Estoy solo y no hay nadie en el hespejo.
Jorge Luis Borges
Siempre fuiste mi espejo, quiero decir que para verme tenía que mirarte.
Julio Cortázar
Laberinto
>> 20091126
No habrá nunca una puerta.
Estás adentro
y el alcázar abarca el universo
y no tiene ni anverso ni reverso
ni externo muro ni secreto centro.
No esperes que el rigor de tu camino
que tercamente se bifurca en otro,
que tercamente se bifurca en otro,
tendrá fin.
Es de hierro tu destino
como tu juez.
No aguardes la embestida
del toro que es un hombre y cuya extraña
forma plural da horror a la maraña
de interminable piedra entretejida.
No existe. Nada esperes. Ni siquiera
en el negro crepúsculo
la fiera.
Jorge Luis Borges
Laughter and promise
>> 20091125

I did not fall from the sky
I
nor descend like a plague of locusts
to drink color and strength from the earth
and I do not come like rain
as a tribute or symbol for earth's becoming
dark and open
sometimes I fall like night
softly
and terrible
only when I must die
in order to rise again.
I do not come like a secret warrior
with an unsheathed sword in my mouth
hidden behind my tongue
slicing my throat to ribbons
of service with a smile
while the blood runs
down and out
through holes in the two sacred mounds
on my chest.
I come like a woman
who I am
spreading out through nights
laughter and promise
and dark heat
warming whatever I touch
that is living
consuming
only
what is already dead.
Audre Lorde, "The Women of Dan Dance"

Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well tonight, we're going to sort it all out
For tonight it's the Meaning of Life.
What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time,
Are we just yolks?
Or perhaps we're just one of God's little jokes.
Well ça c'est the Meaning of Life.
Is life just a game where we make up the rules,
While we're searching for something to say,
Or are we just simply spiralling coils,
Of self-replicating DNA?
In this life, what is our fate?
Is there Heaven and Hell?
Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving or is it too late?
Well tonight here's the Meaning of Life.
For millions this life is a sad vale of tears,
Sitting round with nothing to say,
While scientists say we're just spiralling coils,
Of self-replicating DNA.
So just why, why are we here?
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
Well çe soir, for a change,
it will all be made clear,
For this is the Meaning of Life
c'est la sens de la vie,
This is the Meaning of Life.

In the northern Urals, where these leave behind vegetation to become velvety hills that blend into the horizon, seven giants majestically rise.
Seven stone colossi that, in the middle of nowhere, seem to have made a stop in their journey to contemplate the scenery from the top of a high plateau.
With heights varying from 30 to 42 meters, these seven "moais", that nature has molded during more than 200 million years, form one of the most impressive and magic geological legacies on the planet.

Cinco cosas
>> 20091104
Ahora me dejen tranquilo.
Ahora se acostumbren sin mí.
Yo voy a cerrar los ojos
Y sólo quiero cinco cosas,
cinco raices preferidas.
Una es el amor sin fin.
Lo segundo es ver el otoño.
No puedo ser sin que las hojas
vuelen y vuelvan a la tierra.
Lo tercero es el grave invierno,
la lluvia que amé, la caricia
del fuego en el frío silvestre.
En cuarto lugar el verano
redondo como una sandía.
La quinta cosa son tus ojos.
Neruda

nas paredes do meu quarto.
Sem vidros nem bambinelas
posso ver através delas
o mundo em que me reparto.
Por uma entra a luz do Sol,
por outra a luz do luar,
por outra a luz das estrelas
que andam no céu a rolar.
Por esta entra a Via Láctea
como um vapor de algodão,
por aquela a luz dos homens,
pela outra a escuridão.
Pela maior entra o espanto,
pela menor a certeza,
pela da frente a beleza
que inunda de canto a canto.
Pela quadrada entra a esperança
de quatro lados iguais,
quatro arestas, quatro vértices,
quatro pontos cardeais.
Pela redonda entra o sonho,
que as vigias são redondas,
e o sonho afaga e embala
à semelhança das ondas.
Por além entra a tristeza,
por aquela entra a saudade,
e o desejo, e a humildade,
e o silêncio, e a surpresa,
e o amor dos homens, e o tédio,
e o medo, e a melancolia,
e essa fome sem remédio
a que se chama poesia,
e a inocência, e a bondade,
e a dor própria, e a dor alheia,
e a paixão que se incendeia,
e a viuvez, e a piedade,
e o grande pássaro branco,
e o grande pássaro negro
que se olham obliquamente,
arrepiados de medo,
todos os risos e choros,
todas as fomes e sedes,
tudo alonga a sua sombra
nas minhas quatro paredes.
(...)
António Gedeão
