Method of loci
The method of loci (loci being Latin for "places"), also called the memory palace or mind palace technique, is a mnemonic device adopted in ancient Roman and Greek rhetorical treatises (in the anonymous Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero's De Oratore, and Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria).
In basic terms, it is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualization to organize and recall information. A lot of memory contest champions claim to use this technique to recall faces, digits, and lists of words. These champions’ successes have little to do with brain structure or intelligence, but more to do with their technique of using regions of their brain that have to do with spatial learning.

Ice queen
"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried"
Not a footprint to be seen

Soneto do amigo
Querido, querido J.
Enfim, depois de tanto erro passado
Tantas retaliações, tanto perigo
Eis que ressurge noutro o velho amigo
Nunca perdido, sempre reencontrado.
É bom sentá-lo novamente ao lado
Com olhos que contêm o olhar antigo
Sempre comigo um pouco atribulado
E como sempre singular comigo.
Um bicho igual a mim, simples e humano
Sabendo se mover e comover
E a disfarçar com o meu próprio engano.
O amigo: um ser que a vida não explica
Que só se vai ao ver outro nascer
E o espelho de minha alma multiplica...
Vinicius de Moraes
