A palavra do poeta






Hoje, a palavra a Leonard Cohen:





"If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring

If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell

If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will."

By the way:

Chicago Tribune Review
[Posted 11 May 2009 ]
[...] Cohen's deadpan baritone suited the material perfectly, and singers Charley and Hattie Webb followed suit with a beautifully unadorned reading of "If it be Your Will."

Compreende-se, portanto, que as fotografias acima, junto a um Cohen brindando-nos, são das sublime [Palavra de Cohen] Webb Sisters.
