Nuestras vidas son los ríos
que van a dar en la mar,
qu 'es el morir
Our lives are rivers, gliding free
to that unfathomed, boundless sea,
the silent grave!
Jorge Manrique
Nous sommes tous de lopins et d'une contexture si
informe et diverse, que chaque piece, chaque momant,
faict son jeu. Et se trouve autant de difference de nous à
nous mesmes, que de nous à autruy.
We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in
composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own
game. And there is as much difference between us and
ourselves as between us and others.
Michel de Montaigne, Essais, Second Book, 1
Cada um de nós é vários, é muitos, é uma prolixidade
de si mesmos. Por isso aquele que despreza o ambiente
n?o é o mesmo que dele se alegra ou padece. Na vasta
colónia do nosso ser há gente de muitas espécies,
pensando e sentindo diferentemente.
Each of us is several, is many, is a profusion of selves.
So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same
as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast
colony of our being there are many species of people
who think and feel in different ways.
Fernando Pessoa, Livro Do Desassossego
