Adolfo Best Maugard, by Diego Rivera, 1913.

Do you remember when we first met? I thought I had wandered into a dream.  J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring


¿Recuerdas cuándo nos conocimos? Pensé que había vagado en un sueño.

Saudade.

(n.) This untranslatable Portuguese term refers to the melancholic a deep, nostalgic, and  longing for something or someone, often accompanied with denied fact that what one longs for will never come back “The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both  And be one traveler, long I stood  And looked down one as far as I could  To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,  And having perhaps the better claim,  Because it was grassy and wanted wear;  Though as for that the passing there  Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay  In leaves no step had trodden black.  Oh, I kept the first for another day!  Yet knowing how way leads on to way,  I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh  Somewhere ages and ages hence:  Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—  I took the one less traveled by,  And that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”

— Robert Frost
