Poemas

“ABC

Jamais saberei
o que A. pensava de mim.
Se B. acabou por me perdoar.
Por que razão fingia C. que tudo estava bem.
Qual a quota-parte de D. no silêncio de E.
O que esperava F. se acaso algo esperava.
Por que fingia G. sabendo de tudo.
O que tinha H. a esconder.
O que queria I. acrescentar.
Se o facto de eu estar por perto,
teve algum significado
para J. e K. e para o resto do alfabeto.”

Wisława Szymborska

“Deixe que as pessoas que nunca encontraram o verdadeiro amor
continuem dizendo que ele não existe. Esta crença vai fazer com que seja mais fácil para eles viver e morrer.”

“O sofrimento (capítulo três)
não insulta o corpo.
A morte
chega com o sono.

E vais sonhar
que nem é preciso respirar,
que o silêncio sem ar
não é uma música má,
pequeno como uma fagulha,
a um toque te apagarás.”

Wisława Szymborska

Poemas

Poems New and Collected (1998), No End of Fun (1967)

“"There's nothing new under the sun": that's what you wrote, Ecclesiastes. But you yourself were born new under the sun. And the poem you created is also new under the sun, since no one wrote it down before you. And all your readers are also new under the sun, since those who lived before you couldn't read your poem. And that cypress under which you're sitting hasn't been growing since the dawn of time. It came into being by way of another cypress similar to yours, but not exactly the same.”
