One Day in Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen
Friday, April 9, 2010: A panel discussion and reading, sponsored by the Danish Writers Union, with Slovenian poet Ales Debeljak, Danish novelist Janne Teller and me (curated by Danish poet and translator Aleksandar Sajin) -- just before the volcano!

Hans Christian Andersen and admirers
The Ugly Duckling
"Into the garden presently came some little children, and threw bread and cake into the water.
“'See,' cried the youngest, 'there is a new one;' and the rest were delighted, and ran to their father and mother, dancing and clapping their hands, and shouting joyously, 'There is another swan come; a new one has arrived.'
"Then they threw more bread and cake into the water, and said, 'The new one is the most beautiful of all; he is so young and pretty.' And the old swans bowed their heads before him.
"Then he felt quite ashamed, and hid his head under his wing; for he did not know what to do, he was so happy, and yet not at all proud. He had been persecuted and despised for his ugliness, and now he heard them say he was the most beautiful of all the birds. Even the elder-tree bent down its bows into the water before him, and the sun shone warm and bright. Then he rustled his feathers, curved his slender neck, and cried joyfully, from the depths of his heart, 'I never dreamed of such happiness as this, while I was an ugly duckling.'"
Hans Christian Andersen, "The Ugly Duckling"

Without the earth who can not turn out? Unless you really want to live, or who fail to do so is also the way you live. Usually we? "Only" thing is just not true, but we do not have motives to find it. True love from the heart of admiration from each other, built on the basis of sexual gratification. Any crazy love only at the expense of others whether they have loved, or the only pick I wonder if people really pay ; do not have a good ending. If love has become the past, let it vanish into thin air right; flower Thanks, on looking for another one; do to move with tears of love. Even if the love is gone, life continues, like, good health transportation in the future, may Perhaps the fate of control in your hands
