quem é amigo, quem é?

Aconselho vivamente a leitura de tudo o que o Harold Nicolson escreveu. É um dos meus seres humanos preferidos. Reparem só neste detalhe biográfico:

"Nicolson and his wife practiced what today would be called an open marriage. They each had a number of same-sex affairs, and once Harold had to follow Vita to France, where she had "eloped" with Violet Trefusis, to try to win her back. However, they remained happy together – in fact, they were famously devoted to each other, writing almost every day when they were separated, for example, because of long diplomatic postings abroad. Eventually, he gave up diplomacy, partly so they could live together in England."
