gigantic
(source: wikipedia)
Bourdieu sees symbolic capital (e.g., prestige, honour, attention) as a crucial source of power. Symbolic capital is any species of capital that is perceived through socially inculcated classificatory schemes. When a holder of symbolic capital uses the power this confers against an agent who holds less, and seeks thereby to alter their actions, they exercise symbolic violence. We might see this when a daughter brings home a boyfriend considered unsuitable by her parents. She is met with disapproving looks and gestures, symbols which serve to convey the message that she will not be permitted to continue this relationship, but which never make this coercive fact explicit. People come to experience symbolic power and systems of meaning (culture) as legitimate. Hence, the daughter will often feel a duty to obey her parents' unspoken demand, regardless of her suitor's actual merits. *

*but... gigantic, gigantic, gigantic, a big big love!
** or maybe that "big big love" could be understood like symbolic capital too (?)

identity
the only thing that gives me the certainty that i'm still the same girl that was born in Buenos Aires -almost 50 years ago- is the fact that i keep the same name.*
* and morrissey says: "nothing' s changed/i still love you, oh, i still love you/...only slightly, only slightly less than i used to, my love "

siren
"She sighs because she feels that she will never find.
White men are like the natives: only men. They have the thinnest and clearer skin, but they are just that: only men. And she cannot love a man. She can love neither to a man who is only a man, nor to a fish that is only a fish."*
Manuel Mujica Lainez, La sirena

*sometimes i read some sentences and i think that they are so amazing that i read them over and over again, just to catch the magic and the rythm that they have inside

a lighthouse in the middle of a crowded city (in a country of the end of the world) wannabe*
*to be a lighthouse in the middle of the sea is just a game for kids (?)

When the world is reduced to a single dark wood
for our four eyes' astonishment,-- a beach for two
faithful children,-- a musical house
for one pure sympathy,-- I shall find you.
Should there be here below
but a single old man, handsome
and calm in the midst
of incredible luxury, I shall be at your feet.
Should I have realized all your memories,--
should I be the one who can bind you
hand and foot,-- I shall strangle you. *

*Quand le monde sera réduit en un seul bois noir
pour nos quatre yeux étonnés, — en une plage pour deux enfants fidèles, —
en une maison musicale pour notre claire sympathie, —
je vous trouverai.
Qu’il n’y ait ici-bas qu’un vieillard seul, calme et beau,
entouré d’un « luxe inouï », — et je suis à vos genoux.
Que j’aie réalisé tous vos souvenirs, — que je sois celle qui
sais vous garrotter, — je vous étoufferai.
