“You and your thoughts! The vagueness of the future, the memories of yesterday and the promises of today, Remind me of you, everyday, and whenever it is today, In the last moment of wakeful mind before falling asleep, It is you I think of and you I dream of when I am fast asleep, In the view of the busy and at times relaxed world and the perspectives thereof, I look for you in everything, in its corners, in its open spaces, and live off the memories thereof, In the mind’s silence and in the heart’s endless beatings to keep kissing life, I listen to them both while thinking of you in my every passing moment of life, In the present that rushes to meet the future and shorten my span of dreams and desires, I smile silently because it does not know my life is but an endless bloom of your memories and your desires, In this moment while I am thinking of you Irma and my mind weaves a tapestry of known feelings, I wish you knew, I wish you realised, that all of them are our feelings, those beautiful bygone feelings, In the moments when I exist and yet feel maybe I don’t at all belong in the present, I roll my memories, I wrap my desires, and I slumber in the past, where you and your feelings are the only present! In this state I never realise when it is midday, when it is night and when it is today, Because now you become my only dream, my only memory, my only feeling and an everlasting today!”

“Todo impulso que empenhamos em sufocar incuba no nosso espírito e nos envenena. Peque o corpo uma vez e estará livre do pecado, porque a ação tem um dom purificador. Nada restará então, salvo a lembrança de um prazer, ou a volúpia de um arrependimento. A única maneira de se livrar de uma tentação é ceder a ela. Se resistimos, nossa alma adoecerá de desejo do que proibimos a nós mesmos, do que as suas leis monstruosas tornaram monstruoso e ilegítimo. Tem-se dito que os grandes acontecimentos do mundo ocorrem no cérebro. Também é no cérebro, e só nele, que ocorrem os grandes pecados do mundo.”
