“I. 92
Como um belo tornado a emoção vitaliza
o que vai demolindo - um rosto, uma paisagem,
Tróias inteiras ao redor... Mas, na estiagem,
enquanto o vendaval vai retornando à brisa,
a alma dá-se conta do que volatiliza
um coração: o ser vem sempre de passagem,
sempre de supetão entre o reflexo e a imagem,
e é impossível retê-lo porque ele não precisa
nem de que o amem nem de quem, buscando amá-lo,
mal consegue entrevê-lo. A crina de um cavalo
iluminada de repente pela lua
desaparece e a noite esquece-a e continua.
A beleza é fugaz porque é apenas um halo
e o ser uma nudez que não sabe andar nua.”

And with Thomas Tallis on my iPod, I would shake hands with Death.”
