O correspondente da BBC em Lisboa, Mark Doyle, despachou para Londres esta interessante notícia sobre o encerramento da Cimeira UE-África, notícia que termina assim:Grand language
The Summit ended, as do most meetings of this sort, with smiling photocalls.
The Portuguese Prime Minister, Jose Socrates, gave an extraordinary closing speech which spoke about bridges being built, steps forward being taken, and visions being pursued.
He went off on such an oratorical flight, in fact, that I became mesmerised by the beauty of the Portuguese language and the elegance of his delivery.
I was so bewitched that I didn't register any concrete points in the speech at all.
Perhaps there weren't any. But it certainly sounded good.
Pelos vistos, palavras ocas mas bonitas (e musicais) de José Sócrates no discurso de encerramento da Cimeira.
Parece que Mark Doyle terá ficado fã da Língua Portuguesa.
Valha ao menos isso.
