρωποι ζούν με ζεστασιά και φως παράγοντας ηλεκτρισμό απο τα κύματα. Στο τέλος της Δεύτερης πράξης, οι Ακάθαρτοι βλέπουν έναν άντρα που θεωρούν οτι ειναι ο "Χριστός" μια και περπατάει στο νερό. Αυτός ο "Χριστός" όμως διδάσκει άλλα πράγματα:



Ο Παράδεισος μου είναι για όλους,
εκτός απ' τους πτωχούς τω πνεύματι,
που ειναι πρησμένοι όσο το φεγγάρι
απο τη νηστεία τη Σαρακοστή.
Μια καμήλα μπορει να περάσει πιο εύκολα
απο το μάτι μιας βελόνας, παρά ενας ελέφαντας
να εισέλθει στο βασίλειο μου.
Ελάτε προς εμένα
ολοι εσείς που έχετε με πραότητα μαχαιρώσει τον εχθρό
και κατόπιν απομακρυνθεί απο το πτώμα του
μ' ένα τραγούδι στα χείλη σας!
Έλα εσύ ανελέητε!
Έχεις πρώτος το δικαίωμα εισόδου
στο βασίλειο μου-
που είναι επίγειο ,όχι επουράνιο!
Ελάτε όλοι εσείς που δεν είστε φορτωμένα μουλάρια,
και όλοι εσείς που η ζωή σας είναι απάνθρωπη
και αβάσταχτη!
Το βασίλειο μου -επίγειο όχι επουράνιο-
είναι για σας. (...)

Τhe following is a part of "Mystery Bouffe' , written by Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1918.In Mystery-Bouffe, a religious mystery play which mocked religion, the poet described a struggle between two groups, the "Unclean" working class and the "Clean" upper class. The earth has been destroyed by a flood, the survivors seek refuge at the North Pole. The "Unclean" defeat the "Clean" and create a workers' paradise on Earth, where people "will live in warmth and light, having had electricity move in waves". At the end of Act II, the Unclean see a man they identify as “Christ” walking across the water. This Christ, however, preaches a new, worldly gospel:


My Paradise is for everyone
except the poor in spirit,
who are swollen up as big as the moon
from fasting in Lent.
A camel can pass through the eye of a needle more easily
than such an elephant
can enter my kingdom.
Come unto me
all you have calmly stabbed the enemy,
and then walked away from his corpse
with a song on your lips!
Come, unforgiving one!
You have first right of entry
into my kingdom-
which is earthly, not heavenly!
Come all who are not pack mules,
and all for whom life is cruel
and unbearable!
My kingdom -earthly not heavenly-
is for you. (...)

This design is spectacular! You definitely know how
to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit
and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost...HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you had
to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own
a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback?

If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in

Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thanks

I've been surfing online greater than three hours these days, but I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made just right content
material as you did, the web can be a lot more useful than ever
before.
