Interior Portrait
You don't survive in me
Às vezes, encontro-me nas palavras dos outros. Mais raramente, nas minhas. Por pura coincidência. Em pura coincidência.







T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets, "Burnt Norton"(excerto)
,








Próximas vítimas:
Se calhar, o melhor é fugir às regras e deixar o "selinho" à disposição...



Now I'm quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.
The country is gray and
brown and white in trees,
snows and skies of laughter
always diminishing, less funny
not just darker, not just gray.
It may be the coldest day of
the year, what does he think of
that? I mean, what do I? And if I do,
perhaps I am myself again.
Frank O'Hara (Excerto do poema "Mayakovsky")
.














Francisco José Viegas, As Imagens

I am a good friend. I’m easily
taken by the hand, and I do what
others ask of me, well and cheerfully.
But my secret soul that does not lie
to itself murmurs its own words.
And sometimes a god calls me and wants
me to listen to him. With the thoughts
that are born in me then, with my heart
beating inside, with the intensity of my pain,
I reject all likeness with other men.
I have this privilege. And I will keep it.
Tradução inglesa de George Hochfield and Leonard Nathan
