Rosa murcha
Esta rosa desbotada
Já tantas vezes beijada,
Pálido emblema de amor;
É uma folha caída
Do livro da minha vida,
Um canto imenso de dor!
Há que tempos! Bem me lembro...
Foi num dia de Novembro:
Deixava a terra natal,
A minha pátria tão cara,
O meu lindo Guanabara,
Em busca de Portugal.
Na hora da despedida
Tão cruel e tão sentida
P’ra quem sai do lar fagueiro;
Duma lágrima orvalhada,
Esta rosa foi-me dada
Ao som dum beijo primeiro.
Deixava a pátria, é verdade,
Ia morrer de saudade
Noutros climas, noutras plagas;
Mas tinha orações ferventes
Duns lábios inda inocentes
Enquanto cortasse as vagas.
E hoje, e hoje, meu Deus?!
— Hei de ir junto aos mausoléus
No fundo dos cemitérios,
E ao baço clarão da lua
Da campa na pedra nua
Interrogar os mistérios!
Carpir o lírio pendido
Pelo vento desabrido...
Da divindade aos arcanos
Dobrando a fronte saudosa,
Chorar a virgem formosa
Morta na flor dos anos!
Era um anjo! Foi pr’o céu
Envolta em místico véu
Nas asas dum querubim;
Já dorme o sono profundo,
E despediu-se do mundo
Pensando talvez em mim!
Oh! esta flor desbotada,
Já tantas vezes beijada,
Que de mistérios não tem!
Em troca do seu perfume
Quanta saudade resume
E quantos prantos também!

Text: “Why do people collect?”
Petra Engels owns 19,571 erasers, Carol Vaughn has 1,221 bars of soap, and Ralf Shrőder has a collection of 14,502 packets of sugar. Many people love to collect things, but why? Psychologists and collectors have different opinions.
The psychologist Carl Jung believed that collecting is part of our ancient human history. Thousands of years ago, humans collected nuts and berries. They kept them carefully and ate them when there was no food. The best collectors survived long cold winters or seasons without rain. Their genes passed to future generations. Nowadays, we still have a collecting instinct.
Historian Philipp Bloom has a different opinion. He thinks collectors want to make something that will remain after their death. By bringing many similar items together, the collector gains historical importance. Sometimes their collections become museums or libraries, for example, Henry Huntington, who founded a library in Los Angeles to house his collection of books.
Author Steve Roach thinks that people collect things to remember their childhood. Many children collect things, but few have enough money to buy the things they really want, and they lose interest. In later life, they remember their collections fondly. Now, they have enough money and opportunity to find special items, and they start collecting again. This way, they can re-live and enjoy their childhood years.
Art collector, Werner Muensterberger, agrees that collecting is linked to childhood. But he believes we collect in order to feel safe and secure. While babies hold blankets or toys to feel safe when their mother isn’t there, adults collect things to stop feeling lonely or anxious.
Autograph collector Mark Baker agrees that collecting is emotional, but he doesn’t collect to reduce anxiety. “For me, it’s the excitement,” he says. “I love trying to get a famous person’s autograph. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I fail. Also, by collecting autographs, I feel connected to famous people. I don’t just watch them on television. I actually meet them.”
These are just a few reasons for collecting. Do you know any people with collections? Why do they collect?
