Glad I skipped the introduction and only read it afterwards, it's terrible.

The novel itself? Brilliant. The beautiful ending moved me to big fat ugly tears.

Livros como este fazem a vida valer a pena.

Gostava muito de escrever sobre este livro, mas faltam-me as palavras. Quem sabe um dia consiga pôr por escrito o turbilhão de pensamentos e emoções que esta obra me causou.

Esta estação do ano podes vê-la
em mim: folhas caindo ou já caídas;
ramos que o frémito do frio gela;
árvore em ruína, aves despedidas.
E podes ver em mim, crepuscular,
o dia que se extingue sobre o poente,
com a noite sem astros a anunciar
o repouso da morte, gradualmente.
Ou podes ver o lume extraordinário,
morrendo do que vive: a claridade,
deitado sobre o leito mortuário
que é a cinza da sua mocidade.
Eis o que torna o amor mais forte:
amar quem está tão próximo da morte.
