Beatriz’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas

Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis

1 note & 4 highlights

A dor suspendeu por um pouco as tenazes; um sorriso alumiou o rosto da enferma, sobre o qual a morte batia a asa eterna.

Northanger Abbey

by Jane Austen

“I've got two knives that are cast in bronze/ they pierce all the way to the soul/ they draw you in with the promise of sin/ like the moth to the flame to the coal

I've got hair like the starless night / it sticks to my lips when I smile / I'll wind it with yours and we'll drift of course/ in a ship touching hearts all the while

For they way I walk is a lantern lit/ that leads you into the night/ I'll hold you close and love you the most/ until our end is in sight”
― F.C. Yee, The Rise of Kyoshi
