CANTINHO DE UM POETA – 36
July 5, 2017 5:04
Poeta popular, por excelência — embora vestido n’O Mosquito com as roupagens de um carismático trovador que usava o nome de Avozinho —, Raul Correia participou (e foi premiado) em vários torneiros literários associados aos tradicionais festejos juninos em honra dos Santos Populares.
Eis um desses trabalhos, dado à estampa no Jornal do Cuto nº 53, de 5/7/1972, com a habitual ilustração de José Batista (Jobat).
Seagull
July 5, 2017 5:03
I called her Seaguill because of her beak.
We’d been on holiday for only a week
and after playing alone on the beach for days,
I found her in a rock pool and she asked me to stay.
We were twins, you see, dressed in the same clothes,
same dress, same hair, just a different nose.
I’d sing, she’d squawks I’d dance, she’d fly;
together we explored sand, sea and sky.
My parents called her my imaginary friend
and told me that soon our friendship must end,
but she was my twin sister, not imaginary
and she agreed to come home with me.
We sat on the back seat, playing I-spy,
counting how many red cars passed by,
and fell asleep in each other’s arms;
she promised to love me, see I came to no harm.
But the holidays ended and I went back to school,
I forgot about Seagull…

História Natural da Estupidez – Paul Tabori
July 5, 2017 5:01
A sinopse deste livro começa por nos apresentar uma lista de sinónimos, verbos, nomes e adjectivos relacionados com a estupidez – “Haverá sintoma mais decisivo que o facto de este livro dedicar seis colunas aos sinónimos, verbos, nome e adjectivos relacionados com a estupidez, quando os referentes à sensatez mal chegam a ocupar uma coluna?”.
Sujeito que era tão estúpido que apagava a vela a fim de não ser incomodado pelas pulgas que o mordiam. (…) Burton focou uma das características mais importantes da estupidez ; a apagar da vela – o evitar a luz – o confundir causa e efeito.
O início auspicia e o resto cumpre. Entre notas culturais, históricas, sociais, científicas e religiosas, as páginas estão carregadas de detalhes e factos inusitados, episódios e pensamentos tão idiotas que até ferem a alma. Por esse motivo aconselho a leitura em modo lento, para que se possa saborear cada…

Yoga During The Sunset Time
July 5, 2017 5:00
It was exactly last year, I was staying in Cocos Keeling Island. Lucky that @dokterjalanjalan got a doctor’s house in front the beach. I’m very happy to do yoga around the beach. Sometimes I did it in the morning or afternoon.
Here are the sunset pictures that you might love…
It’s very good spot to listen the small waves and to see the beautiful sunset. While I’m doing yoga at the beach or at home, @dokterjalanjalan is in the gym or running or fishing. I really miss to see the beautiful sunset in Cocos.
