Histórias de amor do caneco (Zelda e Scott Fitzgerald)

Scott e Zelda, que conseguiram dançar com genialidade

o complexo tango* do bêbado e da maluquinha...

"A história da minha vida é a história do conflito entre uma irresistível necessidade de escrever e um conjunto de circunstâncias que resolviam dissuadir-me de o fazer"

(Scott Fitzgerald)

"I am loving, loving every tiny minute of the day and night
Scott
there's nothing in all the world I want but you
and your precious love
All the materials things are nothing.

I'd just hate to live a sordid, colorless existence - because you'd soon love me less
and less
and I'd do anything
anything
to keep your heart for my own
I don't want to live
I want to love first, and live incidentally...
Don't
don't ever think of the things you can't give me
You've trusted me with the dearest heart of all
and it's so damn much more than anybody else in all the world has ever had
Don't you think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered
and I was delivered to you
to be worn
I want you to wear me, like a watch
charm or a button hole bouquet
to the world.

And then, when we're alone, I want to help
to know that you can't do anything without me...

All my heart"
(Zelda, numa carta a Scott)
