And here without anger or resentment

I bid you farewell.

Sincerely wishing,

that as men and christians,

ye may always fully and uninterruptedly enjoy

every civil and religious right;

and be, in your turn,

the means of securing it to others;

but that the example which ye have unwisely set,

of mingling religion with politics,

may be disavowed and reprobated by every inhabitant of America.

Y aquí sin enojo ni resentimiento

Te digo adiós.

Sinceramente deseando,

que como hombres y cristianos,

Usted siempre puede disfrutar completa e ininterrumpidamente

cada derecho civil y religioso;

y ser, a su vez,

los medios de asegurarlo a otros;

pero ese ejemplo que ustedes han establecido imprudentemente,

de mezclar la religión con la política,

puede ser desautorizado y reprobado por cada habitante de América.

Певец

В тени дерев, над чистыми водами

Дерновый холм вы видите ль, друзья?

Чуть слышно там плескает в брег струя;

Чуть ветерок там дышит меж листами;

На ветвях лира и венец...

Увы! друзья, сей холм - могила;

Здесь прах певца земля сокрыла;

Бедный певец!

Он сердцем прост, он нежен был душою

Но в мире он минутный странник был;

Едва расцвел - и жизнь уж разлюбил

И ждал конца с волненьем и тоскою;

И рано встретил он конец,

Заснул желанным сном могилы...

Твой век был миг, но миг унылый,

Бедный певец!

Он дружбу пел, дав другу нежну руку,-

Но верный друг во цвете лет угас;

Он пел любовь - но был печален глас;

Увы! он знал любви одну лишь муку;

Теперь всему, всему конец;

Твоя душа покой вкусила;

Ты спишь; тиха твоя могила,

Бедный певец!

Здесь, у ручья, вечернею порою

Прощальну песнь он заунывно пел:

"О красный мир, где я вотще расцвел;

Прости навек; с обманутой душою

Я счастья ждал - мечтам конец;

Погибло все, умолкни, лира;

Скорей, скорей в обитель мира,

Бедный певец!

Что жизнь, когда в ней нет очарованья?

Блаженство знать, к нему лететь душой,

Но пропасть зреть меж ним и меж собой;

Желать всяк час и трепетать желанья...

О пристань горестных сердец,

Могила, верный путь к покою,

Когда же будет взят тобою

Бедный певец?"

/The Bard

My  friends, can you descry that mound of earth

Above clear waters in the shade of trees?

You can just hear the babbling spring against the bank;

You can just feel a breeze that's wafting in the leaves;

A wreath and lyre hang upon the boughs...

Alas, my friends! This mound'ss a grave;

Here earth conceals the ashes of a bard;

Poor bard!

A gentle soul, a simple heart

He was a sojourner in the world;

He'd barely bloomed, yet lost his taste for life

He craved his end with yearning and excitement;

And early on he met his end,

He found the grave's desired sleep.

Your time was but a moment - a moment sad

Poor bard!

He sang with tenderness of friendship to his friend, -

His loyal friend cut down in his life's bloom;

He sang of love - but in a doleful voice;

Alas! Of love he knew naught but its woe;

Now all has met with its demise,

Your soul partakes of peace eternal;

You slumber in your silent grave,

Poor bard!

Here, by this stream one eventide

He sang his doleful farewell song:

"O lovely world, where blossomed I in vain;

Farewell forever; with a soul deceived

For happiness I waited - but my dreams have died;

All's perished; lyre, be still;

To your serene abode, o haste,

Poor bard!

What's life, when charm is lacking?

To know of bliss, with all the spirit's striving,

Only to see oneself cut off by an abyss;

Each moment to desire and yet fear desiring...

O refuge of vexatious hearts,

O grave, sure path to peace,

When will you call to your embrace

The poor bard?"

The bard's no more ... his lyre's silent...

All trace of him has disappeared from here;

The hills and valleys mourn;

And all is still ... save zephyrs soft,

That stir the faded wreath,

And waft betimes above the grave,

A woeful lyre responds:

Poor bard!

/El cantante

A la sombra de los árboles, sobre aguas cristalinas

¿Ves la colina agria, amigos?

Un poco audible salpica en las orillas del arroyo;

Una brisa pequeña está respirando entre las sábanas;

En las ramas de la lira y la corona ...

¡Ay! amigos, este cerro es una tumba;

Aquí la tierra enterró las cenizas del cantante;

¡Pobre cantante!

Él es simple de corazón, fue gentil con su alma

Pero en el mundo era un minero vagabundo;

Apenas floreció, y la vida ya dejó de amar

Y esperó el final con emoción y anhelo;

Y se encontró temprano,

Me quedé dormido con el sueño de una tumba ...

Tu edad fue un momento, pero un momento aburrido,

¡Pobre cantante!

Cantó amistad y le dio a mi amigo una mano suave,

Pero un amigo fiel en el color de los años se desvaneció;

Él cantó amor, pero la voz era triste;

¡Ay! él sabía amar solo con harina;

Ahora todo, todo ha terminado;

Tu alma ha probado la paz;

Duermes; silencioso es tu tumba,

¡Pobre cantante!

Aquí, junto al arroyo, por la noche a veces

Adiós a la canción, cantó afligido:

"O mundo rojo, donde florecí más brillantemente;

Perdóname para siempre; con un alma engañada

Esperé la felicidad, los sueños llegan a su fin;

Todos murieron, silencio, lira;

Rápido, pronto a la morada del mundo,

¡Pobre cantante!

¿Qué es la vida cuando no hay encanto en ella?

Felicidad por saber, a él volar alma,

Pero la brecha entre él y entre él mismo;

Deseo cada hora y aprecio el deseo ...

Oh muelle de corazones lamentables,

La tumba, el camino correcto hacia la paz,

¿Cuándo será tomado por ti?

¿Pobre cantante?

Howard Martin Temin,

(December 10, 1934 – February 9, 1994)

was a U.S. geneticist and virologist.

He discovered reverse transcriptase in the 1970s

at the University of Wisconsin–Madison,

for which he shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore

A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used

to generate complementary DNA (cDNA)

from an RNA template,

a process termed reverse transcription.

It is mainly associated with retroviruses.

However, non-retroviruses also use RT

(for example, the hepatitis B virus,

a member of the Hepadnaviridae,

which are dsDNA-RT viruses,

while retroviruses are ssRNA viruses).

RT inhibitors are widely used as antiretroviral drugs.

RT activities are also associated

with the replication of chromosome ends (telomerase)

and some mobile genetic elements (retrotransposons).

Jazeh Tabatabai

Jazeh Tabatabai

(Persian: ژازه تباتبايي‎‎)

(1931 – February 9, 2008)

was an Iranian avant-garde painter, poet, and sculptor.

Tabatabai received over 10 major international awards

for his paintings and sculptures.

He was the founder and director

of the Iran Modern Art Gallery in Tehran, Iran.

Tabatabai's present fame is mostly due to

his creative figures and metal sculptures

which he assembled with parts from old machinery and cars.

His style is close to the Saghaneh School;

milk-women and suns are repeating themes in his work.

For this reason,

he is cited alongside a handful of other influential Iranian artists

as a pioneer of the Saghaneh School,

which took form in the 80s.
