Deus nos perdoe, a todos nós que por essas veredas vagueámos! Eis um poema de Auden em meados dos anos 30:


"My face in a dark prison lay
And blind by life remained
No learning mine nor light of day,
A slave although unchained
Till through my darkness shone a ray
And Lenin’s truth I gained

We never looked upon his face
We never heard his voice
Yet closer than a father he
Much closer to us was

No father for his children did
What LENIN did for us

From darkness thick he made a light
From deserts gardens green
And out of death the life he brought
Through him the [weak] poor have seen.
A million sand grains make a mound
A million corn a sack
A million of the weakest straws
Break the strong camel’s back.

With all he had he took our part
He gave his brain, his blood, his heart."


Bons sonhos!
