Porque George Steiner que ainda há dias esteve entre nós, foi uma das primeiras vozes mais lúcidas a falar sobre Plath e porque se vivem tempos de Advento, lembrei-me de recordar "Mary's Song":
"The Sunday lamb cracks in its fat.
The fat
Sacrifices its opacity. . . .
A window, holy gold.
The fire makes it precious,
The same fire
Melting the tallow heretics,
Ousting the Jews.
Their thick palls float
Over the cicatrix of Poland, burnt-out
Germany.
They do not die.
Grey birds obsess my heart,
Mouth-ash, ash of eye.
They settle. On the high
Precipice
That emptied one man into space
The ovens glowed like heavens, incandescent.
It is a heart,
This holocaust I walk in,
O golden child the world will kill and eat."
Boa semana!
