POEIRA DE 15 DE AGOSTO
(Cortesia de João Costa que lembrou esta “poeira”)
Hoje, há oitenta e seis anos, Churchill foi a Paris como Ministro do Armamento e daí escreve à sua mulher Clementine :
“Paris, 15 August, 1918
My Darling One:
I never saw anything like the tropical brilliancy of the weather here.
Each day is more perfect than the other. It was provoking to be cooped up in a conference hour after hour...It is quite an impressive gathering - the 4 great nations assembled along the tables with their ministers & generals etc. We arranged that each gt power represent one of the little powers (so as to restrict members).
France took Greece, Italy was given Serbia, the U.S. Belgium, & we took the Portuguese; so we were like four kangaroos each with an infant in the pouch.
Ours is rather a dirty brat I am afraid...
Always yr devoted
W.”
Pois é.
