I have one chapter of A Feast of Crows left and I hate everything. Why did I ever start these books? Everything hurts all the freaking time |

Of course there is always time to read what we want, but the discussions or analysis we had in High School were fun but none of them were about European writers' work __________________

Hey LGC...except for some classical works such as Madame Bovary (which I loved!)... but yeah, you gotta point. We concentrate way too much in local authors and foreign ones don't get much of a chance.

I'm going to post a small part of a piece, by a Portuguese author Miguel Esteves Cardoso. Most of you won't understand, but some will.
He's not from my city, Porto, and his not from the North of Portugal, but he manage to put into words, the different way the blood runs through our veins, here in Porto, here in the North of Portugal. This small piece talks about the women of the North! "As raparigas do Norte têm belezas perigosas, olhos verdes-impossíveis, daqueles em que os versos, desde o dia em que nascem, se põem a escrever-se sozinhos. Têm o ar de quem pertence a si própria. Andam de mãos nas ancas. Olham de frente. Pensam em tudo e dizem tudo o que pensam. Confiam, mas não dão confiança. Olho para as raparigas do meu país e acho-as bonitas e honradas, graciosas sem estarem para brincadeiras, bonitas sem serem belas, erguidas pelo nariz, seguras pelo queixo, aprumadas, mas sem vaidade. Acho-as verdadeiras. Acredito nelas. Gosto da vergonha delas, da maneira como coram quando se lhes fala e da maneira como podem puxar de um estalo ou de uma panela, quando se lhes falta ao respeito. Gosto das pequeninas, com o cabelo puxado atrás das orelhas, e das velhas, de carrapito perfeito, que têm os olhos endurecidos de quem passou a vida a cuidar dos outros. Gosto dos brincos, dos sapatos, das saias. Gosto das burguesas, vestidas à maneira, de braço enlaçado nos homens. Fazem-me todas medo, na maneira calada como conduzem as cerimónias e os maridos, mas gosto delas. São mulheres que possuem; são mulheres que pertencem. As mulheres do Norte deveriam mandar neste país. Têm o ar de que sabem o que estão a fazer." __________________

Ooooooh Portuguese again! (I'm feeling like Lily when the Spanish speakers were ruling the board )
I love it! He writes beautifully. And this: Quote:

Poet of the day: Bocage Self-portrait "Thin, blue eyes, tanned face, His fair share of feet, middling height, Sad face and figure, High nose in the middle, and not small; Incapable of staying in just one place, Quicker to anger than tenderness; Drinking in his pale hands, out of a dark cup, From hellish enthusiasms a lethal poison; Burning incense to a thousand divinities (I mean, a thousand girls) in a single moment, Loving the priests only at the altar, This is Bocage, in whom some talent shines; He himself wrote these truths, On a day when he was bored." __________________

I loved the rhythm and the sounds he uses. And I loved the other text you sent me. Quote:

I want to bring a little theatre to the thread if anyone is interested. What would you be most interested in? Plays, musicals, interviews? Anything with our TGW alumni maybe or some classics? __________________
