RAZÕES PORQUE NÃO SOU ATEU, Nº9:SAMUEL BECKETT (nascido a 13 de Abril de 1906)POZZO [Suddenly furious.] Have you not done tormenting me with your accursed time! It's abominable! When! When! One day, is that not enough for you, one day like any other day, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you ? [Calmer.] They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
Waiting For Godot, 1953

PREPARANDO A PAIXÃO E RESSURREIÇÃO DE CRISTO
Death, Be Not Proud
Death, be not proud, though some have callèd thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which yet thy pictures be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must low
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings and desperate men
And dost with poison, war and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then ?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
John Donne

É OFICIAL. Já existe o melhor disco de 1977 deste ano: chama-se Twelve Stops And Home, dos The Feeling. Soft Rock desavergonhado, perfeito para ouvir às escondidas e nunca confessá-lo. Sewn, a canção de avanço, é um guilty pleasure perfeito. Mais informações aqui.

A POESIA É QUE SALVA O DIA! ...e parece que hoje é dia mundial da dita. Para não fugir às celebrações, eis um dos meus poemas preferidos de sempre: Personal Helicon, de Seamus Heaney. Contém a mais bonita justificação do ofício poético, que tive a arrogância de sublinhar.
Personal Helicon
for Michael Longley
As a child, they could not keep me from wells
And old pumps with buckets and windlasses.
I loved the dark drop, the trapped sky, the smells
Of waterweed, fungus and dank moss.
One, in a brickyard, with a rotted board top.
I savoured the rich crash when a bucket
Plummeted down at the end of a rope.
So deep you saw no reflection in it.
A shallow one under a dry stone ditch
Fructified like any aquarium.
When you dragged out long roots from the soft mulch
A white face hovered over the bottom.
Others had echoes, gave back your own call
With a clean new music in it. And one
Was scaresome, for there, out of ferns and tall
Foxgloves, a rat slapped across my reflection.
Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime,
To stare, big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring
Is beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme
To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.

UM DOS MELHORES POEMAS DE UMA DAS MELHORES PRÉ-RAFAELITAS:CHRISTINA ROSSETTI*
Somewhere or Other
Somewhere or other there must surely be
The face not seen, the voice not heard,
The heart that not yet - never yet ? ah me!
Made answer to my word.
Somewhere or other, may be near or far;
Past land and sea, clean out of sight;
Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star
That tracks her night by night.
Somewhere or other, may be far or near;
With just a wall, a hedge, between;
With just the last leaves of the dying year
Fallen on a turf grown green.
*mais e melhor aqui.

É BOM NÃO ESTAR SÓZINHO ...e descobrir paixões comuns, como o jazz. Ao contrário do que muitos pensam, não é uma música «dificil»; dificil é escrever sobre ela. Mas há quem o faça bem. E outras músicas também são contempladas. Bem-vindos.

EM MODO REPEAT1, NA GRAFONOLA CASEIRA: WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN, ARTIC MONKEYS Eu confesso que desde há muito perdi a inocência em relação às next big things do circo pop. Mas continuo a achar que quando as canções são boas, é preciso esgotá-las. When The Sun Goes Down é um bom exemplo, uma crónica de costumes proletária, cantada com uma pint na mão e embrulhada em guitarras sujas. Os Artic Monkeys são aquilo que os Libertines tentaram ser, mas mais cultos e humorados. Muito bom, muito bom mesmo. Deixo a letra, que vale por si.So who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She don't do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate
And what a scummy manJ
ust give him half a chanceI bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences
And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!
Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down
And oh he must be up to something
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be
They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up
And she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don't stop in the winter, no and...
They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river, going out to town
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
What a scummy man
Just give him half a chanceI bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all
