Quotes by Adélia Prado (?)

“Amor violeta

O amor me fere é debaixo do braço,
de um vão entre as costelas.
Atinge meu coração é por esta via inclinada.
Eu ponho o amor no pilão com cinza
e grão de roxo e soco. Macero ele,
faço dele cataplasma
e ponho sobre a ferida.”
― Adélia Prado, Bagagem

“Páscoa

(...)
Divido o dia em três partes:
a primeira pra olhar retratos,
a segunda pra olhar espelhos,
a última e maior delas, pra chorar.
(...)”

“I am beginning to despair
and can see only two choices:
either go crazy or turn holy.”
