Sonnet 43 from Sonnets from the Portuguese
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1850)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Sonnet 29
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1923)
Pity me not because the light of day
At the close of day no longer walks the sky;
Pity me not for beauties passed away
From field to thicket as the year goes by;
Pity me not the waning moon,
Nor that the ebbing tide goes out to sea,
Nor that a man’s desire is hushed so soon,
And you no longer look with love on me.
This I have known always: Love is no more
Than the wide blossom which with the wind assails,
Than the great tide that tread the shifting shore,
Strewing fresh wreckage gathered in the gales:
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
When the swift mind beholds at every turn.
One day in 1843, I was in Ireland with my brother. It was raining but the sun was up. We were looking at the
rainbow. We went to the end of the rainbow; when, suddenly, we heard strange noise and the rainbow’s
colours disappeared.
We saw the ghosts of a family. They were wearing the same clothes. They were crying. I felt pity for the
ghosts but my brother took out a vacuum cleaner and sucked them in.
Now we have a ghost collection in our living room. You can come and visit them for only $99,99.
One day I went to Cairo, Egypt, on holiday. I was
with my boyfriend. It was sunny but, suddenly, it
started raining. We were inside the pyramids when
one guide came to us; he told us the history of all
the pyramids in Egypt. After a few minutes the guide
disappeared and we heard a loud and scary noise.
As soon as we heard it, we decided to go to the place
the noise came from, and we saw the guide´s ghost:
he was angry and crying; he also was wearing his
green uniform and looked bloody. Everyone started
to run out of the pyramids. Later, when we came
back home, we told our family about the ghost but
they didn’t believe us!

Storytime
Danny arrived at the restaurant where he sat next to the woman. Alter some talking, the waiter came and the
woman, whose name was Joan, ordered the most expensive dish. Danny was shocked and even more when
Joan asked him to pay the bill. He should have guessed! Even the first time they met, Joan had managed not
to pay. He hadn’t thought about it before but it made sense! She had given him her number the second time
they ever met! Danny shook his head in disbelief and left as soon as possible. On the way out, he told the
waiter: The bill is on her!”

My Old Dream
06
When I was Young, I usually had a dream. I wanted to live
in a village. It was a quiet village near the river. There was a
light blue river and you could see your face in its water.
There were a lot of trees. There was a warm sun and there
were a lot of flowers. There were a lot of mountains around
the river and you could see the mountain peaks covered with
snow all the year. In my dream all mornings were perfect.
I had a little house next to the prairie. I had breakfast in bed
and I enjoyed working in the garden. I could feel the wind
in my face every day. In the winter when the snow began to
fall down, I enjoyed sitting near the window and reading a
love story, and drank a hot milk chocolate too. The life in
the village was so simple, so you made your food every day.
You could make bread and home-made marmalade with the
plums of the trees. You could get vegetables from the earth
and got fresh water from the river. Near the river you could
hear the singing of the birds in the afternoons. Today, I´m 34
years old but I still think about my dream village.

Did you know?
We use the word “Technology” in our everyday lives,
without much ado, recklessly, naturally and giving no
relevance to it; pretty much as we do with the rest of
the words of the language, for that matter. However,
Rod Stewart says “every picture tells a story” and I say
every word tells us a bit about the history of language.
This word, “technology”, for instance, is, for starters, a
compound word. It is compound because it is made up
of two words that separately have their own meanings.
On the one hand, there is the word “teckné” which in
Greek means, “art”, “technique”, “craft”, “science”.
And on the other, there is “logos”, which is also Greek
in origin, and refers to the word which is the result of
some pondering or meditation.
In the history of the Greek civilization, the “logos”
became increasingly significant, since the emergence
of the “polis” implied that the “word” or “logos” was
the instrument that empowered the citizens to exercise
their political rights. Thus, speaking meant considering
matters, reflecting upon the intricacies of the political life,
and exercising a certain amount of influence in the city or
“polis”. Its derivative “logy” became, therefore, what stood
for “doctrine” or “theory”. This is why “technology” ends up
meaning “the study of the technique, or craft”.
We tend to correlate the word “technology” with computing
and virtuality, but in fact, there is technology wherever there is
a craft, such as when man used any kind of elaborate tool for a
specific purpose. And this is because words are naturalized in
our daily lives, and we use them without stopping to consider
their full implications.
There is a history to languages, and language histories are
conjoined on many occasions, as we here considered the
evolution of ancient Greece with the word we use to refer
to contemporary objects such as tablets, or notebooks.
Acknowledging the backstage of our everyday speeches is
a way of getting closer to the reasoning that is somewhat
vacant in our hectic lives.

This year in Adrogué, we are working on a new project with the youngest students- our own vegetable garden! We would like to share these photos- taken by one of our former students Antonela
Guida- with the LCB community. See how our Kinder and Prep students are having fun while
learning to look after nature! And also how our Prep students are making their own scarecrow!
Hope you really enjoy them! Best wishes, Valeria Arturi – Adrogué branch
