Recordo o jovem que não regressou
P´lo seu império querer dilatar…
O ferro, fogo, desgraça, seu sonho legou,
Sendo mui nobre aquela morte a lutar!
Tamanha bravura e glória jamais deixou,
Em tantos séculos de ao mundo mostrar,
Quão este povo de heróis, ano após ano
Bem alto elevaria o peito ilustre lusitano!”

Os sessenta anos de amargura
Recorda nossa pátria subjugada…

A nobreza de valentia mui calada!
Do Alentejo grande bravura,
Seria de imediato neutralizada
Mas em mil seiscentos e quarenta
Outro valor mais alto se alevanta!”

A todos aliviou o coração!”

Triste quadro físico e mental!...”

Procurando sonhar o País,
Qual guerra havi´arruinado;

Pela vontade não foi afronta,
Mas tal gesto vileza de monta!”

Usa as ideias qual rochedo!”

Em suma à política consistia
Ao País bastar-se a si próprio
Produzindo aquilo que consumia,
Era vantajoso e laudatório!
Criando factos que não havia,
Evita fazer lá fora peditório!
Costume… Oh! Deus misericordioso!
Ainda hoje, tão mais vergonhoso!”

De ir o País no bom caminho…
Do Brasil cheg´a força emotiva

Do Restelo, muitos viram largar…
Tantos que foram pr´a não mais voltar!...”

“Xs were used because there was no mass literacy - a state we are rapidly approaching once more.”
“xThe cause of most stress can be summed up by the word attachment. Self 1 gets so dependent upon things, situations, people and concepts within its experience that when change occurs or seems about to occur, it feels threatened. Freedom from stress does not necessarily involve giving up anything, but rather being able to let go of anything, when necessary, and know that one will still be all right. It comes from being more independent—not necessarily more solitary, but more reliant on one’s own inner resources for stability.”

“Xu Xilin said sincerely, 'If you kill me, it'll just change to past tense--I loved him when I was alive.”
Source: 过门 - Guomen
“Xuan and I had decided to take a trip together in honor of our one-thousand-day anniversary. We ate Korean barbecue, shared a decadent cake, and then drove three and a half hours to Yosemite. I’d never heard of such an occasion. But in Seoul, where Ji-Hoon was born and raised, there was almost a monthly holiday devoted to romance. We wore similar out- fits, which Xuan said was common for couples in Asian countries. Three years was a big deal, especially when we didn’t know how many more we’d have.”
Source: Fated to Love You
“Xuan being there didn’t make any sense. This wasn’t a fairy tale. Handsome boys don’t just magically appear screaming your name the moment you need them.”
“Xuan pulled out his phone and searched Google. He had to ask for the correct spelling of the drug. He wanted more real information about how much of a financial burden he would be to his parents. Money was a big concern. Possibly a deal breaker.
“Several sites—it’s around five hundred dollars a day! That’s fifteen thousand a month! How could I let my parents pay that much for me?”
Fifteen thousand dollars. I gasped, appalled. I staggered to the chair and collapsed into it. He’ll never agree to that.
Xuan opened his mouth and closed it again, in shock. The atmosphere in the room plunged from friendly and informative to frigid with mathematical figures and calculations.
I sat with my elbows on my knees, my face buried in my hands. Saints, I knew cancer treatment was expensive, but I never imagined it was that expensive. That was too much. Ironically, I didn’t know if I could live with myself, knowing my parents were working day and night to keep me alive. That would be a huge financial responsibility. I just couldn’t imagine allowing it, month after month. Sadly, I wondered how many people died every year because of the cost of medication in the United States. In a way, it seemed like pharmaceutical companies were getting away with murder.”
Source: Fated to Love You
“Xuan smiled at the thought of men sleeping peacefully next to those they would try to kill in daylight. Only humanity could have conceived such a strange and artificial way to die. Wolves might tear the flesh of deer, but they never slept and dreamed near their quarry.”

“XV
Foi na campina de Alcácer-Quibir…
Perante o incrédulo olhar de Marte
Que o moço seu sonho viu ruir
Sem saber usar tanta força e arte!
Quã vitória estava ali, sem fugir…,
“ Ter! Ter! ”, soava por toda a parte,
Girando o sonho em desventura
Cavando aos nossos nobre sepultura.”

“XVI
Generoso, altivo, de belo porte…
Revelando decisão, que põe em uso,
Quis o destino que sua honrosa morte
Acabasse por dar ao vizinho intruso,
O caminho desta Pátria sem norte
Entregando-lhe o nobre povo luso!
Deuses irados castigavam ambição
Ferindo nossa sublime geração.”
Source: Esta é a Ditosa Pátria Minha Amada
“XVI
It is true, as someone has said, that in
A world without heaven all is farewell.
Whether you wave your hand or not,
It is farewell, and if no tears come to your eyes
It is still farewell, and if you pretend not to notice,
Hating what passes, it is still farewell.
Farewell no matter what. And the palms as they lean
Over the green, bright lagoon, and the pelicans
Diving, and the glistening bodies of bathers resting,
Are stages in an ultimate stillness, and the movement
Of sand, and of wind, and the secret moves of the body
Are part of the same, a simplicity that turns being
Into an occasion for mourning, or into an occasion
Worth celebrating, for what else does one do,
Feeling the weight of the pelicans' wings,
The density of the palms' shadows, the cells that darken
The backs of bathers? These are beyond the distortions
Of change, beyond the evasions of music. The end
Is enacted again and again. And we feel it
In the temptations of sleep, in the moon's ripening,
In the wine as it waits in the glass.”

“XVII
Enquanto temor sobe, sua e atiça
O povo clama p´lo seu desejado…
Vago trono é motivo de cobiça,
Mui impostor quer seu reinado…
Encobrindo a verdade à justiça,
De seu nome, p´lo mundo ignorado!...
Foram muitos, tantos aventureiros,
Nada que os tornasse verdadeiros!”

“XVII Lady, i will touch you with my mind. Touch you and touch and touch until you give me suddenly a smile,shyly obscene (lady i will touch you with my mind.)Touch you,that is all, lightly and you utterly will become with infinite care the poem which i do not write.”

“XVIII
Longa, majestosa crise é forçada…
E tanta hesitação, tanta confusão!
Com os ventos da morte, condenada,
Esta terra é terramoto de invasão.
Mas como a fortuna nos é dada,
P´lo sofrimento mais que p´la razão
Quem derrama amarga fama irosa
Às novas gentes mais torna honrosa.”

“XX
Como outrora se alevantara,
Contra a fama e as vitórias
Que a musa antiga cantara!...
O gigante chama a si as memórias
Cujos feitos ao Mundo espantara,
Por suas longas tormentas e glórias!
Gigante que outro gigante vencera…
No tormentório em que tanto sofrera!”

Derramando durante tantos anos
O sangue, a alma; tanto sofreram…
Anos de traição e grandes danos
A que o Prior e outros se opuseram.
No fim, de Sebastião e seus planos…
Tudo morreu. Não mais se lembraram!
Era tal a mudança e a situação…
O ânimo volta a inflamar o coração!...”

Uma nova dinastia se inicia…
P´la sucessão não ser cuidada.
Tantos valores, e razão se perdia,
Na mão da astúcia demonstrada!
O vento trazia a falsa acalmia…
Perante a ruína ora declarada!
O desastre… o Céu nos concedera
Porque nossa honra não conhecera!”

“XXIII
Tanta, mas tanta, a fama que havia,
Até à Índia, Macau e Nagasaqui;
Esta última que outra fama teria…
De portugueses nasceria… ali…
A cidade que tanto sofreria…
Crueldade humana que jamais vi!
Não! Deuses não podem ter sonhado!
Decerto, aos Lusos não teriam guiado!”

“XXIV
Se recordo tão dantesca visão…
Não faço por sua fera grandeza,
Nem a defender glória e razão!
Mas p´ra ao Mundo dar a certeza
Que vitória é sempre uma ilusão
Quando justiça é filha da fraqueza!
Foi tão soberba a barbaridade
Como nua é a morte sem dignidade!”
