The question "How are you?" doesn't need to be answered in detail - my first grade teacher used to say. – People say it out of politeness. They don't really care how you feel.
She probably said it in other words, not so directly. In a sense, we were children, we didn't know…
"life may be compared to a piece of embroidery, of which, during the first half of his time, a man gets a sight of the right side, and during the second half, of the wrong. The wrong side is not so pretty as the right, but it is more instructive; it shows the way in which the…
The flower of patience - Begonia Dichotoma Jacquin!
Zenaido Hernández, found on the island of El Hierro (Canary Islands) in Spain, a specimen of the so-called Flower of Patience, a very striking plant that blooms every seven years and lasts only seven days in bloom!
"Shaken to the depths of your soul, you know that day and night someone is waiting for you, thinking of you, longing and sighing for you - a woman, a stranger. She wants, she demands, she desires you with every fiber of her being, with her body, with her blood. She wants your…

When Charlie Chaplin decided to propose to Oona, who was 30 years his junior, he tenderly said, "Marry me to teach you how to live, and you teach me how to die."
She responded with grace, "No Charlie, I will marry you to learn how to grow mature, and I will teach you how to…
"During his reading hours, which were between one and five o'clock in the morning, but not every morning, he had come to the disconcerting conclusion that whistling was not an important theme in literature."
Cortázar, "Hopscotch"

Good morning
The rhythm, the pace of his speech, the forms and colors, the harmony of the sounds, the power of life, the creation of life - in these properties of his style, Nietzsche achieved untouchable beauty and height. And no one can be a better teacher than he in the field of artistic…
"Above my cradle loomed the bookcase where/ Latin ashes and the dust of Greece/ mingled with novels, history, and verse/ in one dark Babel. I was folio-high/ when I first heard the voices."
Baudelaire
Constantine P. Cavafy was born on April 29 1863 in Alexandria, Egypt, and died on the same date in 1933. At the end of the XIX and the first half of the XX century, the Greek colony was numerous and rich. In fact, by 1913, there were probably more Greeks living abroad than in…
"Dance is a vertical expression of horizontal desire." I don't remember where I read this thought, but it obviously made an impression on me as I keep remembering it. Sometimes it is as if someone else is formulating the thoughts that move us. You happen to come across a…
