ALL things can tempt me from this craft of verse

Are You The New Person, Drawn Toward Me?

ARE you the new person drawn toward me?
To begin with, take warning–I am surely far different from what you suppose;
Do you suppose you will find in me your ideal?
Do you think it so easy to have me become your lover?
Do you think the friendship of me would be unalloy’d satisfaction?
Do you think I am trusty and faithful?
Do you see no further than this façade–this smooth and tolerant manner of me?
Do you suppose yourself advancing on real ground toward a real heroic man?
Have you no thought, O dreamer, that it may be all maya, illusion?

Walt Whitman

After Long Silence

Speech after long silence; it is right,
All other lovers being estranged or dead,
Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade,
The curtains drawn upon unfriendly night,
That we descant and yet again descant
Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song:
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom; young
We loved each other and were ignorant.

William Butler Yeats

Daí que tão alto
como faixa ou set de LP
Em dizeres d’agulha
re-versos
em rima
ou fiapo
,Re-ssentes
qu’é música
e entalhe
O qu’em toda vi-n-d’entala
:
Qual toca-discos
qu’emgasgos
estal’em dizer-mais
, infortúnios
qu’em grãos-de-giz
arranham os qu’ainda dizem
qu’a id’ ind’é em-feliz
.

When the drops dry they will be invisible.
