“All that love, all that pain, all the stuff people feel – not just me and you, brother, but everyone, everyone who's ever walked this beautiful green planet – how can all that disappear when somebody dies?

“Nunca abandonei aquele poeta, ainda o visito no parque. Não sei quantas pessoas ainda visitam os seus poetas abandonados, mas se procurarem bem, há muitos parques cheios deles, dentro e fora de nós. O meu, que comprei quando tinha treze ou catorze anos, ainda o visito. Sentamo-nos os dois e dizemos inutilidades. Algumas dessas inutilidades até são poemas. Ele olha para mim com lágrimas nos olhos (deixei de contabilizar estas coisas), eu fico com uma metáfora na garganta, abraço-o, e somos felizes durante uns segundos, ou melhor, durante eternidades.”
