e porque estamos quase em Novembro

Sócrates era um símbolo de cepticismo em relação à religão tradicional, e os atenienses condenaram-no à morte por isso. Mas Hegel lembrou-nos que a última coisa que ele fez antes de morrer foi oferecer um galo em sacrifício ao deus Esculápio.

Your love is like a chunk of gold
Hard to get and hard to hold
Like a rose that’s soft to touch
Love has thorns, they hurt so much

Oh why, why
Must the same love made me laugh make me cry ?

Well, you think of love as sitting on a mountain
You think of it being a great big rock
Won’t you think before you start rolling down
Because once you start, you can’t make a stop

I’ve given all that I’ve got to give
And if you don’t want me, I don’t want to live

So why, why
Must the same love made me laugh make me cry ?
Must the same love made me laugh make me cry ?
Must the same love made me laugh make me cry ?

isto é Sufjan Stevens

estou constantemente a cantarolar este excerto

“if I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes”

“el sueño de la razon produce monstruos”

 

Francisco Goya, 1797
