A Despedida - António Correia de Oliveira

Max von Sydow numa cena de Vargtimmen / Hour of the Wolf (1968)
do realizador Ingmar Bergman (14 Jul 1918 - 30 Jul 2007)

Três modos de despedida
Tem o meu bem para mim:
- «Até logo»; «até à vista»:
Ou «adeus» - É sempre assim.

«Adeus», é lindo, mas triste;
«Adeus» ... A Deus entregamos
Nossos destinos: partimos,
Mal sabendo se voltamos.

«Até logo», é já mais doce;
Tem distancia e ausência, é certo;
Mas não é nem ano e dia,
Nem tão-pouco algum deserto.

Vale mais «até à vista»,
Do que «até logo» ou «adeus»;
«À vista», lembra, voltando,
Meus olhos fitos nos teus.

Três modos de despedida
Tem, assim, o meu Amor;
Antes não tivesse tantos!
Nem um só... Fora melhor.

Adeus - Miguel Torga

Posted on 29 July 2010 | 2:38 am by looking4good

Hoje, sem ter que ver com as efemérides, recorro a um dos meus preferidos autores, para preencher o habitual espaço poético... com saudade:

É um adeus…
Não vale a pena sofismar a hora!
É tarde nos meus olhos e nos teus…
Agora,
O remédio é partir discretamente,
Sem palavras,
Sem lágrimas,
Sem gestos.
De que servem lamentos e protestos
Contra o destino?
Cego assassino
A que nenhum poder
Limita a crueldade,
Só o pode vencer a humanidade
Da nossa lucidez desencantada.
Antes da iniquidade
Consumada,
Um poema de líquido pudor,
Um sorriso de amor,
E mais nada.

Romance - Sidónio Muralha, na passagem dos 90 anos do nascimento do poeta

Posted on 28 July 2010 | 12:31 am by looking4good

Depois daquela noite os teus seios incharam;
as tuas ancas alargaram-se;
e os teus parentes admiraram-se
e falaram, falaram...

Porque falaram duma coisa tão bela,
tão simples, tão natural?
Tu não parias uma estrela
nem uma noite de vendaval...

Mas tudo terminou porque falaram.
Tu fraquejaste e tudo terminou.
- Os teus seios desincharam;
só a tristeza ficou.

Ficou a tristeza duma coisa tão bela,
tão simples, tão natural...

- Tu não parias uma estrela,
nem uma noite de vendaval...

Benfica derrota o Sunderland em Albufeira, ... sem sofrer golos!

Posted on 27 July 2010 | 11:30 pm by looking4good

Benfica

2-0

Sunderland



Carlos Martins dá-se bem com a Jabulani

Em mais um jogo de preparação o Benfica defrontou os ingleses do Sunderland em Albufeira sob uma elevada temperatura. E se só ver custava (mesmo de garrafinha de água fresca na mão) jogar... ai, ai...

Na primeira parte o Benfica apresentou claramente um meio-campo de reservistas com Felipe Menezes, César Peixoto (ainda que dado o avanço tantas vezes de Fábio Coentrão ficou-se sem saber quem era o defesa ou o médio esquerdo), e Weldon, com Javi Garcia a médio defensivo a ser o único titular da época passada. Jara fez parelha na frente com Cardozo. Na baliza hoje não esteve Roberto, jogando Júlio César na primeira parte e Moreira na segunda. É certo que estes ingleses foram quase inofensivos mas a verdade é que o Benfica não sofreu golos...

O jogo foi disputado com muita lentidão, com Felipe Menezes a prender-se muito à bola e só os arranques de Fábio Coentrão geraram algum aperto à defesa inglesa.

Aos 8' o Benfica teve uma boa oportunidade com Weldon a surgir pela esquerda e a dar bem para a entrada de Cardozo mas o remate de pé direito foi bem defendido.

Aos 21' foram os ingleses que tiveram a sua melhor oportunidade do jogo. Um cruzamento de Malbranque, a solicitar Jones, que apareceu por trás da defesa, mas falhou a emenda por pouco, perante o expectante Júlio César.

Aos 28' o Benfica marcou: cruzamento da esquerda de Fábio Coentrão, Cardozo apareceu a concluir de cabeça com sucesso inaugurando o marcador.

Aos 34' o Sunderland teve que operar a primeira substituição por lesão de Jones.

No recomeço para a segunda parte o Benfica apresentou praticamente uma equipa nova (oito jogadores) ficando apenas os defesas Sidnei, David Luís e Fábio Coentrão. Esperava-se maior movimentação e mais oportunidades perante a entrada de criativos como Aimar, Carlos Martins e Saviola, mas a verdade é que não era dia de muita inspiração. Os ingleses sempre atrás da linha da bola perturbavam e os benfiquistas optaram mesmo sem ter Rodrigo (o jovem do Real Madrid que se diz poder vir para o Benfica) por rodriguinhos atrás de rodriguinhos.

Mais uma assistência de Fábio Coentrão isolou Kardec que parou no peito e rematou para uma defesa com as pernas de Mignolet.

Depois uma boa iniciativa de Luís Filipe na linha de fundo pretendeu dar atrasado para Aimar mas este teve oposição bem sucedida.

O Benfica dominava mas o jogo não era fluido com excesso de passes e pouca objectividade. Objectividade teve Carlos Martins que está em excelente forma e dá-se bem com a jabulani, aplicou um pontapé forte do meio da rua, após uma solicitação curta de Saviola e a bola só parou no fundo da baliza do surpreendido guarda-redes do Sunderland.

O resultado ficou assim mais de acordo com, a diferença de qualidade das equipas.

O árbitro começou por chatear os encarnados ao deixar jogar por duas vezes com aparente faltas inglesas para depois assinalar falta a César Peixoto que teve reacção a merecer advertência não fosse jogo particular. Curiosamente na segunda parte foi assinalado um fora de jogo que não existiu a um inglês que estava em boa posição para fazer o empate e um corte na direcção da baliza encarnada com Moreira a agarrar a bola com as mãos poderia ter sido interpretado com livre indirecto. O único cartão a dois minutos do fim também poderia ter sido evitado uma vez que na primeira parte uma falta por trás sobre David Luís foi bem mais perigosa...

A Tua Boca - António de Cértima

I

Nasce a manhã em teu cabelo ruivo

Palacio de perfume e pedrarias
E, Salomés acariciando as pômas
As nossas línguas ungem-se de aromas
Para o baile sagrado das orgias!

II
Sol a prumo em teus seios de feérias

Alcova ideal de sádicas sereias.
E em batalhas voluptuais, violentas
As nossas linguas, humidas, sangrentas
Sorvem um mel de cálidas colmeias

III
A tarde ajoelha no teu ventre liso

Jardim da perfumada Berenice,
Aonde as nossas linguas incendidas
Adormecem, cansadas e doridas
Num sonho de fantástica meiguice!

...Jardim da tua carne de Belkiss.

Amor - Guilherme Braga

Posted on 26 July 2010 | 12:45 am by looking4good

Olha estas velhas arvores frondosas
Que enchem de sombra a solitaria rua,
E esse chão de verduras, e aquellas rosas
Que dos muros se prendem curiosas
Para verem passar a imagem tua.

Não te diz tudo amor? Ouves? Suspende!
Lá derramam as aves pela selva
As doces notas que tu'alma entende:
Vês? Mais pallido um raio a lua estende
Para beijar-te os pés na escura relva.

Quando sabem que vens, tudo prepara
Recepção festival, como se fosse
Cousa do ceu que por aqui passara;
Então a luz dos astros é mais clara,
Das florinhas o halito mais doce.

Gorgea o rouxinol já de mais perto,
Gemem as auras melodioso idylio,
Em tudo ha um som de canticos incerto,
E do livro das arvores aberto
Chovem rimas d'Horacio e de Virgilio.

Eu pela tua mão, calcando a alfombra
Do verde musgo, absorto em sonhos vagos,
Scismo no teu amor que est'alma assombra,
E julgo que nos ceus por entre a sombra
Nos está rindo a estrella dos Reis Magos.

É que, se a natureza, que te admira,
O musgo e o cedro, as rosas e o perfume,
Formam, para cantar-te, ignota lyra,
Nos seios de minh'alma outra suspira
Que mais poesia e mais amor resume.
