ULeonard Cohen.Facebook ULeonard Cohen wasweleka nge-7 ka-Novemba sele evuthiwe eneminyaka engama-82, esabhityile ngokwaneleyo ukuba angangena kwiteki yehoki yolutsha awayeyinxiba esengumfana.
Nangona ubuthathaka bukaCohen baba yinxalenye yomfanekiso wakhe wokugqibela, efika ngohlobo lwe ukuya ENew Yorker iprofayile Apho uCohen wenza uluhlu lweentlungu zakhe zomzimba kunye nomoya ngaphambi kokuba akhulule ngokungaqhelekanga wayekulungele ukufa, umntu wethu wakucima ukukhanya ngokwamazwi akhe. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ebenegalelo kwimibongo yakhe ENew Yorker iminyaka. INkosana yeMbongi yaseMontréal yahlala iyinkosi yebali layo de kwaba sekupheleni.
UCohen wadlala ngemifanekiso yokufa kangangeminyaka, kananjalo, kutshanje ebuza kumaqweqwe eerekhodi zakhe ezintathu zokugqibela ezinje ngesidumbu esixhaswayo, esihlekisayo esivela Ngeempelaveki KwaBernie . Xa amaziko akhe olondolozo lwembali uMarianne Ihlen elele ebulawa ngumhlaza ebutsheni balo nyaka, uCohen waprofeta ngokufa kwakhe okusondeleyo kwileta yokuvalelisa kuye. ENew Yorker iprofayili ibambe amandla ezinkumbulo zakhe, nanjengoko ezinye iinkqubo zakhe zazingaphumeleli-eyona nto yayibuhlungu yayikukukhumbula kwakhe ukuba intyatyambo enye u-Ihlen ayibuyise kwikhaya labo elidala e-Hydra ingaliqhumisa lonke igumbi.
Kwakuyindlela ende okoko uCohen wehlayo esuka kwiNtaba iBaldy njenge monki ebekiweyo ukuya kwiwaka leminyaka elitsha, wafumanisa ukuba umphathi wakhe kunye nalowo wayethandana naye ngaphambili babebaleke nokonga kwakhe ubomi. Xa uCohen wabuyela endleleni, wafumana imizuzu emithathu emi ngaphambi kokucula inqaku. Ngexesha awaye ngalo etempileni, lo mfundi waphinda waba ngutitshala.
Utitshala akazange akhawuleze ayenze into yokubetha kwakhe, Haleluya, indlela abafundi bakhe benza , Ukusebenza iinguqulelo ezide ezingapheliyo zeendinyana ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Xa yayigqunywe ngamakhulu amatyeli ngeendlela ezininzi ezahlukeneyo, izizukulwana ezincinci zazisazi ingoma njengengoma yobugcisa kaJeff Buckley okanye kaJustin Timberlake. UCohen wayekhathazekile xa uHaleluya egqithisile kwi-canon yakhe waba kwindawo yonke, nangona eyabelana ngokukhululekileyo ngengoma. Njengamathambo amadala kunye aphelayo eetoni ezikuxelela ukuba uyicule kanjani iTah isahlulo, njengamaholo aqhelekileyo okanye igama elingenakubhengezwa likaThixo, iivesi ezomeleleyo kunye nezinye ezingaphezulu zihlala zinyamalala kwezi ngqimba, zishiywe zinomdla wobufutshane. Ukuba kwakungekho nto elulwimini lwakhe kusenokwenzeka ukuba wayethetha ukuba waphilisa uMosisi okanye i-lisp yakhe, okanye kwakungekho Eucharist ye-psychedelic emva kwemibono yakhe. Nokuba yeyiphi indlela, uCohen wayenokwenza ukuba ityholo livuthe ngokulijonga nje.
Inkululeko ebonakalayo ye-orgasm, uCohen wabona inkululeko emfazweni. Amathanga ayengamabhodlo, wenyuka phantsi kweArble Arch. Xa uculela uJoan waseArc kwi Iingoma Zothando Nentiyo , wawonga umxhasi wesanta yaseFrance Canada ngokuchaza ubumbano phakathi kwabanye abathandi bamajoni— Kwaye nangona ndinxiba iyunifomu, andizalwanga kulwa / Onke la makhwenkwe onzakeleyo olala ecaleni kwawo, ulala kakuhle, bahlobo bam, nilale kakuhle. 
U-Leonard Cohen wenza e-Isle of Wight ngo-1970.Ngokunyanisekileyo kukaLeonard Cohen
UCohen wayekhe wamisa abangcwele ngaphambili, evusa umbono wobukhulu njengoko wayehlola okungcwele nokuhlambeleyo. Abo babenomoya ofanayo wokuphanda ekugqibeleni bakhubeka kuvuyo kunye nobungangamsha bemibhalo yakhe yakuqala, xa wazenzela igama njengembongi kunye nombhali wenoveli ngaphambi kokuthatha isigqibo sokuba kukho imali eninzi ekubhaleni iingoma.
Kwaye njengomfanekiso omangalisayo, omdaka wothando nokufa, ngo-1966 Ilahleko entle uthabathe icala elibi lothando olukhululekileyo eMontréal ebandayo, njengoko uCohen ethandaze kwisanta yaseMelika yaseMelika ebimnqwenelela kakubi. Akukho xwebhu lungcono, engqondweni yam, lobuntu obumangalisayo bukaCohen kunale nde, umdlalo wokungcakaza wendaba.
Yintoni ingcwele? UCohen ubuza umoya kaKateri Tekakwitha , njengoko ejonga iingcambu zakhe zeAlgonquin kwisenzo sokukhusela inceba. Ingcwele ngumntu ophumelele ukubakho kwabantu okude. Akunakwenzeka ukuba utsho ukuba kungenzeka ntoni. Ndicinga ukuba inento yokwenza namandla othando. Ukunxibelelana nala mandla kukhokelela ekusebenziseni uhlobo lokulinganisela kwisiphithiphithi sobukho. Umntu ongcwele akayiphelisi isiphithiphithi; ukuba ebesenzile umhlaba ngewutshintshe kudala. Andicingi ukuba ingcwele inyibilikisa isiphithiphithi nakuye, kuba kukho into ezikhukhumezayo kunye nemfazwe ngombono womntu obeka iphela ngendlela. Luhlobo lokulinganisa uzuko lwakhe. Ukhwela imithambo njengeskipa esibalekileyo. Ikhosi yakhe yi-caress yenduli. Umkhondo wakhe ngumzobo wekhephu ngomzuzu wolungiselelo oluthile lomoya kunye nelitye. Into ethile ayithandayo ehlabathini kangangokuba uzinikela kwimithetho yomxhuzulane kunye nethuba. Kude nokubhabha kunye neengelosi, ulandelela ukuthembeka kwenaliti yesismograph imeko yommandla wegazi oqinileyo.

Kwenzekani Ilahleko entle Sifundise ngokuba ngcwele, malunga neenkwenkwezi, malunga no-Cohen's hedonism ongathandabuzekiyo kunye nokuba nesithixo somthonyama? Lowo ukuthelekisa iintsomi sesona senzo sisondeleyo akaze aluphale.
Oku kukhokelele abagxeki okanye ababini ukuba babize uCohen oselula uHenry Miller, waseMelika owabhala ubugcisa bakhe, ITropic yoMhlaza , ngelixa ekhanga umfazi womhlobo wakhe osenyongweni eParis. NjengoMiller, ingxelo kaCohen enamaqhina ithembele kwifomathi yomjelo wokuqonda egcina iziqwenga ezininzi zobulumko kunye ne-epiphany ifihliwe, ekuvuza ngokufunda kwiibhithi ezimbi. Zidle ngezi zikhanyiso zifileyo kwaye ziya kukubonisa ubulumko bazo.
NjengoMiller, uCohen wayenobudlelwane obunzima kunye namaFrentshi. Kwinkcazo yakhe yeklasi yexesha le-WWII yendabuko, Isijwili sikaMkhethe , UCohen uzifanisa ebaleka esuka kumaNazi, xa ixhegokazi lisweleka lodwa limkhusela kwaye imida yintolongo yakhe. Umhlaba omkhulu ungaba njani yindawo yokuvalelwa? Ndandinalo mgca owenziwe umvambo engalweni yam kwindawo apho ookhokho bam babephawulwe ngamanani njengesikhumbuzo sokuba ayiyiyo yonke imizekelo yenkululeko ezisa inkululeko. Ngamanye amaxesha ukuhlala kwimiphetho kunokuba sisiqalekiso.
Ukuba kukho nabuphi na ubugebenga kwixesha lokudlula kukaCohen kule veki, ungena kumbuzo wokuba angaphendula njani kwiingxoxo ezinekhowudi kunye nokubhabha kwe-fascist bile esiyibonayo ekhaya. Usweleke ngoMvulo, kusuku olungaphambi konyulo lobongameli, kodwa khange sixelelwe kude kube phezolo. Oko, nako, kuyaziva kubalulekile.

Ngo-1985, uCohen wabhala lo mbongo : O Fransi, unike ulwimi lwakho kubantwana bam, izithandwa zakho kunye namakhowa akho emfazini wam. Uzicule iingoma zam. Uhambise umalume wam kunye nomakazi wam kumaNazi. Ndadibana nezifuba zesikhumba samapolisa e-Place de la Bastille. Ndithathe imali kumaKomanisi. Ndinike iminyaka yam yobudala obuphakathi kwiidolophu ezinobisi zaseLuberon. Ndabaleka izinja zasefama kwindlela engaphandle kweRoussillon. Isandla sam siyangcangcazela kwilizwe laseFrance. Ndize kuwe nefilosofi engcolileyo yobungcwele, kwaye undimisele ukuba ndihlale phantsi kudliwanondlebe. O France, apho ndasiwa khona ngokungathí sina, kwafuneka ndiphinde ndisiqwalasele isikhundla sam. O Fransi, wonke uMesiya omncinci uyabulela kuwe ukuba yedwa. Ndifuna ukuba kwenye indawo, kodwa ndihlala ndiseFrance. Yomelela, ube yinyukliya, France yam. Ukudlala ngothando macala onke, kwaye uthethe, uthethe, ungaze uyeke ukuthetha ngendlela yokuphila ngaphandle kwe-G-d.
AmaFrentshi nawo afundise uCohen okuninzi malunga nokufa okwethutyana. Oko sikubiza ngokuba yi-orgasm abayibizayo ukufa okuncinci , Kwaye kude kube ngoku ukufa kwakusebenza indlela yakhe kwiingoma zakhe zokuqala ngokuhamba koololiwe kunye nesiko lokubingelela, yayikho kuCohen njengophawu lokukhululwa kwamandla. NjengoBaudelaire kwi Kumntu odlulayo, ohamba edlula emfazini elilile kwaye echukunyiswa bubuthathaka bakhe azifumana evuselelekile ngokwesondo, amagqabantshintshi okusweleka kukaCohen kudala ekhonza ukuqaqambisa ubuntu bakhe, ukuba semngciphekweni kwakhe, ubusuku obuninzi obungenabuthongo bokugcina uluhlu lwempumelelo kunye nokusilela kwakhe njengomthandi.
Kwaye onke amanenekazi ahamba emanzi, kwaye ijaji ayinandlela yimbi, imvumi kufuneka ifele ubuxoki kwilizwi layo, icule nge-74's Ulusu olutsha kumnyhadala omdala.
UCohen wayehlala ecula ngokukhanya nobumnyama, nto leyo i-albhamu yakhe yokugqibela, Ufuna kube mnyama , izisa kuvuthondaba . Uninzi lukhumbula enye yezona zidumo zidumileyo zeZen kōans, iqhina okanye ibinzana elilenzelwe ukushukumisa umfundi kunye nokukhuthaza iingcinga ezingathandekiyo, ezivela kwi-Anthem-- Khalisa iintsimbi ezisenokukhala / Ulibale umnikelo wakho ogqibeleleyo / Kukho ukuqhekeka kuyo yonke into / Yindlela ukukhanya okungena ngayo.

Umxholo wokukhanya okungena kwi-façade yezinto unzulu kakhulu yiKabalistic, kwaye uveza umbono weklipot. Iklipa liqokobhe, intonga ekhusela iziqhamo ngaphakathi kwayo. Sinxiba la magobolondo ukuzikhusela-uloyiko lwethu olunzulu kunye neminqweno, eyona nto iphambili kuthi, kufuneka ihlale ihleli kwaye ifihliwe. Kodwa nje ukuba siguquke ukuze sikuqonde oko wonke umntu inayo le klipot, siyabona ukuba ngaphantsi kwawo nawaphi na amanqanaba acingelweyo okunqanyulwa okanye ukudideka, inzondo okanye ukungcola, kukho umbane ofanayo.
Njengomfundi wezinto ezisebenza ngengqondo, uCohen wadibanisa ezo zinto zokomoya kunye nokwanda kwengqondo yamachiza kwangoko. Iprofayile yaseNew Yorker kaRemnick ikhumbula ukuba uCohen uzidlise ngeasidi ngexesha lomboniso kwa-Israyeli oqhubeka kakubi kakhulu, kuphela ukubona umbono kaMarianne ubonakalisiwe phambi kwakhe njengengcwele. UCohen uxelele uRemnick ukuba uza kukhubeka kwiveranda yekhaya labo elidala lakwa-Hydra, rhoqo kude kuse, elinde ukubona uThixo.
Ukuba igama elithi kōan livakala ngokungathandekiyo njengoCohen, imbali erekhodiweyo isixelela ukuba oku akunakuba kungakho ngengozi. U-Kohen ligama lesiHebhere elithetha umbingeleli, kwaye ama-High Kohens etempileni ayengekho ngaphaya kokuthambisa imizimba yabo yonke kwioyile ye-hash ukuze bazise phambi komdali wabo. KwiDuteronomi, u-High Kohen Aaron utshisa isiqhumiso se-marijuana ukuphilisa abakhonzi kwisiphithiphithi. UThixo wathi kuNowa, zithathele imifuno b’samim.
Ke ngoko sithuthuzeleka kukuva ukuba unyana kaLeonard, u-Adam Cohen, wayonwabela intsangu yezonyango kunye notata wakhe ngelixa baberekhoda icwecwe lakhe lokugqibela.

UCohen inokuba wayehamba entlango ubomi bakhe bonke, kodwa wayenendlela yokuhlekisa ngayo. Ngalo lonke uguquko olukhanyisiweyo lwebinzana okanye uhlalutyo olubuhlungu lweentambo ezingabonakaliyo ezibopha ingqondo emzimbeni nasemphefumlweni kwinyama, wayeza kuzilungisa ngokwakhe. Nokuba olona nxibelelwano lwakhe lukhulu kwiinkqubo zokukhanyisa kunye nokunyuka yayiyimidlalo elungileyo. Njengoko watshoyo kwi-Old Revolution, kwanokugwetywa kuyityhefu yimvula.
Omnye umbongo kaCohen : Unyanisile, Sahara. Akukho zinkungu, okanye iikhuselo, okanye imigama. Kodwa inkungu ingqongwe yinkungu; kwaye isigqubuthelo sifihliwe emva kwekhuselo. kwaye umgama uqhubeka ushenxa kumgama. Kungenxa yoko le nto kungekho nkungu, okanye zigqumathelo, okanye imigama. Kungenxa yoko le nto ibizwa ngokuba nguMgama oMkhulu weNkungu kunye neeVenkile. Kulapha ke apho uMhambi esiba nguMhambi, kwaye uMhambimntu uba nguLowo ulahlekileyo, kwaye Lowo ulahlekileyo uba nguMfunayo, kwaye uMfuni abe nguMthandi oThandekayo, aze uMthandi obawela abe nguMngqibi, aze uMceli abe Umhlola, kunye noWretch uba nguLowo kufuneka ubingelelwe, kwaye Lowo kufuneka abingelelwe uba nguLowo uvusiweyo kwaye Lowo uvusiweyo nguLowo ugqithisileyo kuMgama oMkhulu weNkungu kunye neeVeki. Ke iminyaka eliwaka, okanye yonke eminye imva kwemini, onje ujikeleza kuMlilo oVuthayo woTshintsho, ehlanganisa zonke iinguqu, enye emva kwenye, kwaye aqale kwakhona, kwaye aphele kwakhona, amaxesha angama-86,000 ngomzuzwana. Ke onjalo, ukuba uyindoda, ukulungele ukumthanda umfazi uSahara; Kwaye onjalo, ukuba ungumfazi, ukulungele ukuthanda indoda enokufaka ingoma ekuMgama oMkhulu weNkungu kunye neeVeki. Ngaba ulindile, Sahara, okanye ndim?
Okokugqibela, ngo-82, uCohen uxele kwangaphambili ukuphela kohambo lwakhe lwasentlango. Imfazwe iphelile, ubuncinci okwangoku. Intombazana ende kunye neyona blondest iyalazi igama lakhe, kwaye uyilandele yadlula kwisibingelelo seplastiki kunye namabhodlo amandulo.

Nangona sonke sinokuziva sinoloyiko lobukho 'bokunye' emhlabeni kwezi ntsuku, uCohen usifundisa ukuba ezi mvakalelo zokuba lilolo kunye nokuzimela ekuthinjweni asizizo zethu zodwa zokuthandana. Sithelekisa iintsomi ukufumanisa ukuba, embindini wazo, ziyafana zonke. Kwaye kukho ubukhulu kolu nxibelelwano lusibophelelayo, nokuba intambo eqhelekileyo ingumphunga woluvo, uloyiko lothando. Akukho lunyango ngayo.
Kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, utitshala owazibiza ngokuba nguShree Bhagwan Rajneesh weza negama elithi 'Zorba the Buddha' ukuchaza le ndoda ifanelekileyo yanamhlanje: Indoda ecingayo egcina iqhina lokuzinikela ngokungqongqo kumandla e-cosmic, kodwa isekhaya ngokupheleleyo emzimbeni Umbuso, wabhala umbhali endimthandayo, uTom Robbins.
Indoda enjalo iyalazi ixabiso le-dharma kunye nexabiso le-deutschmark, iyazi ukuba ingakanani imali yokufaka i-waiter kwiklabhu yasebusuku yaseParis kwaye mangaphi amaxesha okuqubuda kwi-shrine yaseKyoto, indoda enokwenza ishishini xa ishishini liyimfuneko, vumela Ingqondo yakhe yokungena kwi-pine cone, okanye ukungqungqa xa ulahla endle ukuba ushukunyiswa yimvumi. Ngokwala ukubuphepha ubuhle, le Zorba i-Buddha ayizifumani kwiziyolo ezivuthiweyo hayi ukuphikisana kodwa isiqinisekiso somoya. Ngaba akavakali kakhulu njengoLeonard Cohen?
Ndihleli nalento, ndibuyela ku Ilahleko entle , njengoko uCohen ecamngca ngobume belifa elilahlekileyo ngongcwele wase-Algonquian ofileyo, u-Kateri Tekakwitha-andifuni ukuba yinkwenkwezi, ngokufa nje.
Kodwa izibhalo ziya kuthi kungekudala ukuba akukho nto nje ngokudlula kukaCohen. Umfundi ube ngutitshala, kwaye isizukulwana esitsha sabathandi siya kuphakama njengoko iintaba zibamba umhlaba.
