em especial para o APS, do blogue Arpose, por me dar a conhecer poetas e músicos tão belos:
"Não deixes que um só dia termine sem colher um segredo, grande ou breve." Juan Ramón Jimenez (1881-1958), in Eternidades (1918)
"Encontros e palavras há, que calam mais fundo.
No tempo, e depois, ficam a meias águas, abandonadas às correntes: ora sobem um pouco, ora vão descendo, suavemente, até às areias mais profundas da memória. Invisíveis parecem e, sem darmos por elas, regressam, às vezes, à tona das águas limpas. E brilham, rejuvenescidas e certeiras, na alegria do sol."
Especialmente para o APS.
Parece-me que esta é uma boa versão em inglês.
Bom dia! :-)
