| 1eca8d9 | En el mundo hay gente que lee y gente que no lee. En el mundo hay gente que puede con todo y jamas abandona una lectura y hay gente que deja de leer un texto porque no le dice nada. Yo soy de los lectores que pertenecen a esta clase. Hoy he dejado de leer un libro de Pamuk, "El libro negro". Me cuesta renunciar a la lectura, me parece un desprecio a la literatura. Me paso con el "Ulises" de Joyce y casi me pasa lo mismo con "El jinete polac.. | pamuk pérez-reverte | Eugenio Fouz | |

| b644c86 | Every morning at dawn the village trembles with the rumbling of the wagons. They come in from everywhere, loaded with saltpeter, with corn, with hay. The wheels creak and creak, rattling the windows and waking up the village. That's the hour when the ovens are opened and the air smells of new-baked bread.Suddenly it thunders, perhaps, and the rain falls. perhaps spring is coming. You'll learn there what 'perhaps' means, my son... | Juan Rulfo | ||
| fa60b4b | Y se fue. >>Volvi yo. Volveria siempre. El mar moja mis tobillos y se va; moja mis rodillas, mis muslos: rodea mi cintura con su brazo suave, da vuelta sobre mis senos; se abraza de mi cuello; aprieta mis hombros. Entonces me hundo en el, entera. Me entrego a el en su fuerte batir, en su suave poseer, sin dejar pedazo. >>--Me gusta banarme en el mar --le dije. >>Pero el no lo comprende. >>Y al otro dia estaba otra vez en el mar, purificando.. | mar | Juan Rulfo | |
| 60c7912 | Dice que ella escondia sus pies entre las piernas de el. Sus pies helados como piedras frias y que alli se calentaban como en un horno donde se dora el pan. Dice que el le mordia los pies diciendole que eran como pan dorado en el horno. Que dormia acurrucada, metiendose dentro de el, perdida en la nada al sentir que se quebraba su carne, que se abria como un surco abierto por un clavo ardoroso, luego tibio, luego dulce, dando golpes duros c.. | cama muerte | Juan Rulfo | |

| 92237d7 | Alla hallaras mi querencia. El lugar que yo quise. Donde los suenos me enflaquecieron. Mi pueblo, levantado sobre la llanura. Lleno de arboles y de hojas, como una alcancia donde hemos guardado nuestros recuerdos. Sentiras que alli uno quisiera vivir para la eternidad. El amanecer; la manana; el mediodia y la noche, siempre los mismos; pero con la diferencia del aire. Alli, donde el aire cambia el color de las cosas; donde se ventila la vid.. | Juan Rulfo | ||
| 971afee | Hace mucho tiempo que te fuiste, Susana. La luz era igual entonces que ahora, no tan bermeja; pero era la misma pobre luz sin lumbre, envuelta en el pano blanco de la neblina que hay ahora. Era el mismo momento. Yo aqui, junto a la puerta mirando el amanecer y mirando cuando te ibas, siguiendo el camino del cielo; por donde el cielo comenzaba a abrirse en luces, alejandote, cada vez mas destenida entre las sombras de la tierra. >>Fue la ult.. | Juan Rulfo | ||

| 4e1f205 | Insani her bir tarafindan sikan, sanki topragi kanimizla islatacakmiscasina bizi paramparca ederek tozumuzu avuc avuc oraya buraya bosaltan bu dunya. Biz ne yaptik? Ruhumuz neden curudu bizim? Annen derdi ki, en azindan Tanri'nin merhametine sahibiz. Ve sen onu inkar ediyorsun, Susana. Baban oldugumu neden inkar ediyorsun?

| 8aff99f | I don't know... the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and... carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you... you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is. Oh right, that. Which could be aweful - not all the time.

| c5ece3e | A daunting example of the impact that the loose talk and heavy rhetoric of the Sixties had on policy can be seen in the way the black family--a time-bomb ticking ominously, and exploding with daily detonations--got pushed off the political agenda.

| 35ae541 | One of Donald's acquaintances had recently suddenly died at a Rotary Club luncheon, and I had said to him, 'It's not a bad way to go really. He was a good age and he died at his favourite pastime - eating!' 'I know a better way,' Donald had said. 'Oh? And what is that?' 'Shot in the back of the head, at ninety, by a jealous husband!' He had continued our slightly morbid discussion with, 'When I die, Jim, I would like to be buried at Southwo.. | Jim Wight | ||

| 917221d | Once upon a time, oh, it seems a long while ago now, I dreamed of a natural haven, of paradise winking down upon a tranquil blue sea. I had pictured friends and family at ease in my Garden of Eden, sharing, and at peace, a place where artists worked and lovers loved. But it had been a vague sketch, a dream without lines between the dots, until I met Michel. Then it began to gain wattage, to take on a shape, develop light and shade, rhythm, .. | Carol Drinkwater | ||

Taking my fate into my own hands, turning dreams into reality. And there is nothing more sacred or precious than that.

| 608e6b3 | Once released from her trading responsibilities, she descended to Cannes's famous seafront esplanade. Occasionally she dallied for a while, enjoying the sunshine while strolling the length of the Boulevard de la Croisette, or she might pause for un caffe espresso and a swift perusal of the announcements in the local daily newspaper, Nice Matin. More often than not, though, her habit was to walk purposefully in the direction of the new port .. | Carol Drinkwater | ||

Maar in het verloop van de tijd zal er steeds weer nieuwe schade ontstaan die hersteld moet worden, nieuwe wegen en omwegen die bewandeld moeten worden op de roetsjbaan van ons leven en ons gekwetste hart.
