A story a day to chase the blues away #25

“O Anel”, Karen Blixen, Dinamarca, 1958

Karen Blixen é prodigiosa a criar atmosfera e pequenas histórias cheias de significado, com o seu quê de fábula, sem ser moralista.
Em “O Anel”, é com tristeza que vemos como a felicidade é fugaz, como basta um instante para se perder a inocência e nada ser como antes.

Caminhando assim sentiu uma grande felicidade, uma felicidade nova, em estar assim completamente só, sem o Bijou sequer. À sua volta a paisagem quieta era toda uma promessa, e pertencia-lhe. Até as andorinhas que cruzavam os ares lhe pertenciam, porque pertenciam ao marido e o marido pertencia-lhe.

Med få ord, og uden at berøre emnet direkte, siger Blixen uendelig meget. Om ægteskabet, det private rum, hemmeligheder, troskab, ensomhed, hellig natur, seksuelt sitrende møde, samfundslag og samfundssind.
