Manuel Bandeira

Manuel Bandeira de Sousa Bandeira Filho (April 19 1886 – October 13 1968) was a Brazilian poet. Quotes Se queres sentir a felicidade de amar, esquece a tua alma.A alma é que estraga o amor.Só em Deus ela pode encontrar satisfação.Não noutra alma.Só em Deus - ou fora do mundo.As almas são incomunicáveis.Deixa o teu corpo entender — se com outro corpo.Porque os corpos se entendem, mas as almas não. If you want to feel the happiness of loving, forget about your soul.The soul ruins love.Only in God can the soul meet satisfaction.Not in another soul.Only in God — or out of the world.Souls cannot communicate.Let your body talk to another body.Because bodies understand each other, but souls don’t. Arte de amar (The Art of Loving) Quotes about I believe he (João Cabral de Melo Neto) was part of Brazil’s great poetry trinity, along with Manuel Bandeira and Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
