Nazim Hikmet - Nazim Hikmet Poems - Poem Hunter. Cómo leer más en 2015. La cuesta de enero se suele enfilar con agujetas.
La resaca del 1 de enero, el no-día por antonomasia, esa jornada en la que mucha gente cena los bordes de la pizza que pidió a domicilio a mediodía, abona la vid para ese sentimiento de culpa en el que florecen los grandes propósitos. Durante esta primera semana del año, en definitiva, se firman cheques que no se podrán pagar.

A quick "I love you, babes" text might do the job nowadays but such a flippant declaration of romance would hardly stand the test of time.
For years and years, history's greatest lovers have been putting voice to their feelings via the humble pen, translating the tumult of their hearts into a series of ardent, amorous and impassioned letters. At times, poetic and sexual, lyrical and desperate, these heartfelt missives never fail to strike a chord in the eye of the reader. Whether it's Richard Burton raving about Liz Taylor's "special and dangerous loveliness" or Oscar Wilde heralding his lover Bosie's "red rose-leaf lips", these letters strip away emotional barriers to lay bare their authors' true and often anguished state of mind.
