BOOKS I READ IN 2023
Here's what I read in 2023. What has now become an annual tradition of sorts!
An unusual year in reading for me. The first half of the year was very slow, and I mostly finished two long books I've been trying to finish for years by William Morris and Robert Musil. Then the PSAC strike, and more time to read. After that, I made a reading plan and stuck to it, trying to read every day at least a chapter of a book on the list. I also ended up re-reading several books this year - transcribing notes at first, I ended up going over the entire book a second time. I also tried to take extensive notes on every new book. I also snuck a few theses I read onto the list - it feels weird not to include a several hundred page work I went over with a fine-toothed comb. Mostly academic books, germane to my own research and writing, but some strong forays into topics I don't normally think about much. Plus some genuinely good 'amateur' history, too.
Re-reads are marked by a plus sign and my most enjoyable or interesting reads are marked with an asterisk.

L'amour nous fait trembler comme un jeune feuillage,
Car chacun de nous deux a peur du même instant.
« Mon bien-aimé, dis-tu très bas, je t'aime tant...
Laisse... Ferme les yeux... Ne parle pas... Sois sage... »
Je te devine proche au feu de ton visage.
Ma tempe en fièvre bat contre ton cœur battant.
Et, le cou dans tes bras, je frissonne en sentant
Ta gorge nue et sa fraîcheur de coquillage.
Ecoute au gré du vent la glycine frémir.
C'est le soir ; il est doux d'être seuls sur la terre,
L'un à l'autre, muets et faibles de désir.
D'un baiser délicat tu m'ouvres la paupière ;
Je te vois, et, confuse, avec un long soupir,
Tu souris dans l'attente heureuse du mystère.
Charles Guérin.

IL A PLU.
Il a plu, Soir de Juin. Ecoute,
Par la fenêtre large ouverte,
Tomber le reste de l'averse
De feuille en feuille, goutte à goutte.
C'est l'heure choisie entre toutes
Où flotte à travers la campagne
L'odeur de vanille qu'exhale
La poussière humide des routes
L'hirondelle joyeuse jase.
Le soleil déclinant se croise
Avec la nuit sur les collines
Et son mourant sourire essuie
Sur la chair pâle des glycines
Les cheveux d'argent de la pluie.
Charles Guérin (Le cœur solitaire)

Witches, with hearts like a wild song
I love this so I had to look it up and is it Charles Guérin? It said it was from The Bridal Night but I couldn’t find the entire poem and the wiki page for Guérin is only in French. I’d love to know more about him!
[ send me a poem or a piece of a poem you love! ]

Quote
Ne mêle pas l'esprit aux choses de la chair.
Sache, aux moments secrets où le corps est en fête,
Redescendre à l'obscur délire de la bête.
Tumultueux et sourd et fort comme la mer,
Laisse gronder tes sens en orgues de tempête,
Et que sous l'onde en feu de tes baisers halète
L'orgueilleuse impudeur de la beauté parfaite.
Il faut qu'au fond des soirs lourds et silencieux
Où la bouche à la bouche enfin veut être unie,
Tu puisses concentrer tout en toi l'harmonie
Qui fait chanter le char des nuits sur ses essieux,
Que l'éternel effort des êtres t'aide à vivre
Au delà du désir humain, que ton sang ivre
Murmure comme l'eau, les blés et la forêt :
Emplis-toi, comme un broc qu'on plonge au puits, d'un trait ;
Alors la nuit d'amour éteindra ta pensée,
Ta chair que la nature étreint en épousée
Bourdonnera sans fin d'une immense rumeur :
Sois simple et grand ; ton grain porte un monde, semeur !
Charles Guérin - Ne Mêle Pas L’esprit Aux Choses De La Chair.
