Poema de Canção Sobre a Esperança – Álvaro de Campos Novembro 30, 2006

I
Dá-me lírios, lírios,
E rosas também.
Mas se não tens lírios
Nem rosas a dar-me,
Tem vontade ao menos
De me dar os lírios
E também as rosas.
Basta-me a vontade,
Que tens, se a tiveres,
De me dar os lírios
E as rosas também,
E terei os lírios -
Os melhores lírios -
E as melhores rosas
Sem receber nada,
a não ser a prenda
Da tua vontade
De me dares lírios
E rosas também.

II

Usas um vestido
Que é uma lembrança
Para o meu coração.
Usou-o outrora
Alguém que me ficou
Lembrada sem vista.
Tudo na vida
Se faz por recordações.
Ama-se por memória.
Certa mulher fez-nos ternura
Por um gesto que lembra a nossa mãe.
Certa rapariga fez-nos alegria
Por falar como a nossa irmã.
Certa criança arranca-nos da desatenção
Porque amámos uma mulher parecida com ela
Quando éramos jovens e não lhe falávamos.
Tudo é assim, mais ou menos,
O coração anda aos trambolhões.
Viver é desencontrar-se consigo mesmo.
No fim de tudo, se tiver sono, dormirei.
Mas gostava de te encontrar e que falássemos.
Estou certo que simpatizaríamos um com o outro.
Mas se não nos encontrarmos, guardarei o momento
Em que pensei que nos poderíamos encontrar.
Guardo tudo,
Guardo as cartas que me escrevem,
Guardo até as cartas que não me escrevem -
Santo Deus, a gente guarda tudo mesmo que não queira,
E o teu vestido azulinho, meu Deus, se eu pudesse atrair
Através dele até mim!
Enfim, tudo pode ser…
És tão nova – tão jovem, como diria o Ricardo Reis -
E a minha visão de ti explode literariamente,
E deito-me para trás na praia e rio e como um elemental inferior,
Arre, sentir cansa e a vida é quente quando o sol está alto.
Boa noite na Áustrália

Aniversário da morte de Fernando Pessoa Novembro 30, 2006

Faz hoje 71 anos que Fernando Pessoa faleceu em Lisboa. Um dos maiores poetas de todos os tempos, tão grande que não cabendo em si teve de criar vários, sob os seus heterónimos. Por este blog dispersam-se fragmentos da sua obra.

Assim podem ler:
Tabacaria
Liberdade
O guardador de rebanhos – X (Alberto Caeiro)
O guardador de rebanhos – XXI (Alberto Caeiro)
O guardador de rebanhos – XXVIII (ALlberto Caeiro)
O Tejo é mais belo …
Odes – Ricardo Reis
Cruz na porta da tabacaria
Fragmentos do Livro do desassossego – Bernardo Soares
Afinal a melhor maneira de viajar é sentir…
Todas as cartas de amor são…
Se te queres matar …
Dai-me rosas e lírios…
Sou vil, sou reles como toda a gente…
Não sei se é amor que tens
O que há em mim é sobretudo cansaço
Mar português
Ode marcial – h
Lycanthropy
Conselho
Para além da curva da estrada (Alberto Caeiro)
Sopra demais o vento

O Milagre das Rosas – Campos de Figueiredo Novembro 29, 2006

Valerio Castello : The Miracle of the Roses

Oil on canvas, 47,5 x 37,5 cm; The Hermitage, St. Petersburg

Trazia ouro aos Pobres… dava estrelas,
que no jardim azul do céu colhera,
mas, quando El-Rei Dinis desejou vê-las,
floriu, no seu regaço, a primavera.

- «Vêde», são rosas brancas, fui colhê-las
para os gafos, Senhor! Julgáveis que era
dinheiro em vez de flores? A Deus prouvera
que em oiro e pão pudesse convertê-las!»

Repete-se o milagre, eternamente:
caem do céu, às horas do poente,
rosas de oiro, vermelhas, a sangrar…

E à noite, é Ela sempre que, na treva,
sobre a linda Cidade medieva,
desfolha rosas brancas, ao luar!

José Campos de Figueiredo (n. Sernache, Coimbra, a 6 Mai 1899; m. em Coimbra a 29 Nov 1965)
