desassossego

viver por interposta pessoa. pessoa em pessoa intraposta. transpessoal depois de transposta.

and the last from questions of travel

what childishness is it that while there's a breath of life
in our bodies, we are determined to rush
to see the sun the other way around?
The tiniest green hummingbird in the world?
To stare at some inexplicable old stonework,
inexplicable and impenetrable,
at any view,
instantly seen and always, always delightful?
...
But surely it would have been a pity
not to have seen the trees along this road,
really exaggerated in their beauty,
not to have seen them gesturing
like noble pantomimists, robed in pink.
. . .

more bishop i.e. more travel questions

Should we have stayed at home and thought of here?
Where should we be today?
Is it right to be watching strangers in a play
in this strangest of theaters?
…
Oh, must we dream our dreams
and have them, too?
And have we room
for one more folded sunset, still quite warm?

questions of travel

Is it lack of imagination that makes us come
to imagined places, not just stay at home?
Or could Pascal have been entirely right
about just sitting quietly in one's room?

Continent, city, country, society:
the choice is never wide and never free.
And here, or there... No. Should we have stayed at home,
wherever that may be?

olhando as transparências da ana vieira vê-se o mundo, vê-se a artista e vê-se a si própria.

 

gosto tanto das 'coisas' da ana vieira: das transparências às envolvências, passando pelos cortes e recortes, tudo nela me convoca à fusão entre pensamento e sentimento. leve o peso da sua gravidade. aqui em dois tons de azul.
