Matei uma ilusão: foi em legítima defesa





Podemos morrer, apenas na imprensa...




... mas, não deixa de ser um fenómeno raro, após a morte noticiosa, a ressurreição. A comunicação social mata: definitivamente.

La mort ne fait jamais mal. La mort est douce... Ce qui fait souffrir avec certains poisons, certaines blessures maladroites, c’est la vie. C’est le reste de vie. Il faut se confier franchement a' la mort comme une amie




William Holden, em Sunset Boulevard, de Billy Wilder

Oblívio



Michael Henchard’s Will


That Elizabeth-Jane Farfrae be not told of my
death, or made to grieve on account of me.
& that I be not bury’d in consecrated ground.
& that no sexton be asked to toll the bell.
& that nobody is wished to see my dead body.
& that no murners walk behind me at my
funeral.
& that no flours be planted on my grave.
& that no man remember me.
To this I put my name.


MICHAEL HENCHARD
