The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button....

"...He did not remember clearly whether the milk was warm or cool at his last feeding or how the days passed--there was only his crib and Nana's familiar presence. And then he remembered nothing. When he was hungry he cried--that was all. Through the noons and nights he breathed and over him there were soft mumblings and murmurings that he scarcely heard, and faintly differentiated smells, and light and darkness.

Then it was all dark, and his white crib and the dim faces that moved above him, and the warm sweet aroma of the milk, faded out altogether from his mind..."

The End.

"...El no recordaba con claridad si la leche se encontraba tibia o fria al momento de su ultima comida o como pasaban los dias-- Solo estaba su cuna y la presencia familiar de Nana. Y luego el no pudo recordar nada. Cuando tenia hambre, lloraba--Eso era todo. En las tardes y noches respiraba y sobre el habian suaves murmullos que apenas escuchaba, vagamente distinguia olores, la luz y la oscuridad.

Luego todo se volvio oscuro, y su cuna blanca y los borrosos rostros que se movian arriba de el, y el dulce aroma de la leche, desaparecieron todos completamente de su mente..."

Fin.

Scott Fitzgerald, "El Curioso Caso De Benjamin Button" para quienes lo quieran leer en ingles esta aca: http://www.readbookonline.net/read/690/10628/ , muy recomendado y no importa si ya vieron la pelicula, les aseguro que se van a llevar una gran sorpresa al ver lo diferente que es.

"...And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun..."
