Poesias

Esta manhã que se acinzenta traz-me à memória a Irlanda, e com a Irlanda a poesia, e com a poesia Yeats. Aqui ficam as palavras, ditas pelo próprio, destacando-se o famoso, e belíssimo, “The Lake Island of Innisfree”:

“I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the mourning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core."
