a atitude dos pacientes em relação à doença

(quadro de henri lebasque, "les deus baigneuses près de la plage", s/d)


"Os profissionais continuam a agir como se as doenças apanhassem as pessoas, em vez de entenderem que as pessoas apanham doenças por se tornarem susceptíveis às sementes da doença às quais estamos todos expostos constantemente. Apesar de os melhores clínicos terem tido sempre consciência disso, a medicina em geral raramente estudou as pessoas que não adoecem. A maior parte dos médicos raramente têm em consideração como a atitude de um paciente em relação à vida modela a quantidade e qualidade dessa vida." (1)

william shakespeare

(quadro de hippolyte petitjean, "femmes dans le foret", 1897)


"Shall I compare thee to a Summers day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough windes do shake the darling buds of Maie,
And Sommers lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd,
And every faire from faire some-time declines,
By chance, or natures changing course untrim'd:
But thy eternall Sommer shall not fade,
Nor loose possession of that faire thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wandr'st in his shade,
When in eternall lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." (1)

capacidade de resistência à doença

(quadro de henri toulouse-lautrec, "allegorie - le printemps de la vie", 1883)


"A família e a profissão médica deviam ser capazes de educar e instruir quanto ao comportamento de sobrevivência adequado quando a adversidade, sob a forma de doença, acontece na vida. A questão não se refere a viver eternamente nem a pôr Deus à prova, mas a utilizar todas as forças físicas e emocionais disponíveis para curar. A mente e o corpo não são unidades independentes, mas sim um sistema integrado. A forma como agimos e o que pensamos, comemos e sentimos relacionam-se com a nossa saúde. Os médicos deviam ser capazes de ensinar esse comportamento aos doentes." (1)

a noite abrir-nos-á

(quadro de paul nash, "paths", 1919)


1.

nada existe mais glorioso
que derramar sangue em
estado de graça:

assumimos que somos aquilo
que deus nos fez. seres de
terra. e não de fogo.
com mãos que crescem
e que sentem prazer. com
dedos que esfolam e que
vomitam debaixo de um poema.

existe sempre um grito,
um grito claro e de voz acesa,
que exalta e assume a morte -
a morte que é nossa e dos outros

e de quem entrar no domínio
dos nossos olhos.

philip pullman, excerto de the amber spyglass

(quadro de benton murdoch spruance, "resurrection", 1941)


"Pre-emptive penance and absolution were doctrines researched and developed by the Consistorial Court, but not known to the wider church. They involved doing penance for a sin not yet committed, intense and fervent penance accompanied by scourging and flagellation, so as to build up, as it were, a store of credit. When the penance had reached the appropriate level for a particular sin, the penitent was granted absolution in advance, though he might never be called on to commit the sin. It was sometimes necessary to kill people, for example: and it was so much less troubling for the assassin if he could do so in a state of grace." (1)

"tramp" (lowell fulsom / james mccracklin)

(quadro de ceri richards, "pianist", 1944/1945)

"Tramp!

What you call me?

Tramp.

You didn't!

You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.

Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know i'm a lover.

Matter of opinion.

That's all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.

You know what, Otis?

What?

You're country.

That's all right.

You straight from the Georgia woods.

That's good.

You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.

Haircut? Woman, you foolin'...ooh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo. All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun. Tramp!

You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.

What?

That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket. You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.

I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang, ooooooohhh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.

Well tell me.

I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun.

You're a tramp, Otis.

No I'm not.

I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.

What's wrong with that?

Look here. You ain't got no money.

I got everything.

You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.

I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, ...anything you want, Woman.

Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby.

Oh, you foolin'.

You're still a tramp.

That's all right.

You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.

That's all right.

You wear overalls. You need a haircut, Baby. Cut off some of that hair off your head. You think you a lover, huh?" (1)
