Página 25 - They play mother-me-do all day. A woman who loves a woman is forever young. Once there was a witch's garden more beautiful than Eve's with carrots growing like little fish, with many tomatoes rich as frogs, onions as ingrown as hearts, the squash singing like a dolphin...
Página 84 - ... requires the duality of a subject and an object. Woman is led into narcissism along two converging roads. As subject she feels frustrated; when very young she lacks that alter ego which his penis is for the boy; later on, her aggressive sexuality remains unsatisfied. And what is much more important, masculine activities are forbidden her. She is occupied, but she does nothing; she does not get recognition as an individual through her functioning as wife, mother, housekeeper. The reality of man...
Página 33 - In fact, carnival does not know footlights, in the sense that it does not acknowledge any distinction between actors and spectators. Footlights would destroy a carnival, as the absence of footlights would destroy a theatrical performance. Carnival is not a spectacle seen by the people; they live in it, and everyone participates because its very idea embraces all the people.
Página 89 - Echo. quae tamen ut vidit, quamvis irata memorque, indoluit, quotiensque puer miserabilis 'eheu!' 495 dixerat, haec resonis iterabat vocibus 'eheu!'; cumque suos manibus percusserat ille lacertos, haec quoque reddebat sonitum plangoris eundem. ultima vox solitam fuit haec spectantis in undam: 'heu frustra dilecte puer!
