I'm projecting, with Olandesina, a long travel trough Europe. It's not for tourism but with your help could become the same quite amusing. We need your advises and suggestions. We are still not sure to leave. Maybe, in the first days of May, we'll go by car from Asti (a town in the north Italy, near Torino) to Helsinky, Finland.
Something is already set and can't be changed: we'll go by car, an old diesel italian car. We'll probably take a ferry in Tallin (Estony), with the car (we don't want to take the ferry in Germany). I don't have passport, and it's too late for having one now, so we can travel only in EU countries or countries that accept italian ID cards. We're not interested in stopping or crossing big cities (like Praga or Berlin, p.e., althought we like them very much) otherwise we'd like to stop in intersting and people-friendly towns and villages.
We'd like to cross good places for taking photos and enjoy the panorama and the people but we can't pass through old and boondocks country roads with our little and unsafe italian car. We'd like to stay in comfortable but quite cheap hotels or pensions or whatever (we are poor), but they should have an internal garage because our car will be full of things that we can't loose. Or they should be in a very safe place (once in Praha, with the same car, someone stole everything that was inside).
It's not a round trip, it's a "one way" so we need suggestions only for asti-helsinky and not for the coming back.
We don't have any ideas about where we should pass and stop. If we won't leave your suggestions will be the same useful for the future next travels. Please help! Thank you!!!
Take a long time with your anger,
Sleepyhead.
Don’t waste it in riots.
Don’t tangle it with ideas.
The Devil won’t let me speak,
Will only let me hint
That you are a slave,
Your misery a deliberate policy
Of those in whose thrall you suffer,
And who are sustained
By your misfortune.
The atrocities over there,
The interior paralysis over here –
Pleased with the better deal?
You are clamped down.
You are being bred for pain.
The Devil ties my tongue.
I’m speaking to you,
‘friend of my scribbled life.’
You have been conquered by those
Who know how to conquer invisibly.
The curtains move so beautifully,
Lace curtains of some sweet old intrigue:
The Devil tempting me
To turn away from alarming you.
So I must say it quickly:
Whoever is in your life,
Those who harm you,
Those who help you;
Those whom you know
And those whom you do not know –
Let them off the hook,
Help them off the hook.
Recognize the hook.
You are listening to Radio Resistance.
Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing (2007)
Stai lì buono con la tua rabbia,
Dormiglione.
Non la sprecare in inutili risse.
Non ingarbugliarla di idee.
Il Diavolo non mi farà parlare,
Mi lascerà soltanto insinuare
Che tu sei un servo,
Che la tua miseria è una politica voluta
Da quelli che ti hanno ridotto in schiavitù
E che si sostentano
Con la tua sfortuna.
Quegli orrori, laggiù
Quelle paralisi interne, laggiù -
Sei contento di questo nuovo corso?
Sei totalmente soggiogato.
Vieni allevato per soffrire.
Il Diavolo mi annoda la lingua.
Guarda che parlo con te,
"Compagno della mia vita abbozzata"
Sei caduto nelle mani di coloro
Che invisibili sanno dominare
Delle tende svolazzano con eleganza,
Tende di pizzo di qualche
Antico, tenero intrigo:
Il Diavolo mi tenta
Non vuole che ti metta in guardia.
Devo dirlo alla svelta, perciò:
Chiunque ci sia nella tua vita,
Quelli che ti danneggiano,
Quelli che ti aiutano;
Quelli che conosci,
E quelli che non conosci
Lascia che se la passino liscia
Aiutali a passarla liscia
Stai in guardia
Siete all'ascolto di Radio Resistenza.
Leonard Cohen, Libro del Desiderio (2007)
