"No woman would die like that, no matter how much she loved him. A woman would fight! "

Todas as cartas de amor são
ridículas.
Não seriam cartas de amor se não fossem
ridículas.

Também escrevi em meu tempo cartas de amor,
como as outras,
ridículas.

As cartas de amor, se há amor,
têm de ser
ridículas.

Mas, afinal,
só as criaturas que nunca escreveram
cartas de amor
é que são
ridículas.

Quem me dera no tempo em que escrevia
sem dar por isso
cartas de amor
ridículas.

A verdade é que hoje
as minhas memórias
dessas cartas de amor
é que são
ridículas.

(Todas as palavras esdrúxulas,
como os sentimentos esdrúxulos,
são naturalmente
ridículas).

Tutte le lettere d'amore sono
ridìcole.
Non sarebbero lettere d'amore se non fossero
ridìcole.

Anch'io a mio tempo scrissi lettere d'amore,
come le altre,
ridìcole.

Le lettere d'amore, se c'è amore,
devono essere
ridìcole.

Ma, infine,
son le creature che non han mai scritto
lettere d'amore
ad essere
ridìcole.

Beati i tempi in cui scrivevo
senza accorgermene
lettere d'amore
ridìcole.

La verità è che oggi
son le mie rimembranze
di quelle lettere d'amore
ad essere
ridìcole.

(Tutte le parole sdrùcciole,
come i sentimenti sdrùccioli,
sono naturalmente
ridìcole).

Álvaro de Campos (pseudonimo di Fernando Pessoa) - 1935




two days that i'm back home. i'm gonna leave again in two weeks to end the excavacion till the end of october. now i'll stay home to work a bit, some graduation's days and stuff...
yesterday...two months i've sent a certain letter...and no reply. i think i won't have a reply. for good. and maybe it's ok like that.
now i have to collect the pieces of myself...and move on. (just that??...'t's so easy, ain't it...).

tryin to keep up with the movies i wanted to watch for so long...
miami vice, stage beauty and pride and prejudice are now on my list....
i enjoyed the first one...
the second one stole my heart...(thank gods i had the original version and not the italian one with the horrible dubbing)...billy crudup is my king!!!!
and the third one....well well...i still have to watch it in the original version. the dubbed one...seemed a bit stupid and boring to me. you know...keira knightley still have to learn how to act (in my opinion)...and can ruin a part...
the direction of the film was pretty interesting...the way they have written some scenes...trying to see it in a different way. but i don't know...i didn't feel anything. it was COLD. the acting from all the other actors was remarkable...but i can't stand keira...i can't! i'm sorry! that's not acting! that's always "bend it like beckham"....she can act just being like she is!...and that's not acting! i don't want to be cruel...but...it's just like that for me.
it's my silly straight point of view.
that's it.

it's cold..
it's really autumn out there.
a big kiss. take care.

Maria: "Your old tutor did you a great disservice, Mr. Kynaston. He taught you how to speak, and swoon, and toss your head but he never taught you how to suffer like a woman, or love like a woman. He trapped a man in a woman's form and left you there to die! I always hated you as Desdemona. You never fought! You just died, beautifully. No woman would die like that, no matter how much she loved him. A woman would fight!"
