O dia em que nasci ... - Assis Pacheco

Guardando o Rebanho - pintura de Silva Porto


O dia em que nasci meu pai cantava
versos que inventam os pastores do monte
com palavras de lã fiada fina
cordeiro lírio neve tojo fonte

esta é uma velha história de família
para dizer como ele e eu chegámos
à raiz mais profunda do afecto
da qual nunca jamais nos separámos

nem Deus feito menino teve um pai
que o abraçasse e lhe cantasse assim
desde a primeira hora até ao fim

fui vê-lo ao hospital quando morria
olhos parados num sorriso leve
tojo cordeiro lírio fonte neve

As putas da Avenida - Assis Pacheco

Eu vi gelar as putas da Avenida
ao griso de Janeiro e tive pena
do que elas chamam em jargão a vida
com um requebro triste de açucena

vi-as às duas e às três falando
como se fala antes de entrar em cena
o gesto já compondo à voz de mando
do director fatal que lhes ordena

essa pose de flor recém-cortada
que para as mais batidas não é nada
senão fingirem lírios da Lorena

mas a todas o griso ia aturdindo
e eu que do trabalho vinha vindo
calçando as luvas senti pena

Fernando Pessoa morreu há 70 anos.

Eu queria ter o tempo ... Alberto Caeiro

Eu queria ter o tempo e o sossego suficientes
Para não pensar em coisa nenhuma,
Para nem me sentir viver,
Para só saber de mim nos olhos dos outros, reflectido.

Liberdade - Fernando Pessoa

Ai que prazer
não cumprir um dever.
Ter um livro para ler
e não o fazer!
Ler é maçada,
estudar é nada.
O sol doira sem literatura.

O rio corre bem ou mal,
sem edição original.
E a brisa, essa, de tão naturalmente matinal
como tem tempo, não tem pressa...

Livros são papéis pintados com tinta.
Estudar é uma coisa em que está indistinta
A distinção entre nada e coisa nenhuma.

Quanto melhor é quando há bruma.
Esperar por D. Sebastião,
Quer venha ou não!

Grande é a poesia, a bondade e as danças...
Mas o melhor do mundo são as crianças,
Flores, música, o luar, e o sol que peca
Só quando, em vez de criar, seca.

E mais do que isto
É Jesus Cristo,
Que não sabia nada de finanças,
Nem consta que tivesse biblioteca...

Prisons in Outsourcing / Prisões em Outsourcing

The United States of America are, without no doubt, a pioneer in advanced solutions. Now, they have several prisons out of the country. The solutions of "outsourcing" arrive at the defense and the security. CIA could not deny this truth. The suspicions fall on Poland and Romania. See more in EuroActiv.com

Os Estados Unidos da América é um pais, sem qualquer espécie de dúvida, na primeira linha da inovação. Não é que agora têm várias prisões fora do país? É o "outsourcing" a chegar à defesa e à segurança. A Cia não pôde desmentir esta verdade! As suspeitas recaem sobre a Polónia e a Roménia. Ver mais em EuroActiv.com.

MISERERE - Andrés Bello

¡Piedad, piedad, Dios mío!
¡Que tu misericordia me socorra!
Según la muchedumbre
de tus clemencias, mis delitos borra.

De mis iniquidades
lávame más y más; mi depravado
corazón quede limpio
de la horrorosa mancha del pecado.

Porque, Señor, conozco
toda la fealdad de mi delito,
y mi conciencia propia
me acusa y contra mí levanta el grito.

Pequé contra Ti solo;
a tu vista obré mal; para que brille
tu justicia, y vencido,
el que te juzgue tiemble y se arrodille.

Objeto de tus iras
nací, de iniquidades mancillado,
y en el materno seno
cubrió mi ser la sombra del pecado.

En la verdad te gozas
y para más rubor y más afrenta,
tesoros me mostraste
de oculta celestial sabiduría.

Pero con el hisopo
me rociarán, y ni una mancha leve
tendré ya; lavárasme,
y quedaré más blanco que la nieve.

Sonarán tus acentos
de consuelo y de paz en mis oídos,
y celeste alegría
conmoverá mis huesos.

Aparta, pues, aparta
tu faz, ¡oh, Dios!, de mi maldad horrenda
rastro de culpa por tu enojo encienda.

En mis entrañas cría
un corazón que con ardiente afecto
te busque; un alma pura,
enamorada de lo justo y recto.

De tu dulce presencia,
en que al lloroso pecador recibes,
no me arrojes airado
ni de tu santa inspiración me prives.

Restáurame en tu gracia,
que es del alma salud, vida y contento;
y al débil pecho infunde
de un ánimo real el noble aliento:
haré que el hombre injusto
de su razón conozca el extravío;
le mostraré tu senda,
y a tu ley santa volverá al impío.

Mas líbrame de sangre,
¡mi Dios, mi Salvador! ¡Inmensa fuente
de piedad! Y mi lengua
loará tu justicia eternamente.

Desatarás mis labios,
si santo un pecador que llora alcanza,
y gozosa a las gentes
anunciará mi lengua tu alabanza.

Que si víctima fueran
gratas a Ti, las inmolará luego;
pero no es sacrificio
que te deleita el que consume el fuego.

Un corazón doliente
es la expiación que a tu justicia agrada:
la víctima que aceptas
es un alma contrita y humillada.

Vuelve a Sión tu benigno
rostro primero y tu piedad amante
y sus muros humilde
Jerusalén, Señor, al fin levante.

Y de puras ofrendas
se colmarán tus aras y propicio
recibirás un día
el grande inmaculado sacrificio.

Andrés Bello (n. Caracas 29.11.1781; m. Santiago de Chile, 15.10.1865)

Porto sobe ao poleiro com ajuda do Sr. Costa (que não é pinto)...

Gil Vicente 0 - 1 Porto

Primeiros toques na bola e golo do Porto não estava passado ainda meio minuto. Cruzamento de Quaresma da esquerda e Lucho de cabeça a facturar. Foi o golo mais rápido da Liga. O Gil Vicente que pensava que podia usufruir do estado pesado do terreno para defender e partir para o contra-ataque via a sua estratégia mudar radicalmente mal o jogo tinha começado. Aos 19' o Porto desfruta de outra oportunidade com Lisandro Lopez isolado mas Jorge Baptista mesmo não interceptando a bola a atrasar o avançado portista que depois não conseguiu concretizar.

Passados os primeiros 25 minutos o Porto achou que bastava defender bem e a iniciativa passou a ser do Gil Vicente que acabou a primeira parte melhor. Ainda na primeira parte destaque para mais um "favor" do Sr. Costa (que não pinto) mas sim António. Um penalty nítido de César Peixoto sobre Carlitos ficou sem punição. E aí vai o nosso campeonato. Na Luz ontem dois penalties a favor do Benfica não assinalados. Em Alvalade com o resultado em zero a zero o árbitro perdoa o 2º. amarelo a Carlos Martins que veio a ser o homem do jogo. Aqui em Barcelos um penalty por marcar contra o Porto. Depois surpreendam-se com o Porto em 1º. o Sporting em 4º. e o Benfica em 6º.

Bem na 2ª. parte o Porto começou outra vez melhor. Jorge Baptista tem de intervir a um remate de Lucho Gonzalez. O Gil Vicente mexe na equipa. Adriaanse tarda a fazê-lo e nos últimos dez minutos duas oportunidades flagrantes para o Gil Vicente empatar. Primeiro num canto Lisandro Lopez tira a bola de cabeça em cima da linha de golo, noutra jogada Carlos Carneiro ganha no alto a Vítor Baía e depois outro gilista, Gregory atira de cabeça por cima sem guarda-redes na baliza.

Só mais uma referencia para o árbitro. Deu 4 minutos de desconto. Os dois primeiros foram gastos a assistir Baía no lance acima descrito. Pois bem aos 5' 25'' extra o Gil Vicente ganha um canto que o árbitro não deixa marcar acabando o jogo.

Jogo mais lutado do que jogado o que se compreende face ao estado do tempo, mas o empate era o resultado mais justo.

Almas Irmãs - Olegário Mariano

Cigarra! Eu sou feliz quando imagino
sermos os dois irmãos no mesmo fado:
canto as minhas canções desde menino...
Quem canta fica menos desgraçado.

De almas unidas e de braço dado,
Vamos de desatino em desatino...
Somos pobres os dois, mas o Destino
deu-nos astros no céu e ouro no prado.

Cantas para dar vida à natureza.
Eu canto para ver se a alma se esquece
dessa ronda noturna de tristeza.

Somos iguais no sonho que enobrece:
nosso eterno motivo de Beleza
é dar felicidade a quem merece.
