Basta-me um pequeno gesto,
feito de longe e de leve,
para que venhas comigo
e eu para sempre te leve...
- mas só esse eu não farei.
Uma palavra caída
das montanhas dos instantes
desmancha todos os mares
e une as terras mais distantes...
- palavra que não direi.
Para que tu me adivinhes,
entre os ventos taciturnos,
apago meus pensamentos,
ponho vestidos noturnos,
- que amargamente inventei.
E, enquanto não me descobres,
os mundos vão navegando
nos ares certos do tempo,
até não se sabe quando...
e um dia me acabarei.
Cecília Meireles
PINDARO

Whoever you are, I fear you are walking the walks of dreams,
I fear these supposed realities are to melt from under your feet and hands,
Even now your features, joys, speech, house, trade, manners,
troubles, follies, costume, crimes, dissipate away from you,
Your true soul and body appear before me.
They stand forth out of affairs, out of commerce, shops, work,
farms, clothes, the house, buying, selling, eating, drinking,
suffering, dying.
Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon you, that you be my poem,
I whisper with my lips close to your ear.
I have loved many women and men, but I love none better than you.
O I have been dilatory and dumb,
I should have made my way straight to you long ago,
I should have blabb'd nothing but you, I should have chanted nothing
but you.
I will leave all and come and make the hymns of you,
None has understood you, but I understand you,
None has done justice to you, you have not done justice to yourself,
None but has found you imperfect, I only find no imperfection in you,
None but would subordinate you, I only am he who will never consent
to subordinate you,
I only am he who places over you no master, owner, better, God,
beyond what waits intrinsically in yourself.
Walt Whitman
