per saecula saeculorum
A
consigo se encarregou de refazer:
. . . . . . colocou um momento
uma analogia
uma deferência
uma paisagem
outra referência
uma imprecisão
de novo reverenciou
e afinal num contrargumento circular
se indeterminou . . . . . . . . . .
compacta subatômica
pousou a poesia
um átimo

sayings
‘As
much as by wisdom as by war’ – this saying is on a wall of the Old Royal Naval
College at Greenwich.
The Thames is a tidal river. This makes the river seems tiny and muddy during certain parts of the day.
Tides are due to the moon’s gravity force. When Earth aligns with the moon and the sun altogether the tides go highest. That’s what I’ve learned in the Maritime Museum at Greenwich. The explanation is also available over the internet.
This
is a pretty sunny day. When the sky über London is pale blue as it is today one
can count jets by the dozen. One can also spot a couple of choppers hovering
around.
London
School of Economics. The staff’s restaurant is divided up so that lecturers
have a dining room and professors have another one. Perhaps this is the whole
history.
From
Putney to Waterloo Station one passes by the cover of Pink Floyd’s album
Animals. It takes fifteen minutes from Putney to Waterloo Station by train.
That
a lot of Londoners live over old burial grounds is written somewhere between
Putney and Waterloo Station.
That
a female artist of the sixties or the seventies shot paint bags hanging in
front of a white canvas to get her art work done is in the Tate Modern. She the
artist said she was shooting at men family government state society. At that
time she was a young gorgeous artist. The result on the canvas is quite
impressive.
Camden
Town doesn’t really have cool different stuff to buy.
Saint
Albans was once a battlefield where the Romans defeated barbarian tribes and
that is for sure.
Ana
Cristina Camargos lived in London for a while years ago. That she passed away
last August one week before she would be forty is plainly the saddest thing.
‘Nothing
is certain but change’ – the most interesting lesson one can take
from London’s Museum of Natural History is a saying on a wall.

o mar e o canavial [joão cabral de melo neto]
O que o mar sim aprende
do canavial:
a elocução horizontal de
seu verso;
a geórgica de cordel,
ininterrupta,
narrada em voz e
silêncio, paralelos.
O que o mar não aprende
do canavial:
a veemência passional da
preamar;
a mão-de-pilão das ondas
na areia,
moída e miúda, pilada do
que pilar.
O que o canavial sim aprende do mar:
o avançar em linha
rasteira da onda;
o espraiar-se minucioso,
de líquido,
alagando cova a cova
onde se alonga.
O que o canavial não
aprende do mar:
o desmedido do
derramar-se cana;
o comedimento do
latifúndio do mar,
que menos lastradamente
se derrama.

a educação pela pedra [joão cabral de melo neto]
Uma
educação pela pedra; por lições;
para
aprender da pedra, frequentá-la;
captar
sua voz inenfática, impessoal
(pela
de dicção ela começa as aulas).
A
lição de moral, sua resistência fria
ao
que flui e a fluir, a ser maleada;
a
de poética, sua carnadura concreta;
1a
de economia, seu adensar-se compacta;
lições
da pedra (de fora para dentro,
cartilha
muda), para quem soletrá-la.
Outra
educação pela pedra: no Sertão
(de
dentro para fora, e pré-didática).
No
sertão a pedra não sabe lecionar,
e
se lecionasse, não ensinaria nada;
lá
não se aprende a pedra: lá a pedra,
uma
pedra de nascença, entranha a alma.

male gorillas [ruth stone]
At the doughnut shop
twenty-three silverbacks
are lined up at the bar,
sitting on the stools.
It's morning coffee and trash day.
The waitress has a heavy feeling face,
considerate with carmine lipstick.
She doesn't brown my fries.
I have to stand at the counter
and insist on my order.
I take my cup of coffee to a small
inoffensive table along the wall.
At the counter the male chorus line
is lined up tight.
I look at their almost identical butts;
their buddy hunched shoulders,
the curve of their ancient spines.
They are methodically browsing
in their own territory.
This data goes into that vast
confused library, the female mind.
