beautiful lines and wise words
current song: wala
current mood: bouncy
currently reading: reader ko sa literature 102
ang mga salitang ito ang nagmula sa iba't-ibang kwnto na aming nabasa sa lit102 (Philippine Literature). eto yung mga hindi ko makakalimutang stuff na natutunan ko mula kay prof. ferdinand lopez hehe. epekto 'to ng walang magawa pag bakasyon, nagaaral na lang ulit haha
from Las Ruinas del Corazon
But before she did, she asked the poets to record these moments
in song, and the architects to carve the song in marble,
and the marble to be selected from the most secret veins
of the earth and placed where no man could see it,
because that is the nature of love, because one walks alone
through the ruins of the heart, because the young must sleep
with their eyes open, because the angels tremble
from so much beauty, because memory moves in orbits
of absence, because she holds her hands out in the rain,
and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself.
from Dead Stars (Paz Marquez-Benitez)
--Why would men so mismanage their lives? Greed, he thought, was what ruined so many. Greed-- the desire to crowd into a moment all the enjoyment it will hold, to squeeze from the hour all the emotion it will yield. Men commit themselves when but half meaning to do so, sacrificing possible future fullness of ecstasy to the craving for immediate excitement.
--"I supposed long-engaged people are like that; warm now, cool tomorrow"
--"If a man were married, why, of course, he loved his wife; if he were engaged, he could not possibly love another woman."
--"Julita," he said in his slow, thoughtful manner, "did you ever have to choose between something you wanted to do and something you had to do?"
bakit ba kasi kelangan mag-act ang tao na iniisip kung ano ang ssbihin ng iba, khit taliwas pa yun sa gusto talaga nila. ang lungkot tuloy. talking about social conventions. wtf. naalala ko, tinanong pa ko nung prof ko kung nagaagree dw ba ko kung ang mga lalake ay greedy, ang sgot ko- depende hahaha
dead stars is one of the saddest story i've ever read so far. disapponting, so, if I may say. subukan nyong basahin, hanapin nyo na lang kay kaibigang google.
from Gabu (Carlos Angeles)
The vital splendor misses. For here, here
At Gabu where the ageless tide recurs
All things forfeited are most loved and dear.
It is the sea pursues a habit of shores.
--wow to, sbi ni prof. lopez, bihira daw ang lit prof na nagtuturo ng poem na to dahil hindi nila naiintindihan haha, isipin mo, 4 stanzas halos 1 hr naming diniscuss. pero it's all worth it. sabi nya, according to the theory of existentialism, man, by his very nature, is self-destructive and he sees this as the reason why we tend to hurt the people whom we love the most. sbi nga, "All things forfeited are most loved and dear", "all thing most loved and dear are forfeited.."
nakakalungkot hehe
yun lang. summer na
