y quien diga que todo fuego se apaga solo tarde o temprano, se equivoca: hay pasiones que son incendios hasta que las ahoga el destino de un zarpazo y aun asi quedan brasas calientes listas para arder apenas se les da oxigeno.

En la dimension del cosmos y en el trayecto de la historia somos insignificantes, despues de nuestra muerte todo sigue igual, como si jamas hubieramos existido, en la medida de nuestra precaria humanidad tu, Paula, eres para mi mas importante que mi propia vida y que la suma de casi todas las vidas ajenas.

Comer solo, dormir solo, morir solo. Contar con una companera, como Lucia habia sugerido, ?como seria? Cocinar para ella, esperarla por las tardes, andar con ella de la mano, dormir abrazados, contarle sus pensamientos, escribirle poemas... Alguien como Lucia. Era una mujer madura, solida, inteligente, de risa facil, sabia porque habia sufrido, pero no se aferraba al sufrimiento, como el, y ademas, bonita. Pero era atrevida y mandona. Una m..

His house of cards had collapsed, and he lay among the ruins--but he was free. He felt euphoric, weightless, years younger. The only thing he missed was Indiana, but she too belonged to the past; she too had been carried off by the wind.

Salvo excepciones, los ninos suelen ser un poco sosos. Ademas, carecen de poder, los adultos deciden por ellos y lo hacen mal, les inculcan sus propias ideas erroneas sobre la realidad y despues los crios pasan el resto de sus vidas tratando de librarse de ellas.

Melesio tweezed his facial hairs, then ran ether-soaked cotton over his face, so his skin was the texture of silk; he took pains with his long-fingered, slender hands, and every night brushed his hair one hundred times. He was tall, with strong bones, but he moved with such delicacy that he gave the impression of being fragile. He never talked about his family and it would be years later, during his time in the penal colony on Santa Maria, ..

The Indians' insistence on clinging to their customs had to be the work of Satan there was no other explanation which is why the friars went out to hunt down and lasso the deserters and then whipped their doctrine of love and forgiveness into them.

Mi nieto corria delante con los pies para los lados y moviendo los brazos como un pato. Nos acercamos al arroyo, tumultuoso en invierno, donde habiamos esparcido tus cenizas. Lo reconocio al punto. -Paula estaba enferma ayer-dijo; para el todo pasado era ayer. -Si. Se murio. -?Quien la mato? -No es como en la television, Alejandro, a veces la gente se enferma y se muere, asi no mas. -Adonde van los muertos? -No se exactamente. -Ella se fue ..

queria estirar las manos a traves de la mesa y tocarlo, acercarse, hundir la nariz en su cuello y comprobar que todavia olia a tierra y hierbas, decirle que sin el vivia sonambula, que nada ni nadie podia llenar el vacio terrible de su ausencia, que daria todo por volver a estar desnuda en sus brazos, nada importaba sino el.

Con Ichimei descubrio las multiples sutilezas del amor y del placer, desde la pasion desenfrenada y urgente, hasta esos momentos sagrados en que la emocion los elevaba y se quedaban inmoviles, tendidos frente a frente en la cama, mirandose a los ojos largamente, agradecidos de su suerte, humildes por haber tocado lo mas hondo de sus almas, purificados por haberse desprendido de todo artificio y yacer juntos totalmente
