Stare. It is the way to educate your eye and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.

herberto helder

É chamado rio tejo

pelo amor dentro.

Vejo as pontes escorrendo...

ouço os sinos da treva.

As cordas esticadas dos peixes que violinam a água.

É nas barcas que se atravessa o mundo.

As barcas batem, gritam.

Minha vida atravessa a cegueira,

chega a qualquer lado.

Barca alta, noite demente, amor ao meio.

Amor absolutamente ao meio.

Eu respiro nas quilhas. É forte

o cheiro do rio tejo.

“There are two essential kinds of loneliness: that of not having found someone to love, and that of having been deprived of the one you did love. The first kind is worse. Nothing can compare to the loneliness of the soul in adolescence.”

song by bob dylan

When did you leave heaven?

How could they let you go?
How is everything in heaven?
I like to know

When did you leave heaven?
For all these earthly things
Where did you hide your halo?
Where did you lose your wings?

How, how they miss you
Can you get back in?
And if I, if I should kissed you
Would it be a sin?

'Cause I am only human
And you're so divine
When did you leave heaven?
Angel of mine

How I want to know how
How they miss you?
And can, can you get back in?
And if I, if I should kissed you, now
Would it be a sin?

I am only human
And you're so divine
When did you leave heaven, angel?
Angel, when did you leave heaven?
Angel of mine

ao meu grande e especial amigo TPS

And no more shall we part
It will no longer be necessary
And no more will I say, dear heart
I am alone and as she has left me
And no more shall we part
The contracts are drawn up
The ring is locked upon the finger
And never again will my letters start
Sadly or in the depths of winter
And no more shall we part
All the hatchets have been buried now
And all of birds will sing to your
Beautiful heart upon the bough
And no more shall we part
Your chain of command has been silence now
And all of those birds would've sung
To your beautiful heart, anyhow
Lord, stay by me, don't go down
I will never be free, if I'm not free now
Lord, stay by me and don't go down
I never was free, what are you talking about?
For no more shall we part and no more shall we part

Os homens não olham para as mulheres que acabaram de amar porque têm medo. Têm medo no que podem encontrar no fundo dos olhos delas.

Nós estamos mesmo no princípio, vê tu.
Como antes de tudo. Com
Mil sonhos atrás de nós e sem acto.
