“Aquela era uma noite de arrependimentos. Reclinada no banco do carro, a cabeça pendente para o lado do vidro entreaberto, a cheirar a vómito e a sentir-se mais para lá do que para cá, Anabela só queria chegar a casa e deslizar para o vale dos lençóis envolta num pijama de flanela. Pegou no telemóvel e ligou a quem lhe pudesse valer. A operadora atendeu logo, relembrou que a linha era apenas para emergências e transferiu a chamada, quase sem dar tempo a Anabela, ocupada que estava em suprimir um arroto amargo, de lhe agradecer. – Boa noite, fala o piquete – disse uma voz masculina num tom neutro. – Ai, a minha cabeça... boa noite. Depois de uns segundos de silêncio, a voz do outro lado, mantendo o tom: – Fala o agente Nogueira, o piquete da noite. Posso ajudar? – Err, não está por aí uma senhora, hmm, uma senhora agente, por acaso? – Não. – Ah pois, é que, sabe... fui jantar fora e já não o fazia há muito tempo, e... – Uma náusea fê-la parar. Passou a mão pela testa, que estava quente, e sentiu o peganhento do óleo do stripper, um cheiro enjoativo adocicado, que a fez limpar as mãos à bainha do vestido.”

“Ah, fish, there is no fare Quite like a flounder! They surely will not miss A piece or two from stacks of sole like this; I'll steal a few, but leave the lion's share. Look! the lamplight on the lane is pretty They're back from walking out on Dover Beach. I think I'll hide and spare myselpf the speech, For we are in a world untouched by pity Where ignorant humans curse the kitty." (From Dover Sole)”

“When critics like Matthew Arnold, for example, suggest that his poetry is deficient in elaborate thought, they only prove, as Matthew Arnold proved, that they themselves could never be great poets. It is no valid accusation against a poet that the sentiment he expresses is commonplace. Poetry is always commonplace; it is vulgar in the noblest sense of that noble word. Unless a man can make the same kind of ringing appeal to absolute and admitted sentiments that is made by a popular orator, he has lost touch with emotional literature. Unless he is to some extent a demagogue, he cannot be a poet. A man who expresses in poetry new and strange and undiscovered emotions is not a poet; he is a brain specialist. Tennyson can never be discredited before any serious tribunal of criticism because the sentiments and thoughts to which he dedicates himself are those sentiments and thoughts which occur to anyone. These are the peculiar province of poetry; poetry, like religion, is always a democratic thing, even if it pretends the contrary.”
