seven corsairs
May. 12th, 2005 01:54 amI was trying to count up the Seven Mighty Corsairs (at least, that's how the French translates -- not quite sure about how the title goes from Japanese to English) in One Piece. Let me see:
Mihawk (stated in book 8 to be one of them, yet they seem surprised when he turns up at a meeting in book 25)
Crocodile (removed from his position after the events in Alabasta)
Jinbei (one of the fish-men, responsible for the influx of fish-men into East Blue, including Arlong) (book 8)
Don Quichotte (Quixote?) Doflamingo (who has a fluffy feather jacket and seems to be able to control other people's bodies)
Messire Bartholomew Kuma (who carries a Bible)
I don't think we've been told the names of the other two yet, though I'm wondering if White Beard is one of them. (I have up to book 26 so far.)
I need to start going to sleep earlier, I think.
Hm. Let's see; by Friday, all the amazon parcels I'm waiting for will either have been delivered or will have been taken back to the post office because I wasn't in to receive them. Therefore on Saturday I can go and pick up everything that needs picking up. Yes. That works.

Winter landscape, with rocks
Water in the millrace, through a sluice of stone,
plunges headlong into that black pond
where, absurd and out-of-season, a single swan
floats chaste as snow, taunting the clouded mind
which hungers to haul the white reflection down.
The austere sun descends above the fen,
an orange cyclops-eye, scorning to look
longer on this landscape of chagrin;
feathered dark in thought, I stalk like a rook,
brooding as the winter night comes on.
Last summer's reeds are all engraved in ice
as is your image in my eye; dry frost
glazes the window of my hurt; what solace
can be struck from rock to make heart's waste
grow green again? Who'd walk in this bleak place?
