FUTURE

(text by Virgina Wolf, entry in The Diary of Virgina Woolf: 1915-1919) 

“The Future is dark, which is the best thing the future can be I think”.

WOMAN

(text by Luce Irigaray, in Between East and West: From Singularity to Community, 2002)

“Woman like the creator god, engenders with her breath.

But she does it from the inside, without demonstration. She does it invisibly and silently.

Woman teaches, at each moment of the present, and in a continuous manner,

through carrying her child, through speaking to the child.

She shares her life, her breath, she shares but what she shares is not seen”.

PÁSSAROS

(text  by Ruy Belo from “Algumas proposições com pássaros e árvores que o poeta remata com

uma referência ao coração”, in Homem de Palavras, 1970)

“Os pássaros nascem na ponta das árvores , As árvores que vejo em vez de frutos dão pássaros (…)

Os pássaros começam onde as árvores acabam. Os pássaros fazem cantar as árvores.”

(english translation)

(The birds are born at the end of the trees. The trees I see, instead of fruits, bear birds.

The birds starts where the trees end. The birds make trees sing.)
