Endurance frozen in the ice, 1914-1917. Frank Hurley
Platinum print.
The Endurance was an exploration ship that became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica in 1915. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship was squeezed by the ice for ten months before being crushed, but the crew all survived.
Eso de amar sin esperar nada a cambio es bonito en los cuentos de hadas. Pero en la vida real, un amor maduro exige un delicado equilibrio entre dar y recibir, porque todo aquello que no es mutuo, resulta ser tóxico.
