Oggi la pagina facebook su Aulonia (questo il link) ha raggiunto il blog (nel senso che ho scritto tutto quello che c'era sul suo blog omonimo) e quindi partirà la seconda parte, ma intanto dedico questo post ai ragni, ragni, ragni e ancora ragni. Attenti aracnofobi, potreste star male. Comunque chissà perché il ragno è così temuto? Il ragno nero di Franz Karl Basler-Kopp Il ragno sorridente di Odilon Redon, 1881 di John Kenn Mortensen On candystripe legs the spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room! And there is nothing I can do When I realise with fright That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! Quietly he laughs and shaking his head Creeps closer now Closer to the foot of the bed And softer than shadow and quicker than flies His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" And I feel like I'm being eaten By a thousand million shivering furry holes And I know that in the morning I will wake up In the shivering cold And the spiderman is always hungry... da Souchi's beloved pet di Junji Ito Shelob di Alan Lee Okay, credo di aver fatto paura abbastanza. Ora potete ritornare a forme più dolci con La tela di Carlotta di E.B. White dal quale è stato tratto prima un film animato nel 1973 e più recentemente un film in carne e ossa. di Garth Williams How very special are we For just a moment to be Part of life’s eternal rhyme How very special are we To have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time He turns the seasons around And so she changes her gown But they always look in their prime They go on dancing their dance Of every lasting romance Mother Earth and Father Time The summer larks return to sing Oh what a gift they give Then autumn days grow short and cold Oh what a joy to live How very special are we For just a moment to be Part of life’s eternal rhyme How very special are we To have on our family tree Mother Earth and Father Time Credo conosciate la storia di Aracne. Tessitrice dell'Antica Grecia dalle doti invidiabili tanto che molti la paragonavano ad Atena e questo la dea non lo poteva sopportare. Così fu pronta la sfida e Atena tesse una splendida tela così come Aracne che raffigurò i tradimenti degli dei. La tela di Aracne era splendida che fu dichiarata vincitrice e questo Atena non poteva sopportarlo così cercò di colpire la fanciulla. Aracne, spaventata dalla furia della dea, cercò di impiccarsi e Atena, impietosita, trasformò la fanciulla in un animale che per tutta la vita avrebbe tessuto tele perfette ovvero il ragno. Le filatrici (La favola di Aracne) di Diego Velazquez Atena e Aracne di Tintoretto Pallade Atena colpisce Aracne e rompe la sua tela di Pierre Brebiette Minerva e Aracne di René Antoine, 1710 Pallade e Aracne di Pieter Paul Rubens, 1636 o 1637 Minerva colpisce Atena di Bullfinch Minerva e Aracne di Bauer Atena e Aracne di Giuseppe Caselli Aracne o La dialettica di Paolo Veronese, 1520 La trasformazione di Aracne in un ragno di W. Walker, 1775 Aracne di Susan Seddon Boulet tratto dal XII canto del Purgatorio della Divina Commedia, di Gustave Doré Altri dipinti qui Per vedere invece altre tessitrici famose eccole qua Ritorniamo ad atmosfere più delicate, in tono pastello. Alcune poi sono sottilmente insidiose. di Jessie Wilcox Smith di Sofia Chiostri Caduta delle ultime foglie d'autunno di Xavier Mellery, 1893 E immagino quanto le fate si possano divertire con la ragnatela. Compleanno della fata di William Heath Robinson, 1925 di Asako Eguchi di Arthur Rackham Filo di ragnatela di John B. Alberts, 1918 di Arthur Rackham di Sofia Chiostri La paura del ragno è quasi atavica. Una donna con la sua ragnatela può far subito pensare a una femme fatale, di quelle che ti incantano e poi ti imprigionano. Un dramma di Joseph Apoux Vedova nera Donna diabolica sulla ragnatela Ragno e mosca, 1900 Ragnatela e corsetto, 1900s La donna con la ragnatela tra gli alberi spogli di Caspar David Friedrich, 1801-'03 E proprio per il suo simbolismo, molte dive del cinema ne hanno fatto ricorso Gloria Swanson, 1950 circa Maria Montez, 1943 Maila Nurmi (a.k.a. Vampira) Comunque il tema della ragnatela, come potete vedere, è stato ampiamente usato in quei tempi anche da non dive. Nudo con ragnatela, Studio Manassé, 1930 n.p. di Anne-marie Heinrich dalla serie Tarabis Il ragno, 1939 n.p. copertina Paris Plaisir di Man Ray di Rosemarie Trockel Un ragno nella sua ragnatela, 1491 Kitan Club di Louise Bourgeoise Up until one century ago there lived In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country A glass-like spider Having devoured its prey It would drape the skeletons over its web In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains Its web was also unique, in that it had many layers Like floors in a building At the top of this palace-like place Assembled with almost apparent care Were tiny, shining objects Glass, beads, dewdrops One could almost call it an altar When the breeze blew through this construction It produced sounds of wailing, crying Tiny wails, tiny cries The baby spiders would get scared And search frantically for their mother But the glass spider would have long gone Having known that the babies Would survive somehow on their own Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a human's They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries Don't you hear this wasted cry, life is over you (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) But you've seen who's in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell? (Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now) Take care, take care (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye God it's dark now Gone, Gone the water's all gone (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Stay low on the ground The fire can drive you savage and afraid Spitting at the dawn, come along before the animals awake (Gone, gone, the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now) Run, run, moving all night, rivers to the left If your mama don't love you then riverbed might Gone, gone, the water's all gone (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Gone, gone, the water's all gone (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Gone, gone, the water's all gone (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Gone, gone, the water's all gone (Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone) Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now Aracne, albo n° 110 copertina Little Folks Brendon, albo n° 11 Non bisogna dimenticare della Donna Ragno (e non sto parlando di un personaggio Marvel) identificata anche come uno degli aspetti della Grande Madre. Molti nomi ha: Biliku, Pachamama ecc... e ha una grande cultura nello Sciamanesimo di Olesya Mykhailova (guarda qui) La ragnatela rappresenta l'ordine nell'Universo e può essere collegata alla mente, al suo essere intrica. Se si estende la ragnatela, si può raggiungere l'infinito. Dora Maar ne Les années vous guettent (Gli anni vi aspettano) di Nusch Eluard, 1932 Donna ragno sciamana di Susan Seddon Boulet In bocca al lupo Aulonia. Che tu possa vivere bene anche sulla Terra. Immagino senz'altro che tu sarai sempre sospesa quasi sul filo della ragnatela, sempre in biliku. P.S.: Nella ricerca ho trovato un blog che tradotto s'intitola I fili della Donna Ragno. Eccolo qui . Intanto qui vi ricordo ancora una pagina wikipedia utile Aggiornamento 18 marzo 2015: qui altre informazioni sul ragno
