THE JEWISH MOTHER STRIKES AGAIN
If a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around, does it make any noise?
Why am I asking that? Because lately I feel like our blog is a tree falling silently over dead foliage. NOBODY writes any comments! And yet I know you guys must be out there - our visitor's counter says that we get an average of 20 readers a day!
I am discouraged... Tom, a workaholic, is that rare kind: the man who will write even if nobody reads. He will write for himself, if necessary. I have often heard that this is the mark of the true artist: he needs to do whatever he does, even if there is no response from the audience.
I guess I am not a true artist. I need the approval of an audience, no matter how small! But you, my friends, have completely abandoned us. So, in protest, I will only post again if somebody posts a comment. A single comment, come on!

Olhos Tristes

Olhos mais tristes ainda do que os meus
são esses olhos com que o olhar me fitas.
Tenho a impressão que vai dizer adeus
este olhar de renúncias infinitas.

Todos os sonhos que se fazem seus,
tomam logo a expressão de almas aflitas.
E até que, um dia, chegue à mão de Deus,
será o olhar de todas as desditas.

Assim parado a olhar-me, quase extinto,
este olhar que, de noite, é como o luar,
vem da distância, bêbado de absinto...

Este olhar, que me enleva e que me assombra,
vive curvado sobre o meu olhar
como um cipreste sobre a própria sombra.

Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.

MY HEART IS BROKEN

In case you have been wondering where have I been (have you?), my apologies. I haven't abandoned Mostly Music (yet!). It is just that my children are leaving for Goiania this next week , and I want to use every single minute I have to be with them. I promise to return....
