Oxfordshire

I want the good, I want the bad, and in the end I want nothing.
I toss in bed, uncomfortable on my right side, on my left side,
And on my consciousness of existing.
I’m universally uncomfortable, metaphysically uncomfortable,
But what’s even worse is my headache.
That’s more serious than the meaning of the universe.

Once, while walking in the country around Oxford,
I saw up ahead, beyond a bend in the road,
A church steeple towering above the houses of a hamlet or village.
The photographic image of that non-event has remained with me
Like a horizontal wrinkle marring a trouser’s crease.
Today it seems relevant...
From the road I associated that steeple with spirituality,
The faith of all ages, and practical charity.
When I arrived at the village, the steeple was a steeple
And, what’s more, there it was.

You can be happy in Australia, as long as you don’t go there.

Oxfordshire

Quero o bem, e quero o mal, e afinal não quero nada.
Estou mal deitado sobre a direita, e mal deitado sobre a esquerda
E mal deitado sobre a consciência de existir.
Estou universalmente mal, metafisicamente mal,
Mas o pior é que me dói a cabeça.
Isso é mais grave que a significação do universo.

Uma vez, ao pé de Oxford, num passeio campestre,
Vi erguer-se, de uma curva da estrada, na distância próxima
A torre-velha de uma igreja acima de casas da aldeia ou vila.
Ficou-me fotográfico esse incidente nulo
Como uma dobra transversal escangalhando o vinco das calças.
Agora vem a propósito…
Da estrada eu previa espiritualidade a essa torre de igreja
Que era a fé de todas as eras, e a eficaz caridade.
Da vila, quando lá cheguei, a torre da igreja era a torre da igreja,
E, ainda por cima, estava ali.

É-se feliz na Austrália, desde que lá se não vá.

© 1931, Álvaro de Campos (Fernando Pessoa)

BRICK POETRY

All equal ; all different ...

All equal ; all different ... and getting green

All equal ; all different ... and multiplying 
----------------------------------------------------------
MORTE EM VIDA

Um dia mais passou e ao passar
Que pensei ou li, que foi criado?
Nada! Outro dia passou desperdiçado!
Cada hora já morta ao despontar!

Nada fiz. O tempo me fugiu
E à beleza nem uma estátua ergui!
Na mente firme nem credo ou sonho vi
E a alma inútil em vão se consumiu.

Então me caberá sempre ficar
Qual grão de areia na praia pousado,
Coisa sujeita ao vento, entregue ao mar?

Ah, esse algo a sofrer e a desejar,
Inda menos que um ser inanimado
Sempre aquém do que podia alcançar!

Alexander Search-(Fernando Pessoa) 
1906

SOME BOOKS on WILLIAM BLAKE

Travelers repose and dream among my leaves.

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.

Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.

The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel'd to heaven is no artist.

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.

If a thing loves, it is infinite.

Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
