Quanto mais evolui a tecnologia,

mais aprecio sentir o papel entre os dedos.

Very few can endure the rigours of idleness, and for most it is best not to try. A life spent running away from oneself slips by more easily than one passed in one's own company. Wanting to be always disturbed, then, is not so obviously crazy. There is wisdom in submitting to wearisome labour and working for causes that come to nothing. Those who pursue the life of action do so (...) because the alternative - being aware of what they are - is far more disturbing.

A Minha Homenagem A.

Suddenly I look at the sky
And picture you
In a backyard or a pateo
My pateo, a firecracker memory in motion.
Your shadow on the wall
The sound of your feet against the concrete
A sweet summer smell
A sigh and a look, more like a stare.
As we meet
Our eyes, they compel to enlightenment
The way you smile
My smile
The unspeakable compelling us
How awkward and lovely.

Course Title: Art and Economics in the Bloomsbury Group

Instructors: Dr. Barry Falk (Professor of Economics) and Dr. Maureen Shanahan (Associate Professor of Art History)

Some features of the Bloomsbury Group that are most attractive and intriguing are (1) the remarkable amount of intellectual firepower that they could muster collectively; (2) the general commitment of most of them to revolutionary change in the various areas that they represented - art, economics, fiction, ethics, biography, criticism, history, political philosophy, psychology, esthetics; (3) the attention members paid to the thoughts of others in the Group and the inclusion of the ideas of the others in their own work; (4) their candor with others and with themselves; (5) their sense of fun and joie de vivre, combined with (6) their commitment to hard work (on whatever they were engaged)and improvement of human welfare.
