"Ninguém sabe o que sou quando rumino"

Bons dias! Vi não me lembra onde...


É meu costume; quando não tenho o que fazer em casa, ir por esse mundo de Cristo, se assim se pode chamar à cidade de São Sebastião, matar o tempo. Não conheço melhor ofício, mormente se a gente se mete por bairros excêntricos; um homem, uma tabuleta, qualquer coisa basta a entreter o espírito, e a gente volta para casa "lesta e aguda", como se dizia em não sei que comédia antiga.
Naturalmente, cansadas as pernas, meto-me no primeiro bond, que pode trazer-me à casa ou à Rua do Ouvidor, que é onde todos moramos. Se o bond é dos que têm de ir por vias estreitas e atravancadas, torna-se um verdadeiro obséquio do céu. De quando em quando, pára diante de uma carroça que despeja ou recolhe fardos. O cocheiro trava o carro, ata as rédeas, desce e acende um cigarro: o condutor desce também e vai dar uma vista de olhos ao obstáculo. Eu, e todos os veneráveis camelos da Arábia, vulgo passageiros, se estamos dizendo alguma coisa, calamo-nos para ruminar e esperar. Ninguém sabe o que sou quando rumino. Posso dizer, sem medo de errar, que rumino muito melhor do que falo. A palestra é uma espécie de peneira, por onde a idéia sai com dificuldade, creio que mais fina, mas muito menos sincera. Ruminando, a idéia fica íntegra e livre. Sou mais profundo ruminando; e mais elevado também.
Ainda anteontem, aproveitando uma meia hora de bond parado, lembrou-me não sei como o incêndio do club dos Tenentes do Diabo. Ruminei os episódios todos, entre eles os atos de generosidade tinham parte das sociedades congêneres; e fiquei triste de não estar naquela primeira juventude, em que a alma se mostra capaz de sacrifícios e de bravura. Todas essas dedicações dão prova de uma solidariedade rara, grata ao coração.
Dois episódios, porém, me deram a medida do que valho quando rumino. Toda a gente os leu separadamente; o leitor e eu fomos os únicos que os comparamos.
Refiro-me, primeiramente, à ação daqueles sócios de outro club, que correram à casa que ardia, e, acudindo-lhes à lembrança os estandartes, bradaram que era preciso salvá-los. "Salvemos os estandartes!" E tê-lo-iam feito, a troco da vida de alguns se não fossem impedidos a tempo. Era loucura, mas loucura sublime. Os estandartes são para eles o símbolo da associação, representam a honra comum, as glórias comuns, o espírito que os liga e perpetua.
Esse foi o primeiro episódio. Ao pé dele temos o do empregado que dormia, na sala. Acordou este cercado de fumo que o ia sufocando e matando. Ergueu-se, compreendeu tudo, estava perdido, era preciso fugir. Pegou em si e no livro da escrituração e correu pela escada abaixo.
Comparai esses dois atos, a salvação dos estandartes e a salvação do livro, e tereis uma imagem completa do homem. Vós mesmos que me ledes sois outros tantos exemplos de conclusão. Uns dirão que o empregado, salvando o livro, salvou o sólido; o resto é obra de sirgueiro. Outros replicarão que a contabilidade pode ser reconstituída, mas que o estandarte, símbolo da associação, é também a sua alma; velho e chamuscado, valeria muito mais que o que possa sair agora novo, de uma loja. Compará-lo-ão à bandeira de uma nação, que os soldados perdem no combate, ou trazem esfarrapada e gloriosa.
E todos vós tereis razão; sois as duas metades do homem, formais o homem todo... Entretanto, isso que aí fica dito está longe da sublimidade com que o ruminei. Oh! Se todos ficássemos calados! Que imensidade de belas e grandes idéias! Que saraus excelentes! Que sessões de Câmara! Que magníficas viagens de bond!
Mas por onde é que eu tinha principiado? Ah! Uma coisa que vi, sem saber onde...
Não me lembra se foi andando de bond; creio que não. Fosse onde fosse, no centro da cidade ou fora dela. Vi, à porta de algumas casas, esqueletos de gente postos em atitudes joviais. Sabem que o meu único defeito é ser piegas; venero os esqueletos, já porque o são, já porque o não sou. Não sei se me explico. Tiro o chapéu às caveiras; gosto da respeitosa liberdade com que Hamlet fala à do bobo Yorick. Esqueletos de mostrador, fazendo guifonas, sejam eles de verdade ou não, é coisa que me aflige. Há tanta coisa gaiata por esse mundo, que não vale a pena ir ao outro arrancar de lá os que dormem. Não desconheço que esta minha pieguice ia melhor em verso, com toada de recitativo ao piano: Mas é que eu não faço versos; isto não é verso:
Venha o esqueleto, mais tristonho e grave bem como a ave, que fugiu do além... Sim, ponhamos o esqueleto nos mostradores, mas sério, tão sério como se fosse o próprio esqueleto do nosso avô, por exemplo... Obrigá-lo a uma polca, habanera, lundu ou cracoviana...cracoviana? Sim, leitora amiga, é uma dança muito antiga, que o nosso amigo João, cá de casa, executa maravilhosamente, no intervalo dos seus trabalhos. Quando acaba, diz-nos sempre, parodiando um trecho de Shakespeare: "Há entre a vossa e a minha idade, muito mais coisas do que sonha a vossa vã filosofia”.
Boas noites!

  9. Loyalty Bonus. This is exactly as it sounds. All honest online casinos, and offline ones too, want to keep hold of their good returning customers, and will offer loyalty bonuses, including free casino chips, as a result.



    1. He fully read the casino bonuses and promotions page. This sounds like common sense, but it's important to read the fine print. Many casinos offer a special terms of Service page for each individual casino bouns. Casinos make their money by "giving" you a promotional bonus and requiring you to gamble for just long enough so that in theory you lose your initial deposit and the bonus amount. This requirement is called the "play through requirement". Knowing the play through requirement and the odds of the game you are going to play are important. Because if you can find a casino that offers a low play through requirement and high enough bonus you could (in theory) make money for as long as your eligible for the bonus.

    - Have a budget and stick to it. Decide how much you can afford to spend and bet wisely. Pace your betting, so you don't blow your stash on one risky bet. Before you know it you will be signing off, your online casino experience a short one.


    First, never choose a casino on the sole basis of his ranking in the search engine results. They are not necessarily good rankings on how a casino. You must go through several online casino sites to compare the benefits in detail and then make a decision. For example, should offer a bonus and, if so, how much. Are there any special promotions available?

  14. Everything about horse betting

    In addition to offering the full menu of track bets, i.e., Win, Place, Show, Daily Doubles, Exactas, Quinellas, Trifectas and Superfectas, some have started offering additional types of wagers such as a two horse match bet. This, in our opinion, is the most significant opportunity for horse racing today. In an era where proposition bets on football range from the point spread to which way the wind will be blowing at half time, horse racing is missing the boat. They've failed to recognize what Las Vegas has known for some time, namely that gaming is entertainment and that the way to increase 'handle' is to offer more types of wagers. This year's Superbowl offered over 300 proposition bets resulting in a record setting day for the Las Vegas sports books with over 94 million dollars wagered. To put that into perspective, that's about .6% of the 15 billion dollars wagered annually on horse racing.
    [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse bet[/url]
    Another sad fact is that more than 400 in-racing horses die every year in the UK alone. They may die on the course itself, from injuries received in training or be killed by their owners - considered no longer commercially viable.


    In the 131 years that have passed only 11 horses have managed to accomplish what is arguably the most difficult feat in sports. Compared to the Triple Crown, no-hitters in baseball are an everyday occurrence; back to back championships in other sporting events, a dime a dozen; there have been more solar eclipses in our lifetime than Triple Crown winners and each year more people are struck by lightening than the total number of Triple Crown winners in history.

  15. You may not be aware of what banking Internet actually is, and it can be a bit confusing because it has so many names from online banking to PC banking as well as electronic banking and banking online.

    This banking Internet option has been very popular not only for customers who want to have some control over their account without having to go to the bank but for banks as well whose man hours have been freed up from performing simple tasks like balance inquiries, account transfers, and the like because the customer does it himself with banking Internet.

    Banking Internet options also include virtual banks.

    This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.

  16. If you are a novice gambler you probably haven’t heard the term but professional bettors who earn their livelihood from sports betting use the method all the time taking advantage of the variance in odds from the opinions of the diverse number of bookmakers. Even though it sounds as if it is a no risk situation that may not always be the case and there some issues that can cause you to lose.
    bet football | bet online sport betting
    Any one who bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

    It appears that the United States legal system is closer than ever before to cutting off ties with any type of online gambling within its boundaries. This includes poker, casinos, and sports betting among others. Generally speaking, anything that has to do with transmitting money via the internet as far as gambling is concerned is being cracked down on quite harshly.

    If you are employing neither of those two elements, then the risk you run of eventually losing your entire Base Bank is 99.99%. On the other hand, employing only a good Selection System would not only reduce your risk closer to just 10% maximum, you would also have up to a 10% chance of making money. This would mean that the Bookies would suddenly be faced with a 10% possibility of losing to you long-term, rather than a 99.99% certainty of taking your money from you. Throw in a proper Staking Plan on top of that, and you will have increased your chances of winning to as high as 20%.
