I just read an article on The three musketeers and it has left me teary eyed
#I didn't even read the book while being nine I only watch the dog show why has it hit me so xD
#It is by Arturo Pérez Reverte which is usually 🗡🗡🗡 but this article was very sweet
#I am contemplating sharing some fragments and perhaps translating them (the article is in Spanish)
#I love that feeling of... of getting old alongside the characters‚ of feeling life weighting you down‚
#of losing so much spirit and yet retaining so much love.Of looking back and remembering with the same fondness the friends and the enemies
#And ultimately that feeling of having some part of yourself die alongside the characters when they start dying‚every time‚with every reread
#Closing the book slowly as if closing a tomb. Feeling some part of your young self irrevocably gone
#Because these characters‚ these books‚ have accompanied you through life‚ and every time someone dies‚ every time the book is finished‚
#there is really a part of you dying‚ or a part of yourself you notice has died or grown old and couldn't see before
#And yet a few years later you can pick up the book again‚ open it‚ and it will be again the first Monday of April‚
#and D'Artagnan will again be eighteen‚ and again you'll be for a bit the young self you left behind thirty years ago‚
#riding alongside him to meet the best friends you ever had
#It was such a loving ode to beloved books that accompany us through life and make us part of who we are
#Like that poem by Neruda I quote all the time
#'muchas cosas / me lo dijeron todo. / No sólo me tocaron / o las tocó mi mano‚ / sino que acompañaron / de tal modo / mi existencia /
#que conmigo existieron / y fueron para mí tan existentes / que vivieron conmigo media vida / y morirán conmigo media muerte'
#I talk too much
#I should probably delete this later
