Lua vermelha (ou da eterna corrente) "These magnetic unstoppable quarrels were a mode of being together, essential when other contacts were in abeyance, self-perpetuating because neither dared to leave any dangerous remark in the air lest it should seem to have some final awful significance, quarrels like physical contact, like wrestling, dealing wounds known not to be fatal, not like love-making, lacking in purpose and achieved repose, never-rending, destructive, yet appearing as necessary and unavoidable expressions of their love for each other." Iris Murdoch, in The good apprentice. --------
