Vinho de cocaína





Provei uma única gota do seu vinho mágico 

E tornei-me uma fantástica princesa inca 

A recitar os versos litúrgicos 

Coca yhamuspa sachamanta 

Cutichin hinti guagtaste 

Yathun socoyock hui 

Napipa huinnaimincama 



 Judith Gautier, laudando o Vin Mariani, o primeiro vinho
de coca produzido e muito popular nos anos 1860.

Marlon Brando, carta de amor a uma aeromoça, 1966





- Oh, what a mess! (purr).





Dear Lady -

There is something not quite definable in your face - something lovely, not pretty in a conventionally thought of way. You have something graceful and tender and feminine (sp). You seem to be a woman who has been loved in her childhood, or else, somehow by the mystery of genetic phenomena you have been visited by the gifts of refinement, dignity and poise. Perhaps you cannot be accredited with all that.

Irrespective of your gothic aspects, you have passed something on in terms of your expression, mien and general comportment that is unusual and rewarding.

It's been a pleasant if brief encounter and I wish you well and I hope we shall have occasion to cross eyes again sometime.

Best wishes

Marlon Brando

Savoy
