Solitudine (do Latim)

Cem anos de solidão. A solidão não se conta. Em ambos os sentidos. Não tem quantificação, nem humano é arrotar a palavra. A solidão é um momento cravado no tempo, eterno. Levantas-te em direcção ao céu, e não sentes nada. Deitas-te e sentes sim, a carne em gesso. É a solidão. Uma luz que se apaga. Um grito no escuro. Jamais a verás. Jamais o esquecerás. Por mais que a página do teu livro arda, arderão bem mais fogosamente as letras que outrora foram tuas e só. Tuas.


"Eleanor Rigby" is a song by The Beatles, originally released on the 1966 album Revolver. The song was primarily written by Paul McCartney, although in an interview conducted with Playboy magazine in 1980 shortly before he died, John Lennon claimed that, at McCartney's request, he completed the lyrics to the second and third verse.
Though "Eleanor Rigby" was not the first pop song to deal with death and loneliness, it was certainly among the first to present such a serious attitude.
Coincidentally, in the 1980s, a grave of an Eleanor Rigby was discovered in the graveyard of St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton, Liverpool, a few feet from where McCartney and Lennon had met for the first time during a fete in 1957.Paul had frequently played there as a boy.
