Por cada bola de Berlim, por cada vez que se desobedece ao dever e se cede ao coração; por cada indevida fatia de pão alentejano com innapropriate queijo cheddar devidamente envelhecido, numa hora do dia (como o chá da tarde) em que não deveria, dieteticamente, ter ocorrido, há um bónus ontológico, que rende na nossa alma até ao momento de morrermos, que é a verificação irrefutável que aquela alegria, por muito imerecida ou imoral, já ninguém nos pode tirar.

2012 ou bónus ontológico.
Por cada bola de Berlim, por cada vez que se desobedece ao dever e se cede ao coração; por cada indevida fatia de pão alentejano com innapropriate queijo cheddar devidamente envelhecido, numa hora do dia (como o chá da tarde) em que não deveria, dieteticamente, ter ocorrido, há um bónus ontológico, que rende na nossa alma até ao momento de morrermos, que é a verificação irrefutável que aquela alegria, por muito imerecida ou imoral, já ninguém nos pode tirar.

tenho um jardim pequenino.
A garden of our own,
And every day we water there
The seeds that we have sown.
We love our little garden,
And tend it with such care,
You will not find a faced leaf
Or blighted blossom there.
Beatrix Potter
«And having grown tired of his empire, along with its sun that never set, Charles V installed his brother Ferdinand as ruler of Austria and emperor of Germany, and gave Spain and the Netherlands to his son Philip. He then withdrew, in 1556, an old and broken man, to the Spanish monastery of San Geronimo de Yuste. It is said that he spent his time there repairing and regulating all the clocks. He wanted them to chime at the same time. When he didn't succeed, he is reported to have said:
'How did I ever presume to try to unite all the peoples of my empire when I cannot, even once, persuade a few clocks to chime together.'

amo-te.
goddamn' Europeans
take me back to beautiful England
and the grey damp filthiness
of ages and battered books

upon my rosy cheeks
I just let those kisses be
don't wash my face for weeks

anyone can find places, but the finding of people is a gift from God (reprise)
«It was pleasant, too, to fling
wide the windows, pinching
the fingers in unfamiliar
fastenings, to lean out into
sunshine»
