Carta de un padre (escritor) a su hija

(autor: Gordon Bryant)


Amorosa carta del escritor estadounidense Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) a su hija, Frances Scott Fitzgerald:

8 de agosto de 1933
Querido Bombón:
Estoy muy interesado en tus tareas. ¿Podrías darme un poco más de información acerca de tus lecturas en francés? Me alegra que estés contenta, pero no creo demasiado en la felicidad. Tampoco creo nunca en la desgracia. Esas son cosas que ves en un escenario o en una pantalla o en una hoja impresa, nunca te suceden a ti en la vida.
Todo lo que creo en la vida es en la recompensa por la virtud (de acuerdo a los talentos de uno) y en los castigos por no cumplir con tus tareas, que son doblemente despiadados. Si hay un libro así en la biblioteca del colegio, ¿podrías rogarle a la señora Tyson que te permita buscar un soneto de Shakespeare en el que aparece el verso: "Los lirios que se pudren huelen mucho peor que la mala hierba"?
Hoy no he tenido pensamientos, la vida parece consistir en pensar un cuento para Saturday Evening Post. Pienso en ti, y siempre con placer, pero si me llamas Pappy otra vez agarraré al Gato Blanco y lo aporrearé duro en el trasero, seis veces cada vez que seas impertinente. ¿Harás algo al respecto?
Arreglaré la cuestión de tu cuota.
Ya termino, boba. Cosas de las cuales preocuparse:
Preocúpate por el coraje.
Preocúpate por la limpieza
Preocúpate por la eficiencia
Preocúpate por la equitación...
Cosas de las cuales no preocuparte:
No te preocupes por la opinión general
No te preocupes por las muñecas
No te preocupes por el pasado
No te preocupes por el futuro
No te preocupes por el crecimiento
No te preocupes si alguien te saca ventaja
No te preocupes por la victoria
No te preocupes por la derrota excepto que se deba a tu culpa
No te preocupes por los mosquitos
No te preocupes por las moscas

No te preocupes por los insectos en general
No te preocupes por tus padres
No te preocupes por los varones
No te preocupes por las decepciones
No te preocupes por los placeres
No te preocupes por las satisfacciones.
Cosas en las cuales pensar:
¿Qué es lo que realmente estoy buscando?
Cuán bueno soy realmente en relación con mis contemporáneos en cuanto a:
El estudio.
¿De verdad entiendo a la gente y soy capaz de llevarme bien con ella?
¿Estoy intentando realmente hacer de mi cuerpo un instrumento útil o lo estoy ignorando?
Con todo amor.
