"SABEM VOCÊS QUEM ELLE ME LEMBRA"

"...
-Pois eu tenho estudado muito o nosso amigo Gonçalo Mendes. E sabem vocês,sabe o Snr. Padre Soeiro quem elle me lembra?
-Quem?
-Talvez se riam. Mas eu sustento a semelhança. Aquelle todo do Gonçalo,a franqueza,a bondade,a imensa bondade,que notou o Snr. Padre Soeiro... Os fogachos e enthusiasmos,que acabam em fumo,e juntamente muita persistência,muito aferro quando se fila à sua ideia... A generosidade,o desleixo,a constante trapalhada nos negocios,e sentimentos de muita honra,uns escrupulos,quase pueris,não é verdade?... A imaginação que o leva sempre a exagerar até à mentira,e ao mesmo tempo um espirito pratico,sempre attento à realidade util. A viveza,a facilidade em comprehender,em apanhar... A esperança constante n'algum milagre d'Ourique,que sanará todas as difficuldades... A vaidade,o gosto de se arrebicar,de luzir,e uma simplicidade tão grande,que dá na rua o braço a um mendigo... Um fundo de melancolia,apsar de tão palrador,tão sociável. A desconfiança terrível de si mesmo,que o acobarda,o encolhe,até que um dia se decide,e apparece um heroe,que tudo arrasa...Até aquella antiguidade de raça,aqui pegada à sua velha Torre,ha mil annos... Até agora aquelle arranque para a Africa...Assim todo completo,com o bem,com o mal,sabem vocês quem elle me lembra?
-Quem?...
-Potugal.

MEIO-DIA

Céu baço. Quente quebranto
se espalha,no longe,enquanto
cantam cigarras à roda...

E parou-se a vida toda;
porque o Sol tudo queimou.
Só,no ar quente,pairou
um negro corvo e poisou
sobre o montado sangrando,
nos troncos rudes despidos...

Redobram roucos zumbidos
de moscardos que passando,
em cega-rega adormecem;
entorpecendo os sentidos...

... Sobre os meus olhos cansados
e cerrados
há véus de chamas que descem...
