PEGGY

A partir de uma fotografia onde se via Peggy Ashcroft (1907-1991), o pintor Walter Sickert (1860-1942) criou a sua Variations on Peggy. Os tons são pós-modernos, o quadro nem por isso. A madeira e os bosques podem ser rosa. Veneza também. Imagino que sim, nunca lá fui.

Frequently the wood are pink—
Frequently are brown.
Frequently the hills undress
Behind my native town.
Oft a head is crested
I was wont to see—
And as oft a cranny
Where it used to be—
And the Earth— they tell me—
On its Axis turned!
Wonderful Rotation!
By but twelve performed!


Emily Dickinson
