Farewell letter Garcia. The suicide letter of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Work as if you don't need money

From literary informbureuro

I think many of those present did not have acquainted with a tearful "letter." Where the poor author - for life - even a chocolate ice cream was not given to enjoy, and then there was no longer anything left: insidious death, other circumstances not yet announced in the "letter"

A letter of pro, including the ice cream in a constant form walked along the runet of ten years (10 years ...). It was sent to me good people in corporate mailing in several large companies, where I worked before departure from Russia, and where it just met me! .. In Russian.

One cm - with a dozen of the recesses of this "Letters" of the Great Novelist.

Now the "end of the world" is approaching. Runet shook, preparation began " how to live the remaining life so that it does not painfully hurt"12/21/2012. Apologies for a possible mistake in the date.

Slightly yellowed in the virtual forgotten "Letter" as before the living great writer again gained relevance. Dust fouled, began to send again. In RuNet, the stump is clear.

So, my friends.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, to whom this touching pathos creation is attributed, has nothing to do with him at all. Moreover, this is not a letter at all. BUT - poem. "La Marioneta". Written by little-known mexican wisdom named Johnny Welch (Johnny Welch) for his wandering puppet show "Mofles" ("Zhevny", "Mumen" - a literal translation for me to choose, unfortunately).

The prehistory of this "hoax" with the letter of the alleged Marquez is such.

In the summer of 1999, the Nobel laureate in literature was diamonded by leukemia. Crawled relevant rumors.

May 29, 2000 in the Peruvian (!!!) daily newspaper La Republica appeared poem "La Marioneta". The author is still not announced reasons - Gabriel Garcia Marquez was. It was also reported that a deadly sick writer sends it to his friends in private correspondence. As his poetic "spiritual will", as if.

The next day, on May 30, 2000, the entire newspaper Latin American world of conscientiously "overpowering" the sore, sad news. Mexican La Cronica. He came out with Hadline "Gabriel Garcia Marquez sings the life of the song", On the whole cover laying a photo of a writer - with the text of the poem on top of it ... The poem was declamored on the air of many radio stations, the text spread over the Internet.

The poem itself is terribly sentimentally and flooded with literary clichés, which would be strange to expect from the writer of this level. However, "bought" - not only the editors of the leading Hispanic daily and other media, but even friends of Gabriel Garcia Marquez ...

However, it turned out very quickly that Marquez had nothing to do with this poem. He himself never did any public statements about, but already June 1, 2000 Los Angeles Times has published an article "Farewell Poem 'Fools Readers" - "Farewell poem ditch readers."

***
And in RuNet - everything, as always: " And the men did not know"...

Last thing Letter Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"If for one moment God forgot that I was just a rag puppet, and I would give me a piece of life, I would probably say everything that I think, but I would definitely think that I say.
I would appreciate things, not for how much they stand, but for how much they mean.

I would sleep less, I would have dreamed more, realizing that every minute, when we close your eyes, we lose sixty seconds of light.
I would go, until everyone else stand, did not sleep while others sleep.
I would listen when others say, and no matter how I enjoyed the wonderful taste of chocolate ice cream.

If God gave me another moment of life, I would dress more modest, I would have been lying on the sun, putting the warm rays not only my body, but also a soul.
The Lord, if I had a heart, I would write all my hatred on ice and waited until the sun comes out.
I would draw a sleep / dream Van Gogh on the stars poem Benedetti, and the song Serrat would become a serenade that I would give the moon.
I would have watered roses tears to feel pain their spikes and a scarlet kiss of their petals. ..

The Lord, if I had still a piece of life, I would not have spent a single day without saying people I love that I love them.
I would convince every man's dear to me in my love and would live in love with love.
I would explain those who are mistaken, believing that they stop falling in love when aging, not understanding that they agreed when they stop falling in love!

I would give your kid, but allowed him to learn how to fly.
Starikov I would convince the fact that death comes not with old age, but with oblivion.

I learned so much with you, people, I realized that the whole world wants to live in the mountains, not realizing that real happiness is how we rising in the mountain.

I realized that from the moment that for the first time a newborn baby will burn his father's finger in his little cam, he will never let him go back it.
I realized that one person had the right to look at the other from the high only when he helps him climb.

There are so many things that I could still learn from you, people, but, at the very matter, they are unlikely to use, because when I put on this suitcase, I, unfortunately, will be dead.

Always say what you feel, and do what you think.
If I knew that today I last see you sleeping, I would firmly hugged you and prayed to God that he would make me your guardian angel.
If I knew that I see today, as you leave the doors, I would hugging you would kiss you and call you again to give you more.

If I knew that I hear your voice for the last time, I would write to the film all you say to listen to it also, endlessly.
If I knew that it was the last minutes, when I see you, I would say: I love you and did not intend, the fool that you knew it.

There is always tomorrow, and life provides us with another opportunity to fix everything, but if I am mistaken and today it's all that we have left, I would like to tell you how much I love you, and I will never forget you.

Neither the young man nor the old man can be sure that tomorrow will come for him.
Today, maybe the last time you see those who love.
Therefore, do not wait for something, do it today, because if tomorrow never comes, you will regret that when you have no time for one smile, one hug, one kisses, and when you were too busy to Perform the last desire.

Support people close to you, whispering them in your ear, how do you need them, love them and contact them carefully, find time to say: "I'm sorry," "Forgive me", "please thank you" and all those words Love you know.
No one will remember you for your thoughts.

Asking the Lord wisdom and strength to talk about what you feel.
Show your friends as they are important to you.
If you do not tell this today, tomorrow will be the same as yesterday. And if you don't do this ever, nothing will matter.
Imagine your dreams.
This moment came. "

UPD 2:

The Puppet.
If for a Moment God Would Forget That I am A Rag Doll and Give Me A SCRAP of Life, Possibly i Would Not Say Everything That I Think, But I Would Definitely Think Everything That I Say.

I Would Value Things Not For How Much The Are Worth But Rather for What They Mean.

I Would Sleep Little, Dream More. I know for Each Minute That We Close Our Eyes We Lose Sixty Seconds of Light.

I Would Walk WHEN THE OTHERS LOITER; I Would Awaken WHEN THE OTHERS SLEEP.

I Would Listen WHEN THE OTHERS SPEAK, AND HOW I WOULD ENJOY A GOOD CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.

If God Would Bestow on ME A SCRAP OF LIFE, I Would Dress Simply, I Would Throw Myself Flat Under the Sun, Exposing Not Only My Body But Also My Soul.

My God, If I Had a Heart, I Would Write My Hatred on Ice and Wait for the Sun to Come Out. With a Dream of Van Gogh I Would Paint on the Stars A Song by Benedetti, and a song by Serrat Would be My Serenade to the Moon.

With My Tears I Would Would Would Would, to Feel The Pain of their Thorns and the Incarnated Kiss of their Petals ... My God, If I Only Had A SCRAP OF LIFE ...

I Wouldn't Let A Single Day Go By Worthout Saying to People I Love, That I Love Them.

I Would Convince Each Woman Or Man That They Are My Favourites and I Would Live in Love with love.

I Would Prove to the Men How Mistaken They Are in Thinking That They No Longer Fall in Love When The Grow Old - Not Knowing That The Grow Old WHEN THEY STOP FALLING IN LOVE. To a child i Would Give Wings, But i Would Let Him Learn How to Fly by Himself. To the Old I Would Teach That Death Comes Not With Old Age But With Forgetting. I Have Learned So Much From You Men ....

I Have Learned Than Everybody Wants To Live At The Top of the Mountain Wanthout Realizing That True Happiness Lies In The Way We Climb The Slope.

I Have Learned That When A Newborn First Squeezes His Father's Finger in His Tiny Fist, He Has Caught Him Forever.

I Have Learned That A Man Only Has The Right to Look Down On Another Man When IS to Help Him to Stand Up. I Have Learned So Many Things From It Will Be No Use Because When They Put Me Inside That Suitcase, Unfortunately I Will Be Dying.

Translation from Spanish to English - Matthew Taylor and Rosa Alelis Taylor (Matthew Taylor, Rosa Aelis Taylor)

I would appreciate things not at their cost, but by their significance.

I would sleep less, I dreamed more, conscious that every minute with eyes closed is a loss of sixty seconds of light.

I would go when others refrain from it, I would wake up when others sleep, I would listen when others say.

And no matter how I enjoyed chocolate ice cream!

If the Lord had given me a little life, I would just dress, climbed with the first ray of the sun, exposing not only the body, but also the soul.

My God, if I had a little more time, I would challenge my hatred in the ice and waited for the sun. I would draw with the stars, like Wang Gogh, dreamed, reading the poems of Benedetti, and Serra's song would be my lunar serenade. I would wash roses with my tears to taste pain from their spikes and a scarlet kiss of their petals.

My God, if I had a little life ... I would not miss the day, so as not to tell your loved one that I love them. I would convince each woman and every man that I love them, I would live in love with love.

I would prove people how wrong they are, thinking that when they are aging, they cease to love: on the contrary, they are aging because they cease to love!

I would give your child wings and he would have taught him to fly.

Starikov, I would have taught the fact that death comes not from old age, but from oblivion. I also learned a lot with you, people.

I found out that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, not guessing that true happiness expects him on the descent.

I realized that when the newborn first grabs the father's finger with a tiny cam, he grabs him forever.

I realized that a person had the right to look at the other from top to bottom only to help him stand on his feet.

I learned so much from you, but, in truth, it's a bit of all this, because by putting it off the chest, I'm leaving.

Always say what you feel, and do what you think.

If I knew that today I last see you sleeping, I would firmly hugged you and prayed to God so that he makes me your guardian angel.

If I knew that I see today, as you leave the doors, I would hugging you would kiss you and call you again to give you more.

If I knew that it was the last minutes, when I see you, I would say: I love you and did not intend, the fool that you knew it.

There is always tomorrow, and life provides us with another opportunity to fix everything, but if I am mistaken and today is all that we have left, I would like to tell you how much I love you, and I will never forget you.

Neither the young man nor the old man can be sure that tomorrow will come for him. Today, maybe the last time you see those who love. Therefore, do not wait for something, do it today, because if tomorrow never comes.

You will regret that when you did not have time for one smile, one hug, one kiss, and when you were too busy to fulfill the last desire.

Support people close to you, whispering them in your ear, how do you need them, love them and contact them carefully, find time to say: "I'm sorry," "Forgive me", "please thank you" and all those words Love you know.

No one will remember you for your thoughts.

Asked the Lord wisdom and strength to talk about what you feel.

Show your friends as they are important to you. If you do not tell this today, tomorrow will be the same as yesterday.

And if you don't do this ever, nothing will matter.

Imagine your dreams. This moment came. "

Fourteen years ago, a poem appeared in one of the Peruvian newspapers "Doll", which was also called a farewell writer letter Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

2000 Gabriel Marquez:

"Love as if you never betrayed you.

Work as if you do not need money.

Dance as if no one sees you.

Singhand, as if no one hears you.

Live as if you live in paradise ... "

It just turned out not so long ago that the author of this work is not the world-famous writer at all, but a Mexican cevabaster named Johnny Welsh.And he studied this speech not by all mankind, but only his doll.

Later, the fact of mistakes recognized both, they even reported on the official website of the writer. Why under the work of Welsh turned out to be the name of Marquez and remained a mystery.

Nevertheless, the "farewell letter of Marquez" was widely concentrated and produced a real exterior in the Wizard of the Talent of the Columbia Writer.

Some still believe that this letter wrote exactly Marquez. And on the Internet, this message is now wandering and on behalf of Paolo Coelho ...

Anastasia Novikova, -Marquez did not write a famous "farewell letter"

And for those who love to enjoy the wisdom of the winged phrases "in the movies", here is a video:
