Vi ontem este mesmo ensaio num documentário soubre Alain Oulman na RTP 2.
Porque estas duas pessoas brilham e dão sentido às coisas, lembrei-me do que me ensinou este livro: All Things Shining.
Amália e Oulman estão inscritos no nosso modo de ser, como as tatuagens de Queequeg.

Na Antena 2, hoje, recordam a morte de Mário de Sá-Carneiro e eu re-recordei-me de alguém que já morreu e que gostava de dizer, e dizia com muita graça e verdadeira convicção, este seu poema:
Quando eu morrer batam em latas,
Rompam aos saltos e aos pinotes,
Façam estalar no ar chicotes,
Chamem palhaços e acrobatas!
Que o meu caixão vá sobre um burro
Ajaezado à andaluza...
A um morto nada se recusa,
Eu quero por força ir de burro.
Fica a lembrança, e a esperança de também ir de burro.

Esta gente
Esta gente cujo rosto
ás vezes luminoso
E outras vezes tosco
ás vezes luminoso
E outras vezes tosco
Ora me lembra escravos
Ora me lembra reis
Ora me lembra reis
Faz renascer meu gosto
De luta e de combate
Contra o abutre e a cobra
O porco e o milhafre.
De luta e de combate
Contra o abutre e a cobra
O porco e o milhafre.

Imagens que passais pela retina
Dos meus olhos, porque não vos fixais?
Que passais como a água cristalina
Por uma fonte para nunca mais!...
Ou para o lago escuro onde termina
Vosso curso, silente de juncais,
E o vago medo angustioso domina,
_ Porque ides sem mim, não me levais?
Sem vós o que são os meus olhos abertos?
_ O espelho inútil, meus olhos pagãos!
Aridez de sucessivos desertos...
Fica sequer, sombra das minhas mãos,
Flexão casual de meus dedos incertos,
_ Estranha sombra em movimentos vãos.
Camilo Pessanha, Clepsidra

There's an art
to everything. How
the rain means
April and an ongoingness like
that of song until at last
it ends. A centuries-old
set of silver handbells that
once an altar boy swung,
processing...You're the same
wilderness you've always
been, slashing through briars,
the bracken
of your invasive
self. So he said,
in a dream. But
the rest of it—all the rest—
was waking: more often
than not, to the next
extravagance. Two blackamoor
statues, each mirroring
the other, each hoisting
forever upward his burden of
hand-painted, carved-by-hand
peacock feathers. Don't
you know it, don't you know
I love you, he said. He was
shaking. He said:
I love you. There's an art
to everything. What I've
done with this life,
what I'd meant not to do,
or would have meant, maybe, had I
understood, though I have
no regrets. Not the broken but
still-flowering dogwood. Not
the honey locust, either. Not even
the ghost walnut with its
non-branches whose
every shadow is memory,
memory...As he said to me
once, That's all garbage
down the river, now. Turning,
but as the utterly lost—
because addicted—do:
resigned all over again. It
only looked, it—
It must only look
like leaving. There's an art
to everything. Even
turning away. How
eventually even hunger
can become a space
to live in. How they made
out of shamelessness something
beautiful, for as long as they could.
