“Acquainted with the Night
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-bye;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.”

“Acredita que nenhum mestre veneziano possui esta poesia, esta fé, esta tua sensibilidade, nem a pureza e o brilho da tua pintura. Mas os quadros deles são muito mais persuasivos, aproximam-se mais da verdadeira vida. Em vez de pintarem como se estivessem no alto de um minarete, de uma altura suficiente que os faça desdenhar aquilo que os ocidentais chamam perspectiva, eles põem-se, pelo contrário, ao nível da rua, ou no interior do quarto de um príncipe, para pintarem a cama, a colcha, o escritório, o espelho, o seu leopardo, a sua filha, as suas moedas de ouro. Eles põem lá tudo, como sabes. Aliás, nem tudo o que eles fazem me seduz. Indispõem-me e acho mesquinha, sobretudo, aquela maneira de quererem a todo o custo representar o mundo tal como parece. Mas há tanta sedução no resultado que eles obtêm com esse método! Porque eles pintam o que vêem, o que o seu olho vê, exactamente como visão o recebe, enquanto nós pintamos o que contemplamos.”

“Acredita-se que nós seres humanos compartilhamos dos mes mos e diversos sentimentos e reações ao mundo, que é o que pos sibilita existir entendimento, uns com os outros, e que constitui a fundação da nossa humanidade compartilhada. Na tentativa de combater certos estereótipos dos psicanalistas, como um cientis ta desinteressado, insensível, ao invés de um ser humano que tem vida e que respira, alguns terapeutas sugeriram que o analista de veria ser regularmente empático com o paciente, ressaltando o que eles têm em comum, para estabelecer uma aliança terapêutica sólida.
Embora esses profissionais tenham boas intenções (por exemplo, acabar com a crença da objetividade do analista), as expressões de empatia podem enfatizar a humanidade em que vivem analista e paciente, de modo a encobrir ou superar aspectos humanos que não são compartilhados.”
