One art (Elizabeth Bishop)
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Você conheceu essa poesia no filme "In her shoes"? É muito lindinho. Eu li o livro primeiro e não sei dizer se me emocionei mais ao ler o poema ali ou quando vi a Cameron Diaz recitá-lo no filme...
Droga, sempre me pegam aqui.. Conheço esse poema do filme mesmo, é realmente lindo...
hahaha
Mas é muito lindo, independente de onde você o encontrou. De emocionar mesmo.
Boa semana pra vc.
