Aleksandra Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Hello Joao, I like this poem how it starts, but on the end I just got confused. The last two line goes in different way on this poem. So simply I can't understand and find the real sense. Bw I like to read Sartre poetry. It have a spirit inside. Thank you for sharing Aleksandra Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia
goldenlangur Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Hello JT Parreira, Aleksandra is right - your poem begins with a chance encounter in a book shop and a mention of the French existentialist Satre, and ends with a mention of his book Nausea. There is definitely a pun here but one wonders if its a little too elusive for the reader to engage with? Just an opinion. I look forward to your view on what you think about our reading - perhaps mine is off the mark! goldenlangur Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying.
