"I shall live beyond death,

and I shall sing in your ears

Even after the vast sea-wave

carries me back

To the vast sea-depth.

I shall sit at your board though

without a body,

And I shall go with you to your

fields, a spirit invisible.

A ti entrego meu coração

Clicia Pavan

Tenho você nos meus pensamentos

Mesmo sem olhar, te vejo

Pois nosso amor é algo

Mais do que corpo é alma

Te procuro em cada estrela

Te encontro nas minhas lembranças

Te encontro na saudades dos teus beijos

"Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace

there may be in silence.

"THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER”

The girl in the photo is Anne de Gaulle; the third daughter of Yvonne Vendroux and General de Gaulle. She was born on New Year's Day in 1928. Her features, as you can appreciate, are characteristic of what we now call Down syndrome, and in Anne's case it was severe, so much so that she could barely walk…
