Odessa can be considered like the most Mediterranean of the cities of Europe of the East. |
One is hit by the contrast between the toughness of the street and the heat of the welcome at people. The use is to remove the shoes while entering. Pairs of slippers, supernumerary, are always at service. Then, all is made so that the guest feels as at home... One will never welcome you without offering you coffee or tea Russian, tchaï, very strong, concentrated in small teapot and dilute in the water of the samovar. Won't one let you retort the empty stomach ever... would Touch one of the finger the famous Slavic soul ? The hospitality, is not in any case a vain word. |
Vous pensez que c'est un délire de malaria ?
C'est arrivé,
vraiment à odessa,
"je viendrais à quatre heures" avait dit Marie,
Huit heures.
Neuf heures,
Dix heures
et voici que le soir,
morose,
décembreux
a quitté les fenêtre
pour plonger dans l'angoisse de la nuit.
Dans mon dos décrépi, ricanent et hennissent
les candélabres...
Les portes ont tout à coup cogné
comme si l'hôtel
claquait des dents.
Tu es entrée,
coupante comme un "tenez" !
et tourmentant le chamois de tes gants
tu as dit :
"Vous savez
je me marie".

Tres biene pages Claude! I found my wife through one of the introduction agencies that serve Odessa. They are not all scams, but one must be careful, they will try to take advantage of you! |
