NOTE
La légende dit que ces fleurs proliféraient au-dessus des charniers. En dessous, les cadavres des soldats pourrissaient et se transformaient et se recyclaient en engrais et compost ou matières résiduelles. Et les cimetières et les pierres tombales et les croix. Et sur les terres ravagées par les bombardements où plus rien ne poussait. Sauf ces monstrueuses fleurs parasites. On remarquera que si la fleur naturelle est rouge, sa copie l'est davantage. On dirait même une tache de sang avec au centre le trou foncé par où serait entrée la balle. On peut y voir une sorte de cible. Que l'on s'entête à porter sur soi. Ce qui est malaisant. Autrefois, le centre était vert ce qui rappelait la nature. Et moins le point d'impact d'une balle.
ARTICLES CULTURELS
Where are they made? Up until the mid-1990s, military
veterans made the poppies Canadians proudly pin close to their hearts. This
year’s poppies were put together by inmates in minimum, medium and
maximum-security prisons in the prairies. Corcan, a division of Correctional
Services Canada, employing prisoners to make everything from furniture to
blankets. Trico Printing, a private company, has the contract with a rehab
program of Corrections Services Canada. With an expected (somewhat optimistic)
225 operational days per year in the shop (25 days of stat holidays and
lockdowns) it will require 53 inmates working full time to assemble all 18
million poppies. Earning up to $6.90 a day. The prison guards’ union
complained, however, of the danger of sending millions of pins into prisons. Cost 12¢
each. Trico shipped those poppies by UPS in boxes of 1,000 poppies.
Poppy protocol: six rules you need to follow. Where is a poppy worn? On the left lapel. On the left side, close
to your heart. When should poppies be worn? Who should wear a poppy? How many
poppies is the correct amount to wear? Whatever number seems appropriate for
you, Maxwell says. Most people wear just one, but Queen Elizabeth II routinely
wears several poppies when honouring the war dead. How should poppies be
disposed of? Why you
shouldn’t change the pin. What you should do with your poppy on Nov. 12 ?
Pourquoi les Français portent-ils des bleuets le 11 novembre
et les britanniques des coquelicots?
