Paul Klee e o Peixe de Lume

Klee - "The golden Fish", 1925, Hamburger Kunsthalle

Se repentinamente
a infânca me doesse a meio da oceânica noite
no espelho de rubra água cercada pela treva
onde nenhum rosto ousa reflecir-se brilharia
o minúsculo peixe de lume
e na obscuridade púrpura sua cabeça de ouro
incendiaria o tranparente interior das anénomas

as escamas em jade fulgurando
simulam um sol em cada sonho
vibra um búzio triste uma alga ou um peixe como este
cresce a partir do centro rubro da tela
acende e apaga o distante pulsar da infância

acordo em sobressalto
deparo com a subtil inteligência do peixe
imobilizado na magia barata dum bilhete postal
sei que está numa galeria de arte em hamburgo
deixa-se consumir pelo tempo
e pelo olhar dalgum visitante furtivo sonhador


Al Berto, "A Secreta Vida Das Imagens"

Avec le temps

Avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
on oublie le visage et l'on oublie la voix
le cœur, quand ça bat plus, c'est pas la peine d'aller
chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c'est très bien

avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
l'autre qu'on adorait, qu'on cherchait sous la pluie
l'autre qu'on devinait au détour d'un regard
entre les mots, entre les lignes et sous le fard
d'un serment maquillé qui s'en va faire sa nuit
avec le temps tout s'évanouit

avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
mêm' les plus chouett's souv'nirs ça t'as un' de ces gueules
à la gal'rie j'farfouille dans les rayons d'la mort
le samedi soir quand la tendresse s'en va tout' seule

avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
l'autre à qui l'on croyait pour un rhume, pour un rien
l'autre à qui l'on donnait du vent et des bijoux
pour qui l'on eût vendu son âme pour quelques sous
devant quoi l'on s'traînait comme traînent les chiens
avec le temps, va, tout va bien

avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
on oublie les passions et l'on oublie les voix
qui vous disaient tout bas les mots des pauvres gens
ne rentre pas trop tard, surtout ne prends pas froid

avec le temps...
avec le temps, va, tout s'en va
et l'on se sent blanchi comme un cheval fourbu
et l'on se sent glacé dans un lit de hasard
et l'on se sent tout seul peut-être mais peinard
et l'on se sent floué par les années perdues- alors vraiment
avec le temps on n'aime plus

Léo Ferré

O Melhor Pretexto

É tão frágil a vida,
tão efémero tudo!
(Não é verdade, amiga,
olhinhos-cor-de-musgo?)

E ao mesmo tempo é forte,
forte de veleidade
de resistir à morte
quanto maior a idade.

Assim, aos trinta e sete,
fechados alguns ciclos,
a vida ainda pede
mais sentimento, vínculos.

Não tanto os que nos deram
a fúria de viver,
como esses descobertos
depois de se saber

que a vida não é outra
senão a que fazemos
(e a vida é uma só,
pois jamais voltaremos).

Partidários da vida,
melhor: do que está vivo,
digamos 'não' a tudo
que tenha outro sentido.

E que melhor pretexto
(quem o saiba que o diga!)
teremos p'ra viver
senão a própria vida.
