The Legend of Marilyn Monroe (3/6)
The Legend of Marilyn Monroe (4/6)
So she was beautiful, not only outside.
She died 19 months after the divorce; A. Miller, married one month after the divorce.
Both wanted kids.
...
"He is a better writer then a husband".
She was so alone in the world... then those difficult things that happened, including her not being able to have a child was more difficult to take then otherwise. Can a man take that? Love is the greatest warrior act after all. Real love, I mean.
Ok.... those pills and alcohol were a path to destruction....
From this other wife, he had two children one of then with Down syndrome. The child was dumped in an institution, with no relating to the parents, at the father's demand.
BBC ON THIS DAY | 24 | 1961: End of the road for Monroe and Miller
When i was a small child i had a classmate with the Down syndrome. Are there different levels of the illness, although we don't hear about that, generally speaking? He had it very lightly and he was beautiful, and he could learn. Only my teacher was horrible to him. I dare to say that that is pretty disgusting of Miller; he had enough good and beautiful things and people around him, in order to have love to give to the boy. He had money i suppose, too, so they could have had lots of assistance and help. Bah.

O Anel de Gyges I Os poderes mágicos e espirituais dos chefess
Algumas das coisas que não fazem parte da programação mental dos cerca de 50 jovens americanos mormon que todos os dias correm as ruas e as casas das pessoas mais pobres, idosas, sós ou menos cultas de Lisboa desde há uns 30 anos:
I
Eu sou santo e tenho poder.
Não eu não sou santo
porque outros também não mas tenho poder tenho sim o poder do silencio
de oferecer
o deserto
a confusão
não me analiso
não relaciono
as coisas
os fenómenos
os acontecimentos
que tenho eu a ver com as guerras
(a não ser que não foram elas os guias do bem?
não foram elas desde sempre
tempos imemoráveis
a actividade nobre entre nobres?)
eu não quero guerra
mas não observo
que têm as guerras a ver comigo
como ajo no dia a dia
que provoca guerras
como firo
como as feras.
(os detalhes são relevantes... e divertidos ou interessantes). Está bem feito e o último testemunho é especialmente significativo, Lucy, 49.45.
Ele (J.Smith) prometeu à rapariga (que não queria a poligamia se não recebesse uma revelação divina), que se ela rezasse, receberia essa revelação. E ela rezou e recebeu - e de que maneira ! - essa revelação; na mesma noite.
