Batsheeret Ovoo

A famous Mongolian Ovoo on the way to Binder. An ovoo is a type of shamanistic cairn found in Mongolia, usually made from rocks. Ovoos are often found at the top of mountains and in high places, like mountain passes. They serve mainly as religious sites, used in worship of the mountains and the sky as well as in Buddhist ceremonies, but often are also landmarks.

Violonisto Jones

el Vikipedio Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950). Edgar Lee Masters Edgar Lee Masters Spoon River Anthology. 1916. 60. Fiddler Jones THE EARTH keeps some vibration going There in your heart, and that is you. And if the people find you can fiddle, Why, fiddle you must, for all your life. What do you see, a harvest of clover? Or a meadow to walk through to the river? The wind’s in the corn; you rub your hands For beeves hereafter ready for market; Or else you hear the rustle of skirts Like the girls when dancing at Little Grove. To Cooney Potter a pillar of dust Or whirling leaves meant ruinous drouth; They looked to me like Red-Head Sammy Stepping it off, to “Toor-a-Loor.” How could I till my forty acres Not to speak of getting more, With a medley of horns, bassoons and piccolos Stirred in my brain by crows and robins And the creak of a wind-mill—only these? And I never started to plow in my life That some one did not stop in the road And take me away to a dance or picnic. I ended up with forty acres; I ended up with a broken fiddle— And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories, And not a single regret. Violonisto Jones Violonisto Jones Edgar Lee Masters (1868–1950). Spoon River Antologio. 1916. 60. Violonisto Jones La Tero retenas iom da vibrado tie en via koro, kaj tio estas vi. Kaj se la homoj pensas, ke vi povas violoni, vi devas violoni dum via tuta vivo. Kion vi vidas? Rikolton de trifolioj? Aŭ herbejon, tra kiu kondukas la vojo al la rivero? La vento estas en la greno. Vi frotas al vi la manojn, se vi imagas kiel vi kondukas aŭtune la bovojn al la foirplaco. Aŭ vi aŭdas la susuradon de la jupoj simile al la knabinoj, se ili dancas en Little Groves. Por Konjo Poter kolono el polvo aŭ kirlantaj folioj signifis ruinigan senpluvecon. Al mi ili aspektis kiel la ruĝharara Samĉjo, kiu stepdancas sen interrompo laŭ "Toor-a-Loor". Kiel mi estu pluginta miajn kvardek akreojn? Por ne paroli pri tio kiel avide kunskrapi eĉ pli da ili, kiam sinsekvo de kornoj, bassonoj kaj pikoloflutoj jam komencis ludi, se mi nur ekaŭdis korvon aŭ ruĝgorĝulon aŭ eĉ nur la knaradon de ventmulejeo? Mi en mia tuta vivo ne komencis plugi sen tio, ke iu haltis ĉe la kamporando por forkonduki min al danco aŭ al pikniko. Mi finis kun kvardek akreoj, mi finis kun disrompita violono, kun forrompita ridado kaj mil da memoroj - kaj sen eĉ ununura bedaŭro. Rimarko: Little Groves = laŭsence tie, kie ĉio nur kresketas, do, loko sen abundo kaj sen riĉo.

Stone with Mongolian Script

The Mongolian vertical script was developed as an adaption of the Uyghur script to write the Mongolian language. It was introduced by the Uyghur scribe Tatar-Tonga, who had been captured by the Mongols during a war against the Naimans around 1204. There were no substantive changes to the Uyghur form for the first few centuries, so that, for example, initial yodh stood for both [dʒ] and [j], while medial tsadi stood for both [dʒ] and [tʃ], and there was no letter for in initial position. Mongolian sources often distinguish the early forms by using the term Uyghurjin script. Western sources tend to use this term as a synonym for all variations of the Mongolian script.
