What Enchants in Provençal Poetry…
Luciano Duarte

What enchants in Provençal poetry and in medieval French fixed forms is above all the melodious sonority, which only occurs because there is an inalienable link with music in both, that is, it only occurs because the compositions, if not intended for singing, are always intended to be recited with musical accompaniment. So rhythm and melody must necessarily harmonize in them as a constructive requirement, having an effect, or rather, endowing the composition with the delicious quality that modern poetry has striven to strip away.

The Right to Disturb
Luciano Duarte

In Brazilian society, the right to disturb prevails over the right not to be disturbed, which is fundamental to peaceful coexistence in the civilized world. In the civilized world, anyone who disturbs immediately ceases to be reasonable and is condemned by common sense; in the Brazilian jungle, woe betide anyone who thinks he has the right not to suffer frequent disturbances! It is said that in Tokyo, what is most surprising is the silence that permeates the busy avenues, the muteness of the huge buildings, the noise that does not emanate from commerce. A Brazilian dog, in Tokyo, seems destine ..read more

Although It Is Undoubtedly Not Professional…

Although it is undoubtedly not professional or prudent to sit at a table and allow oneself to admire the hideous wonder of the white screen with the cursor flashing like a macabre chronometer, doing so sometimes proves curious, when the result is that the brain picks up the idea from an obscure corner of the mind, and then develops it in detail, without having prepared for it. Kardec asserts that this is a very natural metaphysical process which, although intelligible, once accepted calls into question the limits, identity and individual capacities of the being. So the question, which perhaps ..read more

What Often Goes Unnoticed
Luciano Duarte

What often goes unnoticed is that being is often nothing more than striving to be continuously, it is nothing more than manifesting the desire to be by the act, and by the same act making positive what is wanted. This enormous truth stands out and, because it is misunderstood, there are so many unsuccessful life projects, so many spirits who are lost waiting for a miracle that certainly does not happen without sweat and action.

The Great Moment of Fiction Reading
Luciano Duarte
by Luciano Duarte
1w ago
The great moment of fiction reading is when we perceive, in the individuality of the author and the work, the connection with the universal. It is great because it amplifies the sense of detail and demonstrates that the human drama is a shared drama. By noticing it, we become aware that neither time nor space alter this essential condition of being, responsible for the possibility of understanding between men; by noticing it, we become aware that the smallest thing, no matter how small, contains within itself a perennial and interchangeable significance.

Although Spiritism Has Certainly…

Although Spiritism has certainly not yet succeeded in convincing the world of the phenomena it documents and explains with a remarkable wealth of detail, the fact that it has presented the world with some of the most virtuous personalities that have set foot on this earth in the last two centuries is a guarantee that it will endure. If not for the originality of the doctrine, if not for the curious exposition of the extraordinary, it is by example that it has already earned its place among the most solid and interesting religions on the planet.

Daily Work, Motivated and Disciplined…
Luciano Duarte
by Luciano Duarte

Daily work, motivated and disciplined, really is a holy remedy, as many spirits have said for centuries. In addition to the therapeutic effect, the directing of attention towards a just goal dissipates all kinds of distractions and counterproductive thoughts. The result, although sometimes rewarding, when unsatisfactory is innocuous to the motivation that has already been rewarded in dedicating with sincerity and strengthening in dedication. Abstaining from work, therefore, is not only harmful to health, but also unwise from the point of view of pure and true satisfaction. Facebook Twitter Wha ..read more

The Phonic and Syntactic Richness of Portuguese
Luciano Duarte
by Luciano Duarte
2w ago
The phonic and syntactic richness of Portuguese, more than the nature of its people or the flair of its authors, places its poetry among the most remarkable in world literature. As a vehicle for expressing the primitive impulse represented by poetry, its possibilities are so varied and its effects so unique that, even when worked on by ordinary hands, it sometimes achieves results worthy of sincere admiration.

All Real Modern Problems…
Luciano Duarte
by Luciano Duarte
2w ago
All real modern problems, if not identical replicas of age-old problems, consist only of new nuances to problems whose debate has long been recorded in philosophy and whose consequences have been duly demonstrated by endless examples in history. Having both at disposal and rejecting them; wanting to come up with stupid solutions whose results have already been illustrated theoretically and practically, has to be classified, quite rightly, as an act of bad faith.

It Is Impressive to Note the Ever-Present Interest…
Luciano Duarte
by Luciano Duarte
2w ago
It is impressive to note the ever-present interest in contemporary literature, found even in authors who are aware that great literature is, by definition, timeless. To note that, while there are dozens of centuries that will not be absorbed, thousands of works that will not be read due to lack of time, interest in contemporary works still thrives, and contemporary works attract attention that the majority of secular works, already consecrated by the test of time, do not. How to explain why the opposite does not happen? How to explain that what is common is not an almost desperate desire to ab ..read more
