“Knowledge of each other,
not of the flesh but through the flesh,
knowledge of self,
the real him,
the real her,
in extremis,
the mask slipped from the face…”
Stoppard, T.  inThe Real Thing (1982)


a solidão de dois numa mesa.
a solidão de dois numa cama.
a solidão de dois, quando um só deles ama.
Gallego, V.


what keeps my heart awake is colourful silence.
Monet, C. (1840-1926)
