Girbal said, in Portuguese:

> Talvez o Autor da mensagem original tenha muita razao. Quanto a mim,
> sinto-me velho demais para comecar, agora, a gostar de obras que nao
> despertaram em mim mais do que simples curiosidade. O defeito e meu,
> de certeza.

I puzzled out the Portuguese, and thought that others might want the
translation:

   'There's no question that the author of the original posting is
   quite right.  As for me, I feel far too old to begin, at this stage,
   to enjoy works that fail to awaken within me more than simple curiosity.
   The loss, by all means, is mine.'
