На очередном занятии иудаикой читали средневековую поэзию, к сожалению в переводе.
Моше Ибн Эзра (раввин, между прочим):
Caress a lovely woman's breast by night,
And kiss some beauty's lips by morning light.
Silence those who criticize you, those
Officious talkers. Take advice from me.
With beauty's children only can we live.
Kidnapped were they from Paradise to gall
The living; living men are lovers all.
Immerse your head in pleasure and in joy,
And by the bank a bottle drink of wine.
Enjoy the swallow's chirp and viol's whine.
Laugh, dance, and stamp your feet upon the floor!
Get drunk, and knock at dawn on some girl's door.
This is the joy of life, so take your due,
You too deserve a portion of the Ram
of Consecration, like your people's chiefs,
To suck the juice of lips do not be shy
but take what's rightly yours - the breast and thigh.
Это ещё цветочки. А вот творчество Тодроса Абулафии (он правда не раввин, и на том спасибо):
There's nothing wrong in wanting a woman,
and loving girls is hardly a sin -
but whether or not they are pretty or pure,
Arabia's daughters are what you should look for.
Stay far away from the Spanish Christians,
although they're fair and bright as the sun,
for they'll provide neither comfort nor ease,
even with shawls and silken sleeves:
their dresses are always covered with mud,
as their hems are dragged through dung and crud.
Their minds are empty from heartless whoring -
when it comes to seduction, they know not a thing.
But the Arab woman's grace is her glory,
ravishing spirits, banishing worry.
And whether or not she's wearing her clothes,
she looks as though she's decked out in gold.
She'll give you pleasure when the day arrives,
for in lewdness's ways and desire she's wise,
her legs gripped tightly around your head,
crying out Lord!! - and raising the dead.
The lover who opts for the Christian feast
is just like a man who'd lie with a beast.
Не слабо, а? А вы всё средневековье-средневековье. Это у нас сейчас пуританство, за такое обвинят сразу во всех грехах. Но каковы раввины, а? Get drunk and knock at dawn on some girl's door. Затейники.
