"a casa" (vinicius de moraes)

(imagem de casapueblo, que foi idealizada pelo arquitecto e artista plástico carlos paez vilaró. o poema de vinicius de moraes abaixo foi inspirado por esta casa. aqui)


"Era uma casa muito engraçada
Não tinha teto, não tinha nada
Ninguém podia entrar nela, não
Porque na casa não tinha chão
Ninguém podia dormir na rede
Porque na casa não tinha parede
Ninguém podia fazer pipi
Porque penico não tinha ali

Mas era feita com muito esmero
na rua dos bobos numero zero" (1)

"dry grass & shadows" (alela diane menig)

(pintura de franz kline, "kitska", circa 1949/1950)


"There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed
They do not wither in the morning light
I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows

Thinking I'd like to look at your teeth lined up in perfect rows
A maze of children feeding orchard trees
Where the flat lands stretch inside your mouth
And when you laugh all the star thistles stumble out
The flat lands stretch inside your mouth
And when you laugh all the star-thistles stumble out

Strong spines of valley hills all overgrown in gold
Look softer than a spool of old silk thread
But if we walked down with our feet
I'd be pulling spines and barbs and fox tails from your skin
Oh, if we walked down with our feet
I'd be pulling spines and barbs and fox tails from your skin

There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed
They do not wither in the morning light
I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows
I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows" (1)

"atmosphere" (ian curtis / bernard albrecht / stephen morris / peter hook)

(pintura de james egleson, "dark voices" (19669


"Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away." (1)

"Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming we're finally on our own
this summer I hear the drumming four dead in Ohio

Gotta get down to it soldiers are gunning us down
should of been done long ago
what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
how can you run when you know?

"white christmas" (irving berlin)

(pintura de ernest fiene, "the connecticut river farm view", circa 1935)


"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white" (1)
