Gammer Gurton’s Garland, published in 1784, is one of the earliest collections of English nursery rhymes, and contains verses both familiar and alarmingly unsettling. Intended to be read to toddlers (i.e., “children who can neither read nor run,” according to its subtitle) and named after a fictitious Grandma (“Gammer”) Gurton, who'd be analogous to Mother Goose, the volume were assembled by the eccentric scholar Joseph Ritson, who was known for his collecting of Robin Hood ballads, vegetarianism and ultimate descent into madness. Portrait of Joseph Ritson by James Sayers, early 1800s. We begin our episode with a snippet of a 1940s' rendition of “Froggy Went a-Courting” by cowboy singer Tex Ritter. It's a relatively modern take on Ritson's “The Frog and the Mouse.” But like quite a few rhymes in the collection, this one had appeared in print earlier. Already in 1611, British composer of rounds and collector of ballads, Thomas Ravenscroft, had written out both lyrics and musical notation for “The Marriage of the Frogge and the Mouse,” a song he described as a folk song or “country pastime.” While a few other rhymes in Ritson's collection were borrowed from one of two earlier editions of nursery verses (both published as Tommy Thumb’s Song Book 40 years earlier), most of what he collected appeared for tge first time in Gammer Gurton’s. We hear a bit about some of the familiar rhymes that premiered in this collection, including Goosey, Goosey Gander, Ride a Cock-Horse to Banbury Cross (with the “rings on her fingers and bells on her toes” lady), Bye, Baby Bunting, and There Was an Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe.” Ritson's version of the last, however, takes a rather rude and unexpected turn. 1865 edition of Gammer Gurton’s Many, if not most, of Ritson's rhymes seem to have been weeded out of the gentile or sentimental collections we know today. Naturally, we devote attention particularly to these objectionable verses. Included are a handful of aggressively nonsensical rhymes, which could pass for 18th-century Dada and verses notable for their cruelty. The most alarming contain brutal slurs, threats, and playful references to assault, adultery, matricide, suicide, and animals going to the gallows. The last third of our episode is dedicated to poems noteworthy for their survival as musical ballads. The first discussed is the basis for song “Lady Alice,” which later appears in James Child's 1860 collection The English and Scottish Popular Ballads. Ritson's version, “Giles Collins and Proud Lady Anna,” is a greatly simplified version of the ballad later cited by Child. While toddlers might appreciate the simpler storytelling, the subject matter — namely, doomed lovers — is not the normal stuff of healthy nursery rhymes. More surprising, is the fact that Ritson's story begins with Giles Collins in the process of dying and Lady Anna dead (of heartbreak) within a few verses. After their deaths, a tentative suggestion of undying love, a lily reaching from Giles' grave toward Anna's, is destroyed – an unhappy turn on the not uncommon motif of a rose and briar entwining over lovers' graves. We close with a discussion of “The Gay Lady who Went to Church,” an innocuous-sounding rhyme, intertwined with the history of two rather gruesome folk songs popular around Halloween: “There Was an Old Lady All Skin and Bones” and “The Hearse Song” AKA “The Worms Crawl In.” Also discussed is a surprising link between Ritson's nursery rhyme and a faux-historical ballad invented for the very first Gothic novel, Matthew Gregory Lewis' The Monk.

Transcript:Da: Snefnug dalede stille ned over Communal Village og dækkede landsbyen med et hvidt tæppe.En: Snefnug fell quietly over Communal Village, covering the village with a white blanket.Da: Skæret fra gadelygterne reflekterede i den nyfaldne sne, og luften var fyldt med den stille ro, som kun en snestorm kan bringe.En: The glow from the street lamps reflected in the newly fallen snow, and the air was filled with the quiet calm that only a snowstorm can bring.Da: Caféen i byens midte var som en varm lomme af lys og hygge i det ellers kolde landskab.En: The café in the middle of town was like a warm pocket of light and coziness in the otherwise cold landscape.Da: Anders sad ved sit sædvanlige bord, nær et stort vindue nu dækket af frostblomster.En: Anders sat at his usual table near a large window now covered with frost flowers.Da: Bordet var tilgroet med noter, der i hast var blevet nedkradset på papirer.En: The table was strewn with notes hastily scribbled on papers.Da: Han var en mand af få ord, en tålmodig skribent, der fandt inspiration i det rolige rum.En: He was a man of few words, a patient writer who found inspiration in the tranquil room.Da: Han værdsatte ensomheden caféen tilbød, især nu hvor snestormen havde skræmt de fleste besøgende væk.En: He appreciated the solitude the café offered, especially now when the snowstorm had scared most visitors away.Da: Freja, caféens glade barista, kiggede over den næsten tomme café.En: Freja, the café's cheerful barista, looked over the nearly empty café.Da: Hendes grønne forklæde matchede hendes livlige øjne.En: Her green apron matched her lively eyes.Da: Hun kendte Anders som en stille mand, altid fordybet i sit arbejde.En: She knew Anders as a quiet man, always engrossed in his work.Da: Alligevel kunne hun ikke lade være med at føle, at der var mere bag hans reserverede facade.En: Yet she couldn't help but feel there was more behind his reserved facade.Da: "En lille pause skader aldrig," tænkte Freja og gik hen til Anders med et smil og en friskbagt kanelsnegl.En: "A little break never hurts," thought Freja, and she walked over to Anders with a smile and a freshly baked cinnamon roll.Da: "Vil du have en?"En: "Would you like one?"Da: spurgte hun med velkendt varme i stemmen.En: she asked with familiar warmth in her voice.Da: Anders så op, lidt overrasket.En: Anders looked up, a bit surprised.Da: Han tøvede et øjeblik, før han nikkede taknemmeligt.En: He hesitated for a moment before nodding gratefully.Da: "Jo, tak," sagde han, og Freja satte sig overfor ham.En: "Yes, please," he said, and Freja sat down across from him.Da: Samtalen begyndte forsigtigt.En: The conversation began cautiously.Da: Freja spurgte om hans bøger, og Anders svarede kort, men høfligt.En: Freja asked about his books, and Anders replied briefly but politely.Da: Han ønskede egentlig kun at vende tilbage til sine noter, men der var noget ved Frejas begejstring, som gjorde ham nysgerrig.En: He really just wanted to return to his notes, but there was something about Freja's enthusiasm that made him curious.Da: Pludselig blev caféen kastet ud i mørke, kun sneens glimt udenfor gav en smule lys.En: Suddenly, the café was plunged into darkness, with only the glitter of the snow outside giving a bit of light.Da: "Åh, strømmen er gået," lo Freja og begyndte at finde lysene frem.En: "Oh, the power's out," laughed Freja, and she began to fetch the candles.Da: Anders rejste sig for at hjælpe, og snart var caféen fyldt med stearinlysets bløde skær.En: Anders stood up to help, and soon the café was filled with the soft glow of candlelight.Da: De satte sig igen, nu i dette intime lys.En: They sat again, now in this intimate light.Da: Freja fortalte om sine drømme om at eje sin egen café en dag, og Anders delte modvilligt nogle af sine historier om de personer, hans bøger handlede om.En: Freja shared her dream of owning her own café someday, and Anders, reluctantly at first, shared some of his stories about the characters in his books.Da: Han indså, at samtalen åbnede et nyt perspektiv, både for ham som person og som forfatter.En: He realized that the conversation opened a new perspective, both for him as a person and as a writer.Da: Timerne fløj forbi, og da uret nærmede sig lukketid, var de blevet venner.En: Hours flew by, and as the clock approached closing time, they had become friends.Da: "Skal jeg hjælpe med at rydde op?"En: "Should I help with the cleanup?"Da: spurgte Anders, overrasket over sig selv.En: asked Anders, surprised at himself.Da: "Meget gerne," svarede Freja med et smil, og sammen gik de i gang med at sætte caféen i stand, hver handling en lille gestus af fornyet bekendtskab.En: "Gladly," replied Freja with a smile, and together they began to tidy up the café, each action a small gesture of renewed acquaintance.Da: Da natten faldt på, og sneen endnu lagde sig tungt over landsbyen, gik Anders hjemad med en ny følelse.En: As night fell and the snow continued to lay heavily over the village, Anders went home with a new feeling.Da: Måske, tænkte han, kunne det at åbne sig for andre bringe ny liv i hans ord.En: Perhaps, he thought, opening up to others could breathe new life into his words.Da: En simpel gestus, et enkelt møde, havde åbnet hans øjne for en ny verden af muligheder.En: A simple gesture, a single meeting, had opened his eyes to a new world of possibilities.

But maybe it's an opportunity, Jesper," she said encouragingly.Da: Jesper trak vejret dybt.En: Jesper took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg må finde på noget," tænkte han højt.En: "I need to come up with something," he thought aloud.Da: Men det var vinter.En: But it was winter.Da: Og koldt.En: And cold.Da: Sandet var stift.En: The sand was stiff.Da: Lars, en erfaren sandborg-by mester, bemærkede den forvirrede Jesper og gik hen til ham.En: Lars, an experienced sandcastle master, noticed the confused Jesper and approached him.Da: "Jeg ser, du har brug for hjælp," sagde Lars venligt.En: "I see you need help," said Lars kindly.Da: Jesper forklarede sin fejl, og Lars lo hjerteligt.En: Jesper explained his mistake, and Lars laughed heartily.Da: "Lad os se, hvad vi kan gøre sammen," foreslog Lars.En: "Let's see what we can do together," suggested Lars.Da: Bevæbnet med simple spader og en spand, gik Jesper og Maja i gang.En: Armed with simple shovels and a bucket, Jesper and Maja got started.Da: Jesper manglede erfaring med sand, men hans kunstneriske sans kom til live.En: Jesper lacked experience with sand, but his artistic sense came alive.Da: "Hvordan får man sand til at stå," spurgte han.En: "How do you get sand to stand?" he asked.Da: Lars svarede: "Fugt er nøglen, men pas på, det fryser let."En: Lars replied, "Moisture is the key, but be careful, it freezes easily."Da: Timerne gik, og Jesper byggede ivrigt.En: Hours passed, and Jesper built eagerly.Da: Til tider lignede hans borg mere en bunke sne end et mesterværk.En: At times, his castle looked more like a pile of snow than a masterpiece.Da: Maja heppede fra sidelinjen, og Lars gav små tips.En: Maja cheered from the sidelines, and Lars offered small tips.Da: Men som solen begyndte at gå ned, skete katastrofen.En: But as the sun began to set, disaster struck.Da: Koldvinden blæste, og Jespers struktur kollapsede.En: The cold wind blew, and Jesper's structure collapsed.Da: Sandet var blevet til is og bøjet forkert.En: The sand had turned to ice and bent incorrectly.Da: Skuffelsen var stor.En: The disappointment was great.Da: "Hvad nu?" spurgte Maja forsigtigt.En: "What now?" Maja asked cautiously.Da: Men Jesper så på ruinen og fik en idé.En: But Jesper looked at the ruin and got an idea.Da: Med kreativitet og desperation formede han de faldne sandstykker til skulpturer.En: With creativity and desperation, he shaped the fallen sand pieces into sculptures.Da: Det blev til en abstrakt, men smuk formation, der sprang frem i det grånende lys.En: It became an abstract but beautiful formation that emerged in the gray light.Da: Da konkurrencen sluttede, havde juryen noteret Jespers anstrengelser.En: When the competition ended, the jury noted Jesper's efforts.Da: Lars, med respekt, nikkede til Jesper.En: Lars, with respect, nodded to Jesper.Da: "Du har fundet skønhed i kaos," sagde han.En: "You've found beauty in chaos," he said.Da: Jesper smilte stolt.En: Jesper smiled proudly.Da: Han havde lært, at kreativitet kunne blomstre, selv når alt gik galt.En: He had learned that creativity could bloom even when everything went wrong.Da: Dagen endte med en varm følelse, trods vinterkulden.En: The day ended with a warm feeling, despite the winter cold.Da: Jesper vandt ingen præmie, men han vandt respekt og en værdifuld lektion.En: Jesper didn't win a prize, but he won respect and a valuable lesson.Da: Opportunisme og fleksibilitet var lige så vigtige som kunstnerisk talent, havde han lært.En: Opportunism and flexibility were just as important as artistic talent, he had learned.Da: Da sneen begyndte at falde igen, sluttede Jesper armene om Maja i en taknemmelig kram.En: As the snow began to fall again, Jesper wrapped his arms around Maja in a grateful hug.Da: "Det var en god dag," sagde han.En: "It was a good day," he said.Da: Nyhavn-skulpturerne bag dem stod som minder om en uventet oplevelse.En: The Nyhavn sculptures behind them stood as reminders of an unexpected experience.Da: Jesper gik tilbage over brostenene med et nyt syn på det at være kunstner.En: Jesper walked back over the cobblestones with a new perspective on being an artist.

he could feel their doubt.Da: Men det gav ham kun mere vilje til at fortsætte.En: But it only gave him more determination to continue.Da: Hans mentors ord om udholdenhed og troen på det utænkelige lød i hans ører.En: His mentor's words about perseverance and belief in the unthinkable echoed in his ears.Da: Regnskoven var tæt og vanskelig at navigere, men Jakob nægtede at give op.En: The rainforest was dense and difficult to navigate, but Jakob refused to give up.Da: De gik dybere ind i skoven.En: They went deeper into the forest.Da: Stierne blev mere udfordrende, og Jakob spekulerede over, om de nogensinde ville nå målet.En: The paths became more challenging, and Jakob wondered if they would ever reach the goal.Da: Men så, pludselig, ved kanten af en skrænt, så han det – en usædvanlig plante med livlige, lilla blomster og brede blade.En: But then, suddenly, at the edge of a cliff, he saw it – an unusual plant with vibrant purple flowers and broad leaves.Da: Hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: His heart skipped a beat.Da: Problemet var nu, at planten var vanskelig at nå.En: The problem now was that the plant was difficult to reach.Da: Den voksede farligt tæt på en dyb afgrund.En: It grew perilously close to a deep precipice.Da: Jakob vidste, han måtte være forsigtig.En: Jakob knew he had to be careful.Da: Han trådte et skridt tilbage og tænkte.En: He took a step back and thought.Da: "Vi skal få fat i den uden at risikere noget," sagde Jakob beslutsomt.En: "We have to get it without risking anything," Jakob said determinedly.Da: Freja havde en idé.En: Freja had an idea.Da: Hun foreslog, at de kunne bruge rebet i deres udstyr, sammen med abe-vævede og stærke lianer, til at danne en sikker måde at nå blomsten.En: She suggested that they could use the rope in their equipment, along with monkey-woven and strong vines, to create a safe way to reach the flower.Da: Sammen, i harmoni og med stor forsigtighed, lykkedes det dem at dokumentere planten.En: Together, in harmony and with great caution, they succeeded in documenting the plant.Da: Jakob skænkede Freja et taknemmeligt smil.En: Jakob gave Freja a grateful smile.Da: "Jeg kunne ikke have gjort det uden jer," sagde han med en ny erkendelse af kraften i samarbejde.En: "I couldn't have done it without you," he said with a new realization of the power of collaboration.Da: Da de forlod stedet, følte Jakob sig lettere.En: As they left the site, Jakob felt lighter.Da: Skoven brusede af liv som en ven, man lige har lært at kende bedre.En: The forest thrummed with life like a friend you have just gotten to know better.Da: Jakob følte en fornyet tillid.En: Jakob felt a renewed confidence.Da: Sammen med Freja og Mikkel gik han ud af skoven, ikke bare som enkeltperson, men som en del af et team, der havde overvundet tvivl og vist, hvad tro kan opnå.En: Along with Freja and Mikkel, he walked out of the forest, not just as an individual, but as part of a team that had overcome doubt and demonstrated what belief can achieve.Da: Det videnskabelige samfund ventede, men denne gang gjorde han det med en ny styrke og respekt for dem omkring ham.En: The scientific community awaited, but this time he faced it with a new strength and respect for those around him.

Lad os finde noget mere spændende!" svarede hun muntert.En: "I'll stand guard. Let's find something more exciting!" she answered cheerfully.Da: De to bar langsiden af gruppen, mens læreren var optaget af at forklare nærmere detaljer om Christian IV.En: The two lingered at the side of the group, while the teacher was busy expounding more details about Christian IV.Da: I en af de langstrakte korridorer pegede Freja afstresset mod en smal dør gemt bag en stor, tung gobelin.En: In one of the elongated corridors, Freja pointed excitedly at a narrow door hidden behind a large, heavy tapestry.Da: "Dér! Lad os se, hvor den fører hen," sagde hun.En: "There! Let's see where that leads," she said.Da: Soren tøvede kort, men nysgerrigheden overmandede ham.En: Soren hesitated briefly, but curiosity got the better of him.Da: Døren knirkede lidt, da de skubbede den op og gik igennem.En: The door creaked a bit as they pushed it open and went through.Da: Pasagen bag døren var mørk og trang, men åbnede sig snart op til et rum, der ikke var en del af turen.En: The passage behind the door was dark and cramped, but soon opened up into a room that wasn't part of the tour.Da: Rummet var fyldt med gamle genstande - rustninger, gamle kort og fine porcelænsvaser.En: The room was filled with old artifacts – armor, ancient maps, and fine porcelain vases.Da: Alt var dækket af et tyndt lag støv.En: Everything was covered in a thin layer of dust.Da: Soren tog straks sin skitseblok frem og følte en bølge af inspiration.En: Soren immediately took out his sketchpad and felt a wave of inspiration.Da: Freja gik rundt, betaget af rummets mystik.En: Freja wandered around, entranced by the room's mystique.Da: "Det her er fantastisk, Soren, se alle disse historier gemt væk," sagde hun blidt.En: "This is amazing, Soren, look at all these stories hidden away," she said softly.Da: Soren nikkede og begyndte at tegne.En: Soren nodded and began to draw.Da: Hans blyant gled over papiret i hurtige, sikre strøg.En: His pencil moved across the paper in quick, assured strokes.Da: Deres tid var begrænset, men det, de fandt, var uvurderligt.En: Their time was limited, but what they found was invaluable.Da: Da de sluttede sig til gruppen igen, var ingen klar over deres lille eventyr.En: When they rejoined the group, no one was aware of their little adventure.Da: Soren gemte sin skitse i sin taske, men et nyt lys glimtede i hans øjne.En: Soren tucked his sketch away in his bag, but a new light sparkled in his eyes.Da: Han havde fundet mere end bare en skitse - han havde fundet modet til at udforske.En: He had found more than just a sketch – he had found the courage to explore.Da: Freja, der nu satte pris på både eventyr og stilhed, smilede til ham.En: Freja, now appreciating both adventure and silence, smiled at him.Da: "Vi klarede det," hviskede hun og gav ham et skulderklap.En: "We did it," she whispered, giving him a pat on the shoulder.Da: Soren lo for første gang med lyd.En: Soren laughed for the first time out loud.Da: Den slags latter der var fyldt med nye muligheder.En: The kind of laughter filled with new possibilities.Da: Slottets store, dekorerede haller stod som tavse vidner til dagens oplevelser, og sneen udenfor dækkede stille deres spor.En: The castle's great, decorated halls stood as silent witnesses to the day's experiences, and the snow outside quietly covered their tracks.Da: Men minderne? De var uudslettelige.En: But the memories? They were indelible.

Freja, and Mikkel.Da: De tre venner vandrede gennem den ødelagte by og søgte efter medicin til Lars' syge søster.En: The three friends wandered through the ruined city searching for medicine for Lars' sick sister.Da: Alt var forandret, efter verden faldt sammen.En: Everything had changed after the world collapsed.Da: Bygningerne var ruiner, og alle måtte arbejde hårdt for at overleve.En: The buildings were ruins, and everyone had to work hard to survive.Da: Lars havde hørt om sjældne mediciner, der kunne hjælpe hans søster.En: Lars had heard about rare medicines that could help his sister.Da: Men medicinen var i en isoleret zone.En: But the medicine was in an isolated zone.Da: En zone kendt for farlige fraktioner, der beskyttede deres territorier med voldsomt forsvar.En: A zone known for dangerous factions that defended their territories with fierce defense.Da: Lars vidste, at han ikke kunne klare det alene, så han havde brug for Frejas og Mikkels hjælp.En: Lars knew he couldn't do it alone, so he needed Freja's and Mikkel's help.Da: Freja var smart og kendte alle de skjulte ruter, hvor man kunne handle sikkert.En: Freja was smart and knew all the hidden routes where one could trade safely.Da: Hendes forhandlingsevner havde mange gange reddet dem.En: Her negotiation skills had saved them many times.Da: Mikkel, som var ingeniør, kunne reparere næsten alt, hvilket ofte kom de tre venner til gode.En: Mikkel, who was an engineer, could fix almost anything, which often benefited the three friends.Da: Da de nåede tæt på zonen, stod Lars overfor en alvorlig beslutning.En: As they approached the zone, Lars faced a serious decision.Da: Skulle han forsøge at tale med fraktionens leder?En: Should he attempt to talk to the faction's leader?Da: Eller skulle han snige sig ind?En: Or should he sneak in?Da: Freja mente, at forhandling kunne være farligt, men muligvis nødvendigt, mens Mikkel foreslog en anden tilgang.En: Freja thought negotiation could be dangerous, but possibly necessary, while Mikkel suggested another approach.Da: "Vi kan bruge gamle tunnelbaner," sagde Mikkel og pegede på et kort over området.En: "We can use old subway tunnels," said Mikkel, pointing to a map of the area.Da: "Det er risikabelt, men vi kan undgå mange vagter."En: "It's risky, but we can avoid many guards."Da: De besluttede sig til sidst for en kombination.En: They finally decided on a combination.Da: Freja gik for at forhandle, mens Mikkel og Lars brugte tunnelbanerne.En: Freja went to negotiate, while Mikkel and Lars used the subway tunnels.Da: Under jorden var det mørkt og koldt, men de to bevægede sig hurtigt gennem de smalle passager.En: Underground it was dark and cold, but the two moved quickly through the narrow passages.Da: Ovenfor mødte Freja lederen af fraktionen.En: Above, Freja met the faction's leader.Da: Det var en stor, skræmmende mand, som krævede en umulig handel: alle deres mad og ressourcer for lidt medicin.En: He was a large, intimidating man who demanded an impossible deal: all their food and resources for a little medicine.Da: Freja forblev rolig, men vidste, at hun måtte finde en anden løsning.En: Freja remained calm, but knew she had to find another solution.Da: Da Lars og Mikkel kom tættere på medicindepotet, fandt de en skjult gang fyldt med gamle forsyninger.En: As Lars and Mikkel came closer to the medicine depot, they found a hidden passage filled with old supplies.Da: Nogle af dem var medicinen, de havde brug for.En: Some of them were the medicines they needed.Da: Med hurtige hænder fyldte de deres tasker.En: With quick hands, they filled their bags.Da: Samtidig forstod Freja, at hun måtte trække ud forhandlingerne.En: Meanwhile, Freja understood that she needed to prolong the negotiations.Da: Hun lavede en distraktion, og de tre venner løb mod tunnelsystemet med deres fund.En: She created a distraction, and the three friends ran towards the tunnel system with their findings.Da: Da de kom ud på den anden side, vidste Lars, at de havde gjort det.En: When they emerged on the other side, Lars knew they had done it.Da: De havde fundet medicinen, og endda lidt mere.En: They had found the medicine, and even a bit more.Da: På deres vej mod sikkerhed delte vennerne triumfen, og Lars indså noget vigtigt.En: On their way to safety, the friends shared their triumph, and Lars realized something important.Da: At overleve handler ikke kun om en, men om at stole på hinanden og bygge et fællesskab.En: Survival is not just about one person, but about trusting each other and building a community.Da: Deres sammentømrede bånd havde reddet både hans søster og deres egen håb for fremtiden.En: Their strong bond had saved both his sister and their own hopes for the future.Da: De gik videre gennem sneen, med lysere fremtidsudsigter i sindet.En: They moved on through the snow with brighter prospects in mind.

home.Da: Hans håndværk havde føltes så fjernt på det seneste.En: His craft had felt so distant lately.Da: Ved markedet mødte han Astrid og Johan.En: At the market, he met Astrid and Johan.Da: De to

hånd, og turister der tog billeder af de skæve huse.En: He saw children with balloons, old couples holding hands, and tourists taking pictures of the crooked houses.Da: Alligevel følte han presset fra

But then something happened.Da: To fremmede, en mand og en kvinde, tog hinanden i hånden.En: Two strangers, a man and a woman, took each other's hands.Da: Deres ansigter lyste op i gensidig forståelse og glæde.En: Their faces lit up in mutual understanding and joy.Da: Som raketterne eksploderede på himlen, delte de et kort, men intenst øjeblik.En: As the fireworks exploded in the sky, they shared a brief but intense moment.Da: Det var som om deres glæde strømmede over til ham, farvede verden i nye nuancer.En: It was as if their joy flowed over to him, coloring the world in new shades.Da: Nikolajs hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Nikolaj's heart skipped a beat.Da: Denne lille gestus, denne enkle forbindelse.En: This little gesture, this simple connection.Da: Det var det, han havde manglet.En: It was what he had been missing.Da: En ny indfaldsvinkel til hans kunst.En: A new perspective for his art.Da: Han skriblede ivrigt i sin notesbog, nyt liv i pennen.En: He scribbled eagerly in his notebook, new life in the pen.Da: Da natten svandt ind, fandt han sig selv på vej hjem.En: As the night waned, he found himself on his way home.Da: Hans skridt var lette, og hans sind strømmede over med idéer.En: His steps were light, and his mind overflowed with ideas.Da: Verden virkede nu fyldt med små mirakler, hverdagens poesi.En: The world now seemed filled with small miracles, the poetry of everyday life.Da: Velhjemme tændte han lyset i sin lille atelier.En: Back home, he turned on the light in his small studio.Da: Han satte sig for lærredet, med pensler og farver.En: He sat down at the canvas, with brushes and colors.Da: Det var som om, hans sjæl endelig kunne ånde igen.En: It was as if his soul could finally breathe again.Da: Kunstværket begyndte at tage form.En: The artwork began to take shape.Da: Farverne blandedes, følelserne blev bagt ind i hver penselstrøg.En: The colors blended, emotions baked into each brushstroke.Da: Og således, i de stille timer af natten, fandt Nikolaj igen forbindelsen til sin passion.En: And thus, in the quiet hours of the night, Nikolaj found the connection to his passion once more.Da: Det var ikke kun de store øjeblikke der inspirerede, men de små skud af skønhed der sprængte hverdagen i flere nuancer.En: It wasn't just the grand moments that inspired but the small bursts of beauty that blew everyday life into more hues.Da: Kærligheden til kunsten var tilbage, og med den, hans egen glæde.En: The love for art was back, and with it, his own joy.

São tantos os jeitos de fazer. Qualquer coisa, mas na ocasião deste podcast nos referimos à filosofia. Embora essa opinião incomode boa parte dos reverentes estudiosos do cânone, o fato é que a filosofia se manifesta de diversas formas: vai do colóquio de especialistas à conversa pelo whatsapp, passando pela mesa de bar. Dada a diversidade, é preciso pensar sobre os modos de fazer filosofia. Recusamos a carreira acadêmica alguns anos atrás, e estamos aqui para contar como foi esse processo, e também para pensar o que temos feito.ParticipantesRafael LauroRafael TrindadeLinksTexto lidoOutros LinksFicha TécnicaCapa: Felipe FrancoEdição: Pedro JanczurAss.

bathed in a soft glow of sparkling lights.Da: Kulden var skarp, men de mange farvestrålende lamper og dekorationer skabte en varm atmosfære midt i vinterkulden.En: The cold was sharp, but the many colorful lamps and decorations created a warm atmosphere in the midst of the winter chill.Da: Folk travede rundt med huer og handsker, fnisende, mens de nød de sidste rester af juletidens pynt.En: People strolled around with hats and gloves, giggling while enjoying the last remnants of Christmas decorations.Da: Klara stoppede ved indgangen og trak vejret dybt.En: Klara stopped by the entrance and took a deep breath.Da: Hun skimtede den store gyngende karrusel, hvor melodien sneg sig ind blandt menneskerne.En: She glimpsed the large swinging carousel, where the melody snuck in among the people.Da: Der stod Jens, med sit genkendelige smil, lige ved den gamle træport.En: There stood Jens, with his recognizable smile, right by the old wooden gate.Da: Han var lidt ældre, lidt mere moden,

enthusiastically about his fiancée and their future plans.Da: Klara lyttede, men hendes tanker sværmede om den beslutning, der tyngede hende.En: Klara listened, but her thoughts hovered around the decision weighing on her.Da: Da de nåede den lille sø, hvor lyset spejlede sig i det stille vand, standsede hun.En: When they reached the small lake, where the light mirrored in the still water, she stopped.Da: "Jens, jeg har fået et jobtilbud i udlandet," sagde hun stille.En: "Jens, I've received a job offer abroad," she said quietly.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, om jeg skal tage det."En: "I don't know if I should take it."Da: Jens vendte sig og kiggede på hende.En: Jens turned and looked at her.Da: "Det er en stor chance, Klara.En: "That's a big opportunity, Klara.Da: Hvorfor tvivler du?"En: Why are

family...Da: Jeg er bange for at tage skrittet."En: I'm afraid to take the step."Da: Jens lo blidt og lagde en hånd på hendes arm.En: Jens laughed gently and placed a hand on her arm.Da: "Klara, husker du da vi var børn?En: "Klara, do you remember when we were kids?Da: Du var altid den modige.En: You were always the brave one.Da: Du ville altid opdage nye ting, selv når jeg var bange.En: You always wanted to discover new things, even when I was scared.Da: Hvorfor skulle du stoppe nu?"En: Why should you stop now?"Da: Klara så op på de funklende lys, der svømmede i vandets overflade.En: Klara looked up at the twinkling lights swimming on the surface of the water.Da: "Men det er anderledes nu."En: "But it's different now."Da: "Ikke så meget," svarede Jens.En: "Not so much," replied

uanset hvor du er."En: You will do amazingly, no matter where you are."Da: Hans ord ramte noget i hende.En: His words struck something in her.Da: Midt i vinterens kolde skær følte hun pludselig varmen fra hans tro på hende.En: Amidst the cold winter glow, she suddenly felt the warmth of his faith in her.Da: Hun indåndede den iskolde luft og mærkede beslutningen bundfælde sig.En: She breathed in the icy air and felt the decision settle.Da: "Du har ret," sagde hun og smilte.En: "You're right," she said, smiling.Da: "Jeg tager jobbet."En: "I'll take the job."Da: Jens jublede, omfavnede hende igen og sagde: "Det vidste jeg, at du ville.En: Jens cheered, embraced her again, and said, "I knew you would.Da: Jeg er så stolt af dig!"En: I'm so proud of you!"Da: Når de gik videre gennem Tivoli, nød Klara lydene og synene omkring dem, men denne gang med en ny ro.En: As they walked further through Tivoli, Klara enjoyed the sounds and sights around them, but this time with a new calm.Da: For mens hun måske rejste fra Danmark, vidste hun nu, at hun ville tage en del af det med sig – venligheden, minderne og venskabet med Jens, som ville vare ved, uanset hvor vejen førte hende.En: For while she

despite his fear.Da: På vej tilbage gennem Tivoli Gardens følte Mikkel sig ændret.En: On the way back through Tivoli Gardens, Mikkel felt changed.Da: Han forstod nu vigtigheden af at have venner som

overcome his fear.Da: Sneen dryssede stadig over haverne, men inden i Mikkel skinnede en ny selvtillid.En: The snow still dusted over the gardens, but inside Mikkel, a new confidence shone.Da: Da de forlod haven, så de alle op mod den stille nattehimmel.En: As they left the garden, they all looked up at the quiet night sky.Da: Det var en oplevelse, de aldrig ville glemme.En: It was an experience

calm, covered with a thin layer of frost.Da: Mikkel gik langs stierne og så på de sneklædte træer.En: Mikkel walked along the paths and looked at the snow-covered trees.Da: Han trak vejret dybt, lugtede den kolde, friske vinterluft og følte sit hjerte slå lidt hurtigere.En: He took a deep breath, smelling the cold, fresh winter air and felt his heart beat a little faster.Da: I hånden havde han en lille pakke med frø, et håb om at genoptage en gammel venskab.En: In his hand, he held a small packet of seeds, a hope of rekindling an old friendship.Da: Astrid ventede allerede ved indgangen.En: Astrid was already waiting at the entrance.Da: Hendes ånde dannede små skyer i den kolde luft.En: Her breath formed small clouds in the cold air.Da: Hun stod stille, betaget af vinterhavens stille skønhed, mens hun ventede på Mikkel.En: She stood still, captivated by the winter garden's quiet beauty, while waiting for Mikkel.Da: Det var længe siden deres sidste møde, og hun spekulerede på, hvordan det ville være at se ham igen.En: It had been a long time since their last meeting, and she wondered what it would be like to see him again.Da: Da Mikkel nærmede sig, vinkede

been close friends, but time and some misunderstandings had created distance between them.Da: Nu stod de ansigt til ansigt igen, begge fulde af minder og forsigtige forhåbninger.En: Now they stood face to face again, both full of memories and cautious hopes.Da: Sammen begyndte de at gå gennem haven, deres skridt dæmpede af sneen.En: Together, they began to walk through the garden, their steps muffled by the snow.Da: De talte lidt om hverdagslige ting – arbejdet, vejret, og hvordan julen havde været.En: They talked a little about everyday things – work, the weather, and how Christmas had been.Da: Men en underliggende spænding hang i luften, sagtens skabt af tiden og de forsvundne år.En: But an underlying tension lingered in the air, likely caused by time and the years that had passed.Da: Snart nåede de den frostbelagte dam.En: Soon, they reached the frost-covered pond.Da: Den lå som et spejl, der reflekterede den grå himmel.En: It lay like a mirror, reflecting the gray

savnet de tider."En: "I've missed those times."Da: De fortsatte med at gå, snakkende mere frit og grinende, som de genfandt deres rytme.En: They continued walking, talking more freely and laughing, as they rediscovered their rhythm.Da: Som sneen dalede og dækkede jorden, begyndte også gamle sår at glattes ud og forsvinde.En: As the snow fell and covered the ground, old wounds also began to smooth out and disappear.Da: Da de til sidst forlod haven, føltes luften lettere.En: When they finally left the garden, the air felt lighter.Da: Den klamme afstand var mindre, og de vidste begge, at deres venskab, som de frø Mikkel havde bragt, kunne vokse sig stærkere med tid og omsorg.En: The damp distance had lessened, and they both knew that their friendship, like the seeds Mikkel had brought, could grow stronger with time and care.Da: Mikkel gik hjem med en klarhed: Nogle venskaber var som planter.En: Mikkel went home with a sense of clarity: Some friendships are like plants.Da: De kunne visne og tabe blade, men med den rette pleje kunne de blomstre igen.En: They may wither and shed leaves, but with proper care, they can bloom again.Da: Astrid og han havde plantet frø til noget nyt, og han følte sig sikker på fremtiden, på det, de kunne genskabe sammen.En: Astrid and he had planted the seeds of something new, and he felt confident about the future, about what they could recreate together.
