« Better stay here and enjoy this sea and this sky
No my friend, I will not trade them,
Straight ahead is my way »

« The last trip is not always
the one described in the book of the dead
Amenti's boat has a cape
our steps don't have any »

« My mother,
Give me your blessing cause I'm leaving
My boat is a dream of things to come

Where is the map? I will trace my path
Europe... Asia... America...
What will be my path?
But - how curious -
After all, the world is so small...

My mother,
I'm not leaving anymore
I stay here.
This land is poor, but it is mine.

I'm not leaving anymore
This dream that I have
This enormous thirst,
It's not about rich countries invisible from here.

My mother,
This dream that I have
It's about a new life,
It's about another country in my country. »

(Aguinaldo Brito Fonseca)

« I will go without further ado
beyond arid distances
in search of the hug anchored
to the other side of the liquid curve. »

« Although the arrival is sweet,
The departure is sour;
But those who won't leave
Cannot return
If we die
When taking leave
Our Lord God will give us life
Upon our return »

« I will go on the white road
of the foam rose
At dawn time
Promise of the breeze
Long long long road

I will go with the withered petal
of the torrid landscape
Beyond arid distances (…)

I will go in the high hour
Of this vigil
And the clear morning will come
Long long long road

I will go against all the pitfalls
Who stand in my way
In every protest I embark
In the ripple that undocks »
(Teobaldo Virginio, 1973)

« Already the sun had gone down into a windy-looking mist; and although there were still a few streaks of gold far off to the east on the hills and the black fir-woods, all was cold and grey about our onward path.

An infinity of little country by-roads led hither and thither among the fields. It was the most pointless labyrinth. I could see my destination overhead, or rather the peak that dominates it; but choose as I pleased, the roads always ended by turning away from it, and sneaking back towards the valley, or northward along the margin of the hills. »

(Robert-Louis Stevenson - "Travel with a Donkey in the Cevennes")

« My slave ancestor
bequeathed to me these incomplete islands
this sea and this sky.

These islands
who for having wanted to be vessels
have run aground
between the sea and the sky.

/

O meu avô escravo
legou-me estas ilhas incompletas
este mar e este céu.

As ilhas
por quererem ser navios
ficaram naufragadas
entre mar e céu. »

(Aguinaldo Fonseca, Herança / héritage)

« On the island in the middle of the Atlantic
There is a small picture
Of a woman like you
She is above a phonolite
Who sings when the Alizés blow
Then the image also seems to speak
I love it. These are the distant whistles
Which make me forget the pain of being. »

(Vasco Martins - Navegam os Olhares com o Voo do Passaro)
