Patchwork

sensitive to this, and I said it to myself with conviction. Carrie’?s brown baby doll and her innocent blindness to color was beautiful to me, and I appreciated it. It made me feel good, and it made me feel like something was right about our poor, patchwork family. That had been one of our happier Christmases. Getting back to the year 1977, we kids were all abuzz about what Santa was going to bring us. For my parents, however, who naturally wanted to give their children a postcard…

pátio e cobertas com toalhas de mesa brancas decoradas com flores frescas. As antigas paredes de pedra são cobertas com exuberantes heras verdes, buganvílias rosa e vermelho com vista para os vinhedos, colinas pontilhadas com girassóis formando um patchwork fascinante, e as casas de fazenda Francesas estão intercaladas neste belo cenário. O tempo esta bonito, e o Mar Mediterrâneo, na distância reflete sua cor turquesa convidativa. Anastasia esta olhando, mas não vendo, ela esta…

is of no weight. He regards it only as an outer garment hung on people’s shoulders that has no influence upon their spiritual personality, if this is imbued with faith in God and with a love of God. He allows people to retain this garment, this patchwork of human errors, as long as it does not obstruct the task that He has assigned to them. If one should ask why the good spirit world did not enlighten these men as to the errors in their religious views and inform them of the truth, the answer is

Well, fetch me your portfolio, if you can vouch for its contents being original; but don’t pass your word unless you are certain: I can recognise patchwork.’ ‘Then I will say nothing, and you shall judge for yourself, sir.’ I brought the portfolio from the library. ‘Approach the table,’ said he; and I wheeled it to his couch. Adele and Mrs. Fairfax drew near to see the pictures. ‘No…

conceitos utilizados na atualidade.55 Segundo ele: Convive, no sincretismo, o paradoxo de uma palavra-geral justamente devido a sua absoluta particularidade. Freqüentemente disfarça-se com sinônimos mais elegantes ou mais conflituais, como pastiche, patchwork, marronização, híbrido, mélange, mulatismo, aculturação: todos ligados ao jogo, por excelência ambíguo, da chamada contaminação. Nele reside – em sua excessiva incoerência, trivialidade, indigenização – o Grande Liquidificador que…

keys at once, they were all, as before, in one bunch on a steel ring. He ran at once into the bedroom with them. It was a very small room with a whole shrine of holy images. Against the other wall stood a big bed, very clean and covered with a silk patchwork wadded quilt. Against a third wall was a chest of drawers. Strange to say, so soon as he began to fit the keys into the chest, so soon as he heard their jingling, a convulsive shudder passed over him. He suddenly felt tempted again…

Centro hortícola e centro agrícola Na verdade, o conceito de berço tem o inconveniente de dar a impressão de um “patchwork”, em se tratando de pré­‑história e história agrícolas. Entretanto, com base nas conclusões precedentes, parece­‑nos possível apresentar um quadro geral mais coerente: a) Ao núcleo central de florestas, ecossistema “generalizado”,…

her father in the godswood, but there were no gods on the road to Harrenhal, and her names were the only prayer she cared to remember. Every day they marched, and every night she said her names, until finally the trees thinned and gave way to a patchwork landscape of rolling hills, meandering streams, and sunlit fields, where the husks of burnt holdfasts thrust up black as rotten teeth.
