ATIVIDADE PRÁTICA DA LÍNGUA INGLESA II
Os versos abaixo são de autoria do poeta inglês Lewis Carroll.
THERE are certain things – as, a spider, a ghost,
The income tax, gout, an umbrella for three –
That I hate, but the thing I hate the most
Is a thing they call the Sea.
Pour some salt water over the floor –
Ugly I’m sure you’ll allow it to be:
Suppose it extended a mile or more,
That’s very like the Sea.
Beat a dog till it howls outright –
Cruel, but all very well, for a spree:
Suppose that he did so day and night,
That would be like the Sea.
(…)
