UT English Literature

Are you still alive, my dear granny?
I am alive as well. Hello! Hello!
May there always be above you, honey,
The amazing stream of evening glow.

I”ve been told that hiding your disquiet,
Worrying about me a lot,
You go out to the roadside every night,
Wearing your shabby overcoat.

In the evening darkness, very often,
You conceive the same old scene of blood:
Kind of in a tavern fight some ruffian
Plunged a Finnish knife into my heart.

Now calm down, mom! And don”t be dreary!
It”s a painful fiction through and through.
I”m not so bad a drunkard, really,
As to die without seeing you.

I”m your tender son as ever, dear,
And the only thing I dream of now
Is to leave this dismal boredom here
And return to our little house. And how!

I”ll return in spring without warning
When the garden blossoms, white as snow.
Please don”t wake me early in the morning,
As you did before, eight years ago.

Don”t disturb my dreams that now have flown,
Don”t perturb my vain and futile strife
For it”s much too early that I”ve known
Heavy loss and weariness in life.

Please don”t teach me how to say my prayers!
There is no way back to what is gone.
You”re my only joy, support and praise
And my only flare shining on.

Please forget about your pain and fear,
and don”t worry over me a lot
Don”t go out to the roadside, dear,
Wearing your shabby overcoat.

By Sergey Yesenin 1924

FEDERAL WARNING OF RUSSIA !

Aleksandr Pushkin 1829

If I walk the noisy streets,
Or enter a many thronged church,
Or sit among the wild young generation,
I give way to my thoughts.

I say to myself: the years are fleeting,
And however many there seem to be,
We must all go under the eternal vault,
And someone’s hour is already at hand.

When I look at a solitary oak
I think: the patriarch of the woods.
It will outlive my forgotten age
As it outlived that of my grandfathers’.
If I caress a young child,
Immediately I think: farewell!
I will yield my place to you,
For I must fade while your flower blooms.

Each day, every hour
I habitually follow in my thoughts,
Trying to guess from their number
The year which brings my death.

And where will fate send death to me?
In battle, in my travels, or on the seas?
Or will the neighbouring valley
Receive my chilled ashes?
And although to the senseless body
It is indifferent wherever it rots,
Yet close to my beloved countryside
I still would prefer to rest.

And let it be, beside the grave’s vault
That young life forever will be playing,
And impartial, indifferent nature
Eternally be shining in beauty.

Dear friends,
My sister is studying Tourism Management and is currently working on her thesis. She’s evaluating the quality of Tourism in “Tehran”. She’s prepared a questionnaire for this purpose which should be filled in by “foreigners” who have visited “Tehran”. Now if you have any “foreign” friends who have visited “Tehran”, could you please ask them to fill in this questionnaire. If you are willing to help, please let me know (little_benny2003@yahoo.com), and I’ll mail you the questionnaire.
Regards, n.abbaspoor

I just wanted to thank you all for participation on this and making history, we are to be the history of this university, they will talk about us. be sure of that. (not for the pics  you know, for what we will be, for our minds and stuff like that, except me, I look so good, I’ll be getting calls from modeling agencies from all over the world! ok enough joking) And have this sorts of activity will visualize it!

Anyway, First Semester is over and we are soon to find ourselves in the same position taking another pic at the end of the last final of the next semester.

I’m really tired now. I had another exam at 2pm, and some work to take care of, also all the pictures are about  100 something mb, so its not possible to post all of them on the net.

hopefully tonight I’ll post a couple of the main pics, and I’ll give the rest to you on a CD so you could pass it around and take which ever you wish.

Happy end of Finals, have fun on this short break. go nuts …

Hello every one, its me again!!!

As I was thinking about the photo shoot and stuff I thought about making a documentary.
Here is the plan.

Every one of you gets to talk for X minutes about coming to school . why did you come, where do you wanna go with it, your background maybe, I don’t know … what ever that would present you as a freshman starting to study English lit.

then you forget about!

and bang!!!! its the 8th semester! and we are almost done …

then we shoot another X minutes about the past 4 years and the future you see now for yourself …

then it will all be mixed into a dvd well more that one dvd but anyways …

it will become something memorable and fun … something to show your grandchildren (see that’s me when I was your age, I was so excited about school but watch what happned after four years, my hair is white, every one else fished but I still have 2 more years to go, and look at me know, this is the living proof not to go to school !!!) or maybe ( you see him? he used to be my friend but he became a heroin addict and died a couple of years later) or even ( this is the guy who made these vids, he is sooooo cooooool )

visit me@school for more details and your ideas!!!

OK.

I think we’ve played enough!
I don’t know if the true identity of F-SH will be publicly avowed here, but I think he has learned his lesson.
And if he hasn’t, well, he will not be able to post here anymore …

There is no doubt in the fact that he’s got problems, he lied, he played with the identity of our dear professors and put some of us in doubt about them, he insulted some of us, and so on … but I think its time this place would go back to normal!

I personally feel sorry for him, and I hope that soon he is able to be a normal human being. true, and sincere.

From now on every one will have to login in order to post comments. and hopefully after the finals the forum will be ready and everything will be organized …

(this is only my opinion and you could keep insulting him/her as long as you wish! and he deserves it … but I’ve done enough for my part.)

have fun every one and good luck with the rest of the finals.

Hi

I don’t know if you’ve already done this and I wasn’t around! But I wanted to say this but I kept forgetting.

If all agree, Wednesday (7/11/88) after Dr. Farahani’s exam we will ALL (form both groups) Meet by the entrance door and take a picture. (we can decide where to take it then, still, think about it) and I think its a Very good Idea to take one after the last exam of each semester.

I hope we could arrange it in away that our professors could come and be in the pictures with!

If anyone’s got a good camera let others know so we could see who has the best one, thus we could have the best picture quality.
