Nicholas Was ...

With Christmas fast approaching I really like both movies that the books theme, which I think contribute to making the atmosphere even more magical this period. Today, hanging out on Tumblr , I discovered the animated adaptation of the poem Nicholas Was by Neil Gaiman, a poem that is part of his collection of short stories Smoke and Mirrors , unfortunately still unpublished in Italy. ç__ç This adaptation takes less than a minute and a half and is totally different from the usual Christmas stuff. Forget, therefore, the joy of the decorations and lights and welcome to an atmosphere that can not be darker!

Although the voice that reads the poem makes it much more disturbing, I would have preferred it to be that of Neil, as you can hear here .

Nicholas Was ...
Older Than sin, and His beard Could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.
The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories.
Once very year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves’ invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen into time.
He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.
Ho.
Ho.
Ho.

Prima concluding, I wish to post some of the answers that I liked more between those dates a few months ago during a friendly interview that his fans made him on Twitter. Unfortunately I was so excited that I could not ask him anything! ç__ç

"This is Neil on Waterstones' account, Hoping it's working. Not a question or an answer. Just tapping the mic. Testing 123 ... "

Fan: " When you look at the night sky, do you see huge balls of burning gas or do you see magic? "
Neil " I see infinite Possibility, which is both.”

Fan: “Who is your favorite doctor? As in Doctor Who.”
Neil: “Patrick Troughton. He was "my" Doctor.”

Fan: “Do you think people can learn to be imaginative or that is just something you have or develop as a child?”
Neil: “I think we are all imaginative as kids, but some of us listen when told not to make things up & some don't.”
