“A man reaches close
and lifts a quarter
from inside a girl鈥檚 ear,
from her hands takes a dove
she didn鈥檛 know was there.
Which amazes more,
you may wonder:
the quarter鈥檚 serrated murmur
against the thumb
or the dove鈥檚 knuckled silence?
That he found them,
or that she never had,
or that in Portugal,
this same half-stopped moment,
it鈥檚 almost dawn,
and a woman in a wheelchair
is singing a fado
that puts every life in the room
on one pan of a scale,
itself on the other,
and the copper bowls balance.”

“Toda a poesia - e a can莽茫o 茅 uma poesia ajudada - reflecte o que a alma n茫o tem. Por isso a can莽茫o dos povos tristes 茅 alegre e a can莽茫o dos povos alegres 茅 triste.
O fado, por茅m, n茫o 茅 alegre nem triste. 脡 um epis贸dio de intervalo. Formou-o a alma portuguesa quando n茫o existia e desejava tudo sem ter for莽a para o desejar.
As almas fortes atribuem tudo ao Destino; s贸 os fracos confiam na vontade pr贸pria, porque ela n茫o existe.
O fado 茅 o cansa莽o da alma forte, o olhar de desprezo de Portugal ao Deus em que creu e tamb茅m o abandonou.
No fado os Deuses regressam leg铆timos e long铆nquos.”

“鈥� Da Severa s贸 o fado, caro amigo, e com que voz! S贸 o fado conhece todos os esconsos e enxergas do cora莽茫o de um homem.”

“Fato 茅 que nao ha maior dor, ou tal fardo,
Assim como dilacerando a alma da gente,
Do que um corpo febril, gelado, flagelado,
Opondo um sofrimento que se faz latente.”
