Margarida Vale de Gato:"... I must say I could not resist Jorio Dauster's
translation, "minha alma, minha lama" and I "stole" from him ...since that pun
is a productive one in our lyrical 19th century. ...So, the whole 1st paragraph
goes like this: Lolita, brilho da minha vida, fogo dos meus flancos. Minha
alma, minha lama. Lo-lii-ta: a ponta da língua enrola no palato e desliza, três
socalcos, até que estaca, ao terceiro, nos dentes. Lo. Li. Ta."

Jansy Mello: Wonderful steps jumping from "palato" to "socalcos" and "estaca"
but how admirable (brilliant!) your re-introduction of the letter "i"
("brilho") instead of the "u" in "luz" "luce" "lumière".for "light of my
life"
