Quotes
- Rafael Narvalhas quoted12 days ago
A river was here
and it had two banks
and a heavenly mother who nursed it on drops from the clouds
A small river moving slowly
descending from the mountain peaks
visiting villages and tents like a charming lively guest
bringing oleander trees and date palms to the valley
and laughing to the nocturnal revellers on its banks:
‘Drink the milk of the clouds
and water the horses
and fly to Jerusalem and Damascus’
Sometimes it sang heroically
at others passionately
It was a river with two banks
and a heavenly mother who nursed it on drops from the clouds
But they kidnapped its mother
so it ran short of water
and died, slowly, of thirst. - Rafael Narvalhas quoted14 days agoIf we were to listen intently to the sound of silence, we would talk less.
- Rafael Narvalhas quoted14 days agoSilence is a sound which has evaporated and disappeared in the wind and fragmented into echoes preserved in cosmic water jars.
