Nothing Gold Can Stay – Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.


Is there any need to say something about this?

10 COMMANDMENTS

1 – I am the Lord your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me.
2 – You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
3 – Remember to keep holy the Lord’s Day
4 – Honour your father and your mother
5 – You shall not kill
6 – You shall not commit adultery
7 – You shall not steal
8 – You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
9 – You shall not covert your neighbor’s wife
10 – You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods

Please, not take me as a fanatic. I just wanted to put commandments here because I think they’re beautiful, however, I guess we can reduce them to just one law: LOVE. If people could do this, world would be different. So, I love you, it doesn’t matter who you are, you are already a part of me, ‘cause in this world we were made to share the view. Do you love me?

ANNABEL LEE - By Edgar Alan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

This is a famous poem by Edgar Alan Poe. Maybe, many others can be posted this text before me, but I don’t care about it. It’s a so perfect masterpiece, that it deserves to be always reminded! This guy is one of my idols; his love for his wife was a high and noble feeling. He was a real poet, he had a life of a poet, and he even died as an artist. He had a tragic, but dramatic end. I really like art, maybe more than anything else in the world, that’s why a admire him. He knew how to make sunshine more beautiful, and bring magic to our lives. And this is what we need: more magic in everything. Life is in itself a miracle! The most unbelievable one, however, it is real.

Linkin Park - Leave Out All the Rest - A so beautiful song...

I dreamed I was missing.
You were so scared,
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else care.

After my dreaming,
I woke with this fear.
What am I leaving,
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
And, don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Don't be afraid
Of taking my beating.
I've shared what I'd made.

I'm strong on the surface,
Not all the way through.
I've never been perfect,
But neither have you.

So if you're asking me,
I want you to know:

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
Don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Forgetting,
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well.

Pretending,
Someone else can come
And save me from myself.
I can't be who you are.

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done,
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed.
Don't resent me,
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest...

Forgetting,
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well.

Pretending,
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can't be who you are...
I can't be who you are.

Hang On Sloopy

"Hang On Sloopy" is a song by the pop group The McCoys which was #1 in America in October 1965 and is the official rock song of the state of Ohio and The Ohio State University. It was written by Wes Farrell and Bert Russell and is named for singer Dorothy Sloop (1913-1998), who used the name "Sloopy" on stage.[1]
The song was originally titled "My Girl Sloopy" and was first recorded by The Vibrations in 1964 on Atlantic Records (45-2222), becoming a top thirty hit. It was the title track of a live 1965 recording (released on Rhapsody in 1966) by the Ramsey Lewis Trio which earned a gold record. It has also been recorded by Arseno Rodriguez (Bang 1966), The Supremes (Motown 1966), The Kingsmen (WAND 1966), Little Caesar and the Consuls, The Yardbirds, Saving Jane, Jan & Dean (Liberty-LP "Folk'n'Roll" 1965) and Die Toten Hosen (2002). It has also been performed by Johnny Thunders and the Oddballs in a medley with "Louie Louie" and can be heard on the "Add Water and Stir" live Japan bootleg.
This is a reverance for a very important song in my life. Someday I’ll explain why I like it, or maybe not. (laughs)

ABSTRACT

The question of the subject constitution is inescapable not only for the linguistics, but also in general human sciences. This thesis, for the purpose of supplying elements for the rethought of the own roll of the science and of the intellectual in the new configuration of knowledge faced in the last century, wants to discuss, bringing back the discussion made by Bakthin in Toward a Philosophy of the Act, the ethics and the question of the truth, performing paths and various dialogues, under several perspectives and points of view. In the first chapters the question of the truth is discussed. In Chapter 1, the narrative of our path, of the first texts, questionings and contacts are initiated, which lead to the object of study delimitation in that – and only in that – way. In the second chapter, the paradigm changes which come from studies in the physics field are discussed, enlightened by contributions of intellectuals such as Edgar Morin, Boaventura de Sousa Santos and Ilya Prigogine, and its possible implications to the theory of knowledge. In the third chapter, the own existence of a single and indubitable reality is questioned, opening the way to objections to the language theories as representations of the reality and the truth as correspondence. In this context, as shown, a science of universals and a essential ontologisms subject lose place, thereafter being severely criticized, and the existence of the own reality as we know it loses place in the same way. In the fourth Chapter, we come closer to the text Toward a Philosophy of the Act (Bakhtin, 1993 [1919-1921]) and discuss, enlightened by the reflection of the previous chapters, the bakhtinians conceptions of Istina and Pravda and their implications and contributions for a deep ethic discussion and for a broader debate in the fields of the Philosophy of science and the Theory of Knowledge. From that perspective, in Chapter 5, the purpose of the discussion is referred again to Žižek and Lacan through the paths of real ethics and psychoanalysis. The main discussion is
about the studies which claim an unconditional autonomy of the subject, an acceptation that, as human beings, we are responsible, in a last analysis, for our acts and our being-inthe- world. In the final part of the project, the bakhtinian perspective, as disscussed in this text, is revised enlighted by the biology of the love (Maturana, 1998), since the first one presents the conditions and the demands for the dialogue exercise and the second one makes explicit the importance of being put under the regency of the principle of love if we want to dialogue effectively. Therefore a discussion is proposed so that it allows contributions to the construction of a society which can be called effectively democratic, as love implies decentralization, the opening to others, or, in the words of Edgar Morin, “it does not consist only of projecting our truth to others” or perceive it exclusively according to our eyes, but it consists of letting us being “contaminated” by its truth” (Morin,1998),.
