Family Portrait by Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Yes, this family portrait is a little dusty. The father’s face doesn’t show how much money he earned. The uncles’ hands don’t reveal the voyages both of them made. The grandmother’s smoothed and yellowed; she’s forgotten the monarchy. The children, how they’ve changed. Peter’s face is tranquil, that wore the best dreams. And John’s no longer a...

She was happy
I have learned only how much more
there is to learn
and I am really astonished
at the vastness of the world
around me.
I have rejected all conventions,
the opinion of my parents,
its laws.
I don’t feel obliged to play a social role.

My father writes me a beautiful letter
“Your letter, your beautiful letter, and the reading of your child diary (a marvelous gift) were for me not a revelation but a justification of the faith I had in you, my hopes and illusions for you, of my attachment to you, and this is the same period during which you mourned for me around a Christmas tree.
