A LUZ QUE MORRE

A fotografia foi feita há dias, casualmente, com um telemóvel. O local é bem conhecido de muitos mourenses e não é difícil de identificar. Gosto de efeitos de luz e das sombras que se criam. Alguém me disse um dia "só fotografas sombras". Vemos nas coisas aquilo que queremos. Na verdade, procuro a luz. Essa mesma luz que tantas sombras lança. "Do not go gentle into that good night. / Rage, rage against the dying of the light".

Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) é, decerto, merecedor de melhor fotógrafo.



Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
