| Hey, if you get to go to Ireland this winter, ask the O'Regan's if I can come as well ! And let me know when you go exactly so that we go at the same time! About Irish History, we have much time to talk, on the internet, or in Ireland. There are so many things to say I feel I'll never finish. Charlotte |

| ok, from the beggining? romans came to iberic peninsula and all peninsula belonged to them, except for Euskadi ( where u should know they still speak Basc, a language that it is thought it comes from celtic countries, latin never got in there). after romans in the middle age there were kings in catalonia, when the last one died with no sons catalonia became part of "corona d'aragó", with the country besides it. then i famous king Jaume I, conquered the islands "balears", "part of sardenya"( italy), "rosselló" (france) and " pais valencià". they r called the catalan countries so all these lands talked catalan. then one king got married with the daughter of spain. then the peninsula was like usa, every one with their own rules. after, an stupid king decided to conquer catalan countries and portugal because he... wanted a country with one flag, one language... one nationality. well, he brought soldiers to control. we got angry because they were not polite at all so a war started in portugal and in catalonia. for castella (old spain) it was more important to have catalonia so they left portugal free and with the full army attaked catalonia. we lost but we kept our culture. after that, spain had more kings until one died with no sons and then spain had to choice between a french one ( borbon family, it was like a dictation, castella wanted this one) and a austriac one (catalan countries wanted this one). then britain said they were going to help us, but of course they were agreeing with france. after all that, the borbon king came to spain and tried to fight againts catalan countries. just barcelona was still free. they had to wait outside barcelona's doors more than 1 year and a half. then the 11th of september ( that looks like a fashion) happened the barcelona's siege. centurys later Franco came with a dictation, no one could speak catalan, basc or gallec, no flags, no songs and dances,... no culture, just one spain. here ETA came ( and thanks god they killed the following dictator) and catalan groups came to try to be free. in catalonia, país valencià, balears still speak catalan, we have our flags. we lost rossello against france. something i forgot, before franco there was Napoleon and he divided spain, catalonia belonged to france for some years. that's very long, sorry, hey what about if some one tells me irish history, i'm really interested. |

French poem about Ireland. I translated it into English for you. |
| Written by Charlotte. (24/10-2002) |
| Le Voyageur The traveller "Voyageur, que cherches-tu, toi qui passes? "Traveller, what are you looking for, you who go past? Si tu cherches la beauté, va à Florence, pars à Tolède, If u’re looking for beauty, go to Florence, go to Toledo, Si tu cherches l'étrange, isole-toi à Pâques ou à la Trinité, ou dans une autre île des mers tièdes, If u’re looking for the strangeness, isolate yourself to Pâques or to Trinity (these are two islands but in French, it also means "never in a month of Sundays") , or in an other island of the warm seas, Si tu cherches le plaisir, paie-toi la Dominique ou la plus belle des Marquises, If you’re looking for pleasure, buy the Dominique or the prettiest marquise (Marquises also means Marquesas islands in French) Si tu cherches la foi, perds-toi à Lhassa ou sur les rives ocres des eaux de Galilée. If you’re looking for faith, loose yourself in Lhassa or on the brown banks of the Galilee’s water Si tu cherches une femme, longe la Seine à l'heure où les bouquinistes plient, ou visite un pays où la guerre est finie, à l'heure où les veuves sont si belles. If you’re looking for a woman, walk on the Seine’s banks at the moment on the secondhands booksellers go away, or visit a country where the war is finished, at the moment on the widows are so pretty. Si tu cherches une mémoire, fouille le fond de Jerusalem ou le fond de ton grenier, If u’re looking for a memory, go to search through Jerusalem or through your attic, Si tu cherches un poète, erre dans les soirs des monts d'Arrée, If u’re looking for a poet, wander in the evenings of the Arrée’s mountains, Si tu cherches un marin, traverse Concarneau le jour où les goélands se taisent. If u’re looking for a seaman, past through Concarneau, the day on the sea gulls go silence Si tu cherches un con, rase-toi. If u’re looking for a jerk, shave. Si tu cherches un brouillard, saoule-toi à White Chapel If u’re looking for a fog, get drunk in White Chapel Si tu cherches ton chemin, vois ton psychiâtre ou les poteaux indicateurs. If u’re looking for your way, see your psychiatrist or the signposts. Si tu cherches l'angoisse, vois ton banquier. If u’re looking for anxiety , see your banker. Si tu cherches l'amour, va chez les autres. If u’re looking for love, go in the others’ homes. Si tu cherches un monstre, retourne en toi-même. If u’re looking for a monster, watch yourself. Si tu cherches la gloire, écris tout mais ne lis jamais, If u’re looking for glory, write everything but never read, Si tu cherches le bonheur, lis tout mais n'écris jamais. If u’re looking for happiness, read everything and never write. Si tu cherches la paix, traverse les cimetières. If u’re looking for peace, past through the cemeteries. Si tu cherches Dieu, regarde un enfant. If u’re looking for Lord, look at a child. Mais si tu cherches la Vérité, voyageur, quitte tout et file en Irlande. But if u’re looking for the Truth, traveller, leave everything and go to Ireland. Et en Irlande, tu sauras la beauté de Kilkenny, And in Ireland, u will know the beauty of Kilkenny, Et tu trouveras la foi dans les ruines d’Adare, And u will find faith in the ruins of Adare, Et tu trouveras un marin dans un pub de Cork, And u will find a seaman in a Cork’s pub, Et tu trouveras un espoir chez les Gens de Dublin, And u will find a hope in the Dubliner's homes, Et tu trouveras la Mémoire qui saigne encore et encore dans les déchirures de Derry. And u’ll find the Memory who is bleeding more and more in the Derry’s wrenches. Sous les murs en ruines des midis du Bogside. Under the walls in ruins of the Bogside’s noons. Et tu trouveras le brouillard dans les matins du Sligo. And u will find the mist in the Sligo’s mornings. Et tu trouveras tes chemins dans les soirs mauves du Connemara à l’heure où les chevaux bleuissent. And u’ll find your ways in the Connemara’s mauve evenings at the moment on the horses turn blue. Et tu trouveras un poète, assis sur une pierre d’un cimetière de Lough ou son fantôme. And u’ll find a poet, sit on a stone of the Lough cemetery or his ghost. Et tu trouveras l’amour dans les yeux d’une fille de Wexford. And u’ll find love in the eyes of a girl of Wexford. Et tu trouveras la gloire une nuit dans le fond d’une Guinness. And u’ll find glory one night in the bottom of a Guinness. Et puis au bout, tout au bout, là où les presqu’îles touchent l’infini, tu trouveras Dieu qui te dira, si tu es sage et attentif, la Vérité, toute la Vérité, rien que la Vérité. And there, where the peninsulas touch the infinity, u’ll find Lord who will tell u, if u’re wise and attentive , the Truth, all Truth, only Truth. Va, voyageur. Car depuis hier, le ciel est vide, car Dieu est en Irlande." Go, traveller. Because since yesterday, the sky is empty, because Lord is in Ireland." Bernard Pouchèle. |

Songs of Hope |
| Written by Charlotte. (24/10-2002) |
| YCV, UVF two words : wise up Something that strikes me when I listen to Irish songs : They all deals with Hope, Courage and Remembrance. They're not songs about pain, tears and sorrows. They're not songs of hate nor bitterness. Culture is the thing that show to the world who we are. Irish songs and culture shows a people deeply rooted in their land, people who are proud, happy, welcoming, always able to laugh despite their sad History and able to always remember those who fell. The line between Future & Hope and Past & Memory had never been thiner than it is in Ireland. "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children." just a 17 years old French girl |
