"To my everything, He is nothing. What I am I wish to be, and what I wish to be I am. I am beyond God. I am the motionless cause. Cross that firebreak, and then cross that one. Go too far in all directions. Extremity upon extremity, and then more extremity, and then more."

Superzorro
Es oficial: el Festival de Cine de Londres abrira sus puertas este ano con la proyeccion de la primera pelicula animada de Wes Anderson (The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums)The Fastastic Mr.Fox. Basada en el libro del mismo nombre de Roald Dahl, me ha puesto nerviosa, nostalgica.
Alguno de ustedes se acuerda de El Superzorro?? Pues eso. En la misma coleccion que aquel otro fantastico libro, 'Ben quiere Ana'. Por alguna razon, estas son dos de las historias (de entre las miles y miles que lei mientras crecia)que mas claramente recuerdo.
Hasta los dibujos emergen completamente nitidos en mi mente, y el sudor pasado cuando Superzorro se encontraba atrapado en el tunel, el miedo a salir afuera en la fria noche por temor a ser disparado por el granjero...mi madre gritando "Apaga la luuuuzzz de una vez!!!"
Y yo sacando la linterna, dejandome la vista debajo de las sabanas, muerta de sueno un dia si y otro tambien por las mananas.
Yo no se si quiero. Wes Anderson no me convence, como escritor o cineasta, y mi Superzorro supone demasiados recuerdos para estropearlo poniendole camisa y corbata.
Alfaguara, eso era.

"Los que hemos viajado mucho y amado mucho; los que hemos...no dire sufrido, pues a traves del sufrimiento hemos alcanzado siempre la autonomia, solo nosotros apreciamos el complejo mundo de la ternura, y comprendemos el estrecho vinculo que existe entre el amor y la amistad."

Piedritas
Que hacer con las imagenes que asaltan.
Dunas, sudor, esa rama invocando otras ramas, lejos, lejos.
Sobresaltarse en cualquier momento ante un minarete, un momento de realizacion, una tristeza insacudible.
Quisiera quitarme el corazon un rato, sacudirle las piedritas y ponermelo de nuevo.
Still a Fly

If You Forget Me
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine
Pablo Neruda
That day she could not find the link.
She thought, 'he's moved on, after all'.
And how could she blame him,
for he was sweetness and giving,
and all she had been was...elusiveness.
