Quest Principle
“The boy, Max Rüst, will later on become a tinker, father of seven more Rüsts, he will go to work for the firm of Hallis & Co., Plumbing and Roofing, in Grünau. At the age of 52 he will win a quarter of a prize in the Prussian Class Lottery, then he will retire from business and die during an adjustment suit which he has started against the firm of Hallis & Co., at the age of 55. His obituary will read as follows: On September, suddenly, from heart-disease, my beloved husband, our dear father, son, brother, brother-in-law, and uncle, Paul Rüst, in his 55th year. This announcement is made with deep grief on behalf of his sorrowing family by Marie Rüst. The notice of thanks after the funeral will read as follows: Acknowledgment. Being unable to acknowledge individually all tokens of sympathy in our bereavement, we hereby express our profound gratitude to all relatives, friends, as well as to the tenants of No. 4 Kleiststrasse and to all our acquaintances. Especially do we thank Herr Deinen for his kind words of sympathy. At present his Max Rüst is 14 years old, has just finished public school, is supposed to call by on his way there at the clinic for the defective in speech, the hard of hearing, the weak-visioned, the weak-minded, the in-corrigible, he has been there at frequent intervals, because he stutters, but he is getting better now.”
Alfred Döblin - Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929)
De tudo, ao meu amor serei atento
Antes, e com tal zelo, e sempre, e tanto
Que mesmo em face do maior encanto
Dele se encante mais meu pensamento.
Quero vivê-lo em cada vão momento
E em louvor hei de espalhar meu canto
E rir meu riso e derramar meu pranto
Ao seu pesar ou seu contentamento.
E assim, quando mais tarde me procure
Quem sabe a morte, angústia de quem vive
Quem sabe a solidão, fim de quem ama
Eu possa me dizer do amor (que tive):
Que não seja imortal, posto que é chama
Mas que seja infinito enquanto dure.
Estoril, outubro de 1939 | São Paulo, 1946
Soneto de fidelidade - Vinicius de Moraes
No me pidas falsas
colaboraciones, juegos
del equívoco y la confusión:
pídeme que a mi ser
lo lleve hasta su sol sangrando.
No me pidas firmas,
fotos, créditos para un abominable
desarrollo de la doblez: pídeme
que estemos como hermanos
abriéndonos el corazón hasta la muerte.
No halagues mi vanidad, busca mi fuerza,
que es la tuya. No quieras, con tu delicadeza,
que me traicione. No simules
que vas a creer en mi simulación.
No hagamos otros mundo de mentiras.
Vamos a hacer un mundo de verdad, con la verdad partida
como un pan terrible para todos.
Es lo que yo siento que cada día me exige, implacablemente,
la Revolución.
