15 de Julho - Citação do dia

O Soldado Morto

Os infinitos céus fitam seu rosto
Absoluto e cego
E a brisa agora beija a sua boca
Que nunca mais há-de beijar ninguém.

Tem as duas mãos côncavas ainda
Da possessão do impulso de promessa
Dos seus ombros desprende-se uma espera
Que dividida na tarde se dispersa.

E a luz, as horas, as colinas
São como pranto, em volta do seu rosto
Porque ele foi jogado e foi perdido
E no céu passam aves repentinas.

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

So apt, at this time when military conflict is cranking up yet again in the middle east. If I can stand it, I think I'll listen to Jim Morrison's "Unknown Soldier" again later...

Mybe it's time some talented poet writes an ode to the Unknown Civilian, since they've been the main targets these las few days. :((

No really a propos, nowhere man, I loved what you did with my cats.

Tee-hee! A bit wicked really, what we Brits call 'taking a liberty'! But glad you like it. More please!

Seriously, I've had no radio/TV news today (sounds like a drug fix, which it isn't)and I fel distinctly edgy to know what's going on up in those northern Galilee mountains and beyond.

Unkown civilians...what a barbaric week this has been! You have to have some deep sickness in your soul to plan the planting of bombs on 7 rush-hour trains, then execute the plan. To what end, other than nourishing that deep sickness? Picasso left us that most lasting visual legacy in Guernica.
