" É uma espécie de negativo, um molde oco e invisível cujas linhas não consigo distinguir, e para dentro do qual devo deixar-me escorregar, se quiser que o meu próprio eu se consciencialize da sua forma e expressão. "

Mão Morta -" Floresta em sonho "
" A voz que roda à minha volta na escuridão, que me quer atormentar com a pedra que parece um monte de sebo, passou junto de mim e não me viu. Sei que vem do império do sonho. Mas a experiência foi a de uma realidade viva - por isso é que a voz não me viu e, estou certo, me continua a procurar. Em vão. "
Excerto de " O Golem ", de Gustav Meyrink, Trd. E. Leão Maia, Ed. Vega

"Scène de la Folie" ~ Natalie Dessay (Part 1 of 2)
" Ah! se mestre Romão pudesse seria um grande compositor. Parece que há duas sortes de vocação, as que têm língua e as que não têm. As primeiras realizam-se; as últimas representam uma luta constante e estéril entre o impulso interior e a ausência de um modo de comunicação com os homens. Romão era destas. Tinha a vocação íntima da música; trazia dentro de si muitas óperas e missas, um mundo de harmonias novas e originais, que não alcançava exprimir e pôr no papel. Esta era a causa única da tristeza de mestre Romão. Naturalmente o vulgo não atinava com ela; uns diziam isto, outros aquilo: doença, falta de dinheiro, algum desgosto antigo; mas a verdade é esta: - a causa da melancolia de mestre Romão era não poder compor, não possuir o meio de traduzir o que sentia."
Excerto de " Cantiga de esponsais" , de Machado de Assis
"Scène de la Folie" ~ Natalie Dessay (Part 2 of 2)
" Quando se fala na irritação de ficar com um pêlo público atravessado na garganta, é raro fazer-se a justiça de contrabalançá-lo com o grande prazer do acto de amor que o causou. É íntima a ligação entre o exagero com que se exprime o incómodo e o silêncio em torno do afoito e da paixão que a tarefa exigiu. "

Chanson,
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dis tout
Ô, toi,
Que nous dansions ensemble
Toi qui me parlais d'elle
D'elle qui te chantait
Toi qui me parlais d'elle
De son nom oublié
De son corps, de mon corps
De cet amour là
De cet amour mort
Chanson,
De ma terre lointaine
Toi qui parleras d'elle
Maintenant disparue
Toi qui me parles d'elle
De son corps effacé
De ses nuits, de nos nuits
De ce désir là
De ce désir mort
Chanson,
Toi qui ne veux rien dire
Toi qui me parles d'elle
Et toi qui me dit tout
Et toi qui me dit tout

On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophelia floats like a great lily;
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils...
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort.
For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river.
For more than a thousand years her sweet madness
Has murmured its ballad to the evening breeze.
The wind kisses her breasts and unfolds in a wreath
Her great veils rising and falling with the waters;
The shivering willows weep on her shoulder,
The rushes lean over her wide, dreaming brow.
The ruffled water-lilies are sighing around her;
At times she rouses, in a slumbering alder,
Some nest from which escapes a small rustle of wings;
- A mysterious anthem falls from the golden stars.
II
O pale Ophelia! beautiful as snow!
Yes child, you died, carried off by a river!
- It was the winds descending from the great mountains of Norway
That spoke to you in low voices of better freedom.
It was a breath of wind, that, twisting your great hair,
Brought strange rumors to your dreaming mind;
It was your heart listening to the song of Nature
In the groans of the tree and the sighs of the nights;
It was the voice of mad seas, the great roar,
That shattered your child's heart, too human and too soft;
It was a handsome pale knight, a poor madman
Who one April morning sate mute at your knees!
Heaven! Love! Freedom! What a dream, oh poor crazed Girl!
You melted to him as snow does to a fire;
Your great visions strangled your words
- And fearful Infinity terrified your blue eye!
III
- And the poet says that by starlight
You come seeking, in the night, the flowers that you picked
And that he has seen on the water, lying in her long veils
White Ophelia floating, like a great lily.
Arthur Rimbaud

" De súbito uma força desconhecida atingiu-o no peito e no flanco, oprimindo-lhe ainda mais a respiração, caiu no buraco e ali, no fundo do buraco, qualquer coisa começou a brilhar. Aconteceu-lhe aquilo que lhe costumava acontecer na carruagem do comboio, quando pensava que seguia para a frente e ia para trás, e de repente descobria a verdadeira direcção.
- Sim, nada foi como devia ser - disse a si mesmo. - Mas não importa. É possível, «isso» pode fazer-se. Mas «isso» é o quê? - perguntou a si mesmo e sossegou. "

Imitation of Life - directed by Douglas Sirk 1959 With Lana Turner, John Gavin, Susan Kohner, Sandra Dee - Susan Kohner was born on November 11, 1936 in Los Angeles, California. Her mother was actress Lupita Tovar, a successful performer from the 1930's and it was only natural that for Susan to gravitate toward acting. Her first role was in To Hell and Back (1955) in 1955. One more film in 1956 and one in 1957 brought her to the attention of producers in the movie industry. Susan made four in 1959. The best of the lot was Imitation of Life (1959), a film starring Lana Turner and Sandra Dee. It was a dual story of Lana portraying a struggling actress and Susan as Sara Jane, struggling with the fact that although she appeared white, her mother was black. Susan's role as a young woman trying to cope in the white world while hiding the fact she was black was enough to win her an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Unfortunately, Susan lost out to Shelley Winters in The Diary of Anne Frank (1959). After appearing in Freud (1962) in 1962, Susan left films for good with the exception of appearing in the television program "Temple Houston" (1963) in 1963. She wed John Weitz in 1964 and retired to raise a family.
This glamorized remake of the 1934 film Imitation of Life bears only a passing resemblance to its source, the best-selling novel by Fannie Hurst. Originally, the heroine was a widowed mother who kept the wolf from the door by setting up a successful pancake business with her black housemaid. In the remake, Lana Turner stars as a would-be actress who is raising her daughter on her own. She chances to meet another single mother at the beach: African-American Juanita Moore. Moore goes to work as Turner's housekeeper, bringing her light-skinned daughter along. As Turner's stage career goes into high gear, Moore is saddled with the responsibility of raising both Turner's daughter and her own. Exposed to the advantages of the white world, Moore's grown-up daughter (Susan Kohner) passes for white, causing her mother a great deal of heartache. Meanwhile, Turner's grown daughter (Sandra Dee), neglected by her mother, seeks comfort in the arms of handsome photographer John Gavin. When Moore dies, her daughter realizes how selfish she's been; simultaneously, Turner awakens to the fact that she hasn't been much of a mother for her own daughter, whose romance has gone down the tubes.
Has Anyone Seen My Gal? - Directed by Douglas Sirk - 1952 with Charles Coburn, Lynn Bari, Larry Gates, Piper Laurie, Rock Hudson - Douglas Sirk directed this frothy musical comedy set in the 1920s starring Charles Coburn as Samuel Fulton, an elderly man with a multi-million dollar fortune. With no family of his own to whom he can leave his money, Fulton is pondering what to do with his estate. Years ago, he was in love with a woman named Harriet, whom he asked to marry. She turned him down and married another someone else, but he's still fond of her and considers leaving his millions to her family. However, Fulton decides to first give them a test. Posing as an eccentric and threadbare artist, he rents a room from Harriet (Lynn Bari) and her husband Charles (Larry Gates). He then arranges for an anonymous gift of $100,000 to be presented to them so that he can watch their reactions. Sadly, things don't go well; Harriet browbeats the rest of the family into moving into a mansion and tries to convince her daughter Millicent (Piper Laurie) to break up with her boyfriend, poor but good-hearted soda jerk Dan (Rock Hudson), in favor of a wealthier and more socially prominent man. Songs include "Tiger Rag," "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbin' Along," "It Ain't Gonna Rain No More," and "Gimme a Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?" James Dean has a tiny part as a customer at the soda fountain; it was his first appearance onscreen.
All That Heaven Allows directed by Douglas Sirk 1955 with Rock Hudson, Jane Wyman, Agnes Moorehead, Conrad Nagel, Virginia Grey. One of director Douglas Sirk's best and most successful romantic soapers of the 1950s, All That Heaven Allows is predicated on a May-December romance. The difference here is that the woman, attractive widow Cary Scott (Jane Wyman), is considerably older than the man, handsome gardener-landscaper Ron Kirby (Rock Hudson). Sirk builds up sympathy for Cary by showing how empty her life has been since her husband's death, even suggesting that the marriage itself was no picnic. Throwing conventionial behavior to the winds and facing social ostracism, Cary pursues her romance with Ron, who is unjustly perceived as a fortune-hunter by Cary's friends and family--especially her priggish son Ned (William Reynolds). Amusingly, Conrad Nagel was to have had a much larger part as Harvey, an elderly widower who carries a torch for Cary, but his role was trimmed down during previews when audiences disapproved of an implicit romance between a sixtyish man and a fortysomething woman! All That Heaven Allows was remade by unabashed Douglas Sirk admirer Rainer Werner Fassbinder as Ali--Fear Eats the Soul (1974), in which the age gap between hero and heroine was even wider.
Written on the Wind - Directed by Douglas Sirk 1956 with Dorothy Malone, Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, Robert Stack - Perhaps the definitive Douglas Sirk production, Written on the Wind is based on the novel by Robert Wilder. The story revolves around the Hadleys, a wealthy but thoroughly debauched family of Texas oil millionaires. Robert Stack is self-destructive alcoholic Kyle Hadley, while Dorothy Malone won an Oscar for her equally vivid potrayal of Kyle's nymphomaniac sister Marylee. Kyle manages to win beautiful, level-headed advertising executive Lucy Moore (Lauren Bacall) away from his best friend, virile Hadley Oil geologist Mitch Wayne (Rock Hudson), but Lucy soon comes to regret her decision to marry into the hell-on-earth Hadley family. When Lucy becomes pregnant, Kyle assumes that Mitch is the father, leading to a maelstrom of fever-pitch emotionalism and stark tragedy. Before he quite knows what is happening, Mitch is on trial for murder; the one person who can clear him is the craven Marylee, who demands Mitch's sexual favors as the price for her testimony.
The Tarnished Angels - Directed by Douglas Sirk 1957 with Rock Hudson, Dorothy Malone, Robert Stack, Jack Carson, Robert Middleton - William Faulkner's novel Pylon was optioned by Universal producer Albert Zugsmith, who used it as the source for his 1957 production The Tarnished Angels. Robert Stack is a disillusioned World War One ace eking out a living as a barnstorming pilot/parachutist during the early 1930s. New Orleans newspaperman Rock Hudson runs across Stack at a two-bit carnival. He becomes fascinated with Stack's fall from grace, and latches onto him. As he is drawn into Stack's iconoclastic, individualistic lifestyle, Hudson finds he is also drawn to the pilot's long-suffering wife, Dorothy Malone. Jack Carson is on hand as Stack's chief mechanic, whose anger over the pilot's abusive treatment of Malone explodes into tragedy.
Tom Waits - Heart Attack and Vine
" Ao descer a rua sentia nos calcanhares a leveza da tensa alegria da noite de sábado. Andava toda a gente cá fora! Quase esperava ver Brock a espreitar da esquina onde costumava postar-se com os amigos, e não ficaria surpreendida se visse o pai sentado à porta de uma loja qualquer com os braços pendentes entre os joelhos, vencido, um náufrago, a dormir de de olhos abertos. Não os viu mas viu toda a gente conhecida. Com as pantorrilhas enrijadas pela pressão sobre a chateza quente e resistente do passeio, do passeio de toda a gente, Loretta sorria e trocava saudações com as pessoas que tinham vindo arejar depois de jantar - conhecia toda a gente e toda a gente conhecia Loretta. O bairro não era mau de todo. Sua mãe odiara-o, mas a vizinhança não era má; as pessoas gostavam muito simplesmente de passear um pouco e de se descontrair depois de uma longa semana, e às vezes metiam-se em sarilhos, mas isso era coisa de pouca dura. Não havia nada de reprovável nesses conflitos."
Excerto de " Eles ", de Joyce Carol Oates, Ed. Livraria Civilização,Trd. Daniel Augusto Gonçalves,1974
