COUNTRIES: HAITI :
DISASTERS: EARTHQUAKES:
At Carnival Time, a Joyless Haiti
At Carnival Time, a Joyless Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti Oh, what a party there would have been. Sound
trucks with towering speakers. Dancers in eye-catching outfits. Three days
of rum-fueled, dusk-to-dawn debauchery.
But Haitis Carnival was called off, replaced with an equal period of
mourning, and the grand Champ de Mars square on Sunday had none of the
boisterous joy that usually breaks out this time of year. Religious
leaders shouted out sermons and their followers, packed together tightly,
held their arms toward the sky. Some Haitians did take to the streets for
some dancing on Sunday. But most of all there was glumness across this
crumbled capital.
It would have been such a big day, said Ralph Severe, 28, who had been set
to dance in the 2010 Carnival parade here. There would have been so much
music, so many colors.
A reviewing stand, where important people would have watched the
spectacle, looked oddly out of place on the Champ de Mars, surrounded by
thousands of tents sheltering those who have lost their homes. The only
masks on peoples faces were surgical ones, to cover up the putrid smell.
Although many Haitians said they missed Carnival, this troubled countrys
biggest holiday, there was really no debate about whether it ought to go
on so soon after such a devastating natural disaster.
The earthquake destroyed my life even though Im living, said Mr. Severe,
with similarly traumatized people all around him. I live on the street. I
lost everything. Today, I should be dancing but the earthquake ruined
everything.
