Vincent is unable to articulate his "premise" in a straightforward and reasonable way in either of two languages in spite of being asked and told several times in various ways that no one can address a point if it's obfuscated by inappropriate verbiage and bad construction. When communication breaks down in that fashion, the reasonable writer returns to basics. The lack of that reduction and simplification--in either language--indicates a lack of willingness or ability or both all of which I find annoying in a poster has the gall to whine about lack of reasonable critique. I have to conclude he doesn't really want feedback--he just wants to sling words around, which is also incredibly troll-like.
We're now well out of my Portuguese and this has become pointless, so I'm giving up.
Simplifique.
My imediate willingness to reply was distracted by unworthy diligences... fortunatly, a fellow named Haegen, if my memory doesnt betray me, had the piety of, noticing my disregard of this thread, remind me of its existence. So, I guess we, u and i, should thank the opportunity sense of this young man, young at his heart, but old at his soul, that with, i believe, with sincere sorrow, was seeing this conversation swallowed by oblivion.
Analysing your critique, which i found reasonably expressed... an old memory, like a flash of unwanted nostalgia, was brought back to my consciousness. 11th grade... portuguese class. The professor, started the hour of his intelectual supremacy, with an exordium about a portuguese book... called "Os Maias". Its probably the best prose book ever written. He asked if someone had already read the book. A classmate, standing right next to me, said he had finished it the day before and described it as... "very confusing". The teacher's semblant was softned by a smile, where i saw surprise and disbelief. He asked the reason of that absurd characterization of a formidable creation, as mythic as David's statue or the paintings in St Peters basilica... my friend said it was hard to understand what the author was saying. Obscure ideas. Divagations that he wasnt accustomed to contact during his dialogues or other books... he didint get anything of it. Sentences, main ideas, axioms... nothing.
i realized also that he wasnt alone... most of the class was unable to capture the meaning of the message. 700 pages read, studied, memorized... vague notions written in the exam, and then after the anxiety, digested and evakuated. This is the modern natural reaction to healthy perspectives.... people release what should be assimilated, and assimilate what should be released. What this sentence has of ugly has of true... its an objective, clear, solid appreciation of today's mental predisposition.....

When the goal is to communicate with others (as opposed to textual masturbation), it takes more skill to express an idea with less words. Try writing a grant proposal with your writing philosophy and see how far it gets you.

Suddenly, u feel like belonging to someone else.... that person, although receptive to your affective demonstrations, rejects deeper advances, refering that her/his heart belongs to another person....´
..should we struggle? I believe pride, when agravated, is enough to free an heart from the strong embrace of the serpents of desire, relegating passion to the trivial vocation of admiration, but increasing the intensity of love, if in its true form....
..what do u think of this?....
I think you've over-estimated the artistic value of the ellipsis. Furthermore, reading your post made me wince. Romantic love is self-absorbed, and self-important, and nobody else in the world is gonna give a shit that you feel strongly enough for some chic to write bad poetry.

It was just a speculation, really... I never felt anything which could be described by my... obnoxious "bad poetry"... :) I proceeded to an image, in order for you to understand better some notions.
Come on... after all u've read from me, do u really think i could be involved in such a cunjuncture?

Yes.
