Não precisamos de muita coisa

Não precisamos de muita coisa,
um pouco de sol e as Berlengas no horizonte,
a tarde escorrendo na cafetaria,
os nossos olhos lentos e as vidraças
subitamente acesas no esplendor das bátegas.
Patos selvagens erguendo-se da lagoa
quando sairmos e ao vento frio oferecermos
a transparência dos lábios cercados
pela melancolia da tarde que se nos finda .
E à noite talvez as mãos
ardidas de saudade e em surdina
uma canção de Ella e Louis Armstrong.
p. 27, Sob os teus pés a terra, Soledade Santos

Mesmo que os advogados fiquem sem emprego
"Quereis prevenir os delitos? Fazei com que as leis sejam claras, simples e que toda a força da nação se concentre em defendê-las e nenhuma parte dela seja empregada para destruí-las. Fazei com que as leis favoreçam menos a classe dos homens do que os próprios homens."
Pp. 131, Dos delitos e das penas de Cesare Beccaria

"(...) Sigam o meu conselho e voltem ao estado normal... O senhor Boi, grandalhão... e a Senhora Rã, pequenota... E se aspiram a ser iguais conquistem a liberdade de não serem idênticos e de poderem atirar as desigualdades à cara um do outro... Ou então...
Mas aqui calou-se enrodilhado nas palavras que mal roçavam pela verdade fugidia... E, envergonhado, lá os deixou (a Rã a aumentar... o Boi a diminuir...), disposto a não se deter mais durante a travessia do país da Fábula — farto de filosofices e, sobretudo, com uma fome diabólica."
Aventuras de João sem Medo, José Gomes Ferreira

O livro-cobra
"O livro-cobra vai largando a pele pelos lugares e mãos de passagem, enrosca-se nos braços do leitor que o lê por comunicação táctil. O livro - cobra muda de pele e o leitor é renovado. Pele contra pela. Por osmose um mesmo tecido nasce da morte do anterior. Mas o livro - cobra hiberna e, enquanto hiberna enrosca-se nos buracos da memória, nos interstícios da matéria negra, até novo solstício – só então renasce.. O leitor eterno vive no plano infinito que este livro desenrola. Ou o livro nos infinitos planos da temporalidade do leitor?"Manuel Silva-Terra, Lira, p. 12

Revelação

Meu o ofício incerto das palavras
a evocação do tempo
o recurso ao fogo
Meu o provisório olhar
sobre este rio
o fascínio consentido das margens
sitiando a distância
Meus são os dedos que em tumulto
modelam capitéis
de sombra e arestas
Mas oculto na brisa
és Tu quem percorre o poema
despertando as aves
e dando nome aos peixes
José Tolentino Mendonça

To His Coy Mistress
Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime
We would sit down and think which way
To walk and pass our long love's day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges' side
Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, Lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.
But at my back I always hear
Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave's a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapt power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Andrew Marvell
