Coincidencias, o que sao?
Hoje como esta' um frio que ate' a testa doi, vinha eu de Harvard square para casa, uns meros 500m, e parei no caminho na harvard bookstore para me aquecer. Peguei no primeiro livro, dum Walcott que e' premio Nobel e que eu nao conhecia de todo. Abro ao acaso e eis o que ele me diz:
. . . you who foresaw
ambition as a searing meteor
will fumble a damp match and, smiling, settle
for the dry wheezing of a dented kettle,
for vision narrower than a louvre’s gap . . .
until the night when you can really sleep,
measuring how imagination
ebbs, conventional as any water clerk
who weighs the force of lightly falling rain . . .
("nearing forty", Derek Walcott)
Achei bonito, e mesmo pertinente. Coincidencia, ou providencia?
