Poemas de Pessoa 3

A Água da chuva desce a ladeira.
É uma água ansiosa.
Faz lagos e rios pequenos, e cheira
A terra a ditosa.

Há muitos que contam a dor e o pranto
De o amor os não qu'rer...
Mas eu, que também não os tenho, o que canto
É outra coisa qualquer.

A Chuva Desce a Ladeira
Fernando Pessoa

Life is very strange... you are working with someone in the morning, hiking, searching, investigating and then at night they are gone, burried and never again will you see them, hear their voice or feel their presence...
I wish I could understand.

So true!

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you. Dale Carnegie

Childhood memories: Marilu e Sara Lee

Pedro me fez lembrar desse video fantastico:

Research Quotes XIII

Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs;
Where beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.

John Keats - Ode to a Nightingale

Stuck in Lisbon - it can be nice!

Life this week is lived between being a nerd workaholic potato, to being a lazy coach potato! (Once in a while I go to the balcony for some air)...

L. is stranded in Lisbon due to a volcano... how cool does this sound?!

It does not seem like the orange thingy is getting anywhere far from the UK...

By Lin Yutang

If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.

Poemas de Pessoa 2

A água chia no púcaro que elevo à boca.
«É um som fresco» diz-me quem me dá a bebê-la.
Sorrio. O som é só um som de chiar.
Bebo a água sem ouvir nada com a minha garganta.
