Han Kang
“Standing at this border where land and water meet, watching the seemingly endless recurrence of the waves (though this eternity is in fact illusion: the earth will one day vanish, everything will one day vanish), the fact that our lives are no more than brief instants is felt with unequivocal clarity.”
Han Kang, The White Book

José Luís Peixoto
“na hora de pôr a mesa, éramos cinco:
o meu pai, a minha mãe, as minhas irmãs
e eu. depois, a minha irmã mais velha
casou-se. depois, a minha irmã mais nova
casou-se. depois, o meu pai morreu. hoje,
na hora de pôr a mesa, somos cinco,
menos a minha irmã mais velha que está
na casa dela, menos a minha irmã mais
nova que está na casa dela, menos o meu
pai, menos a minha mãe viúva. cada um
deles é um lugar vazio nesta mesa onde
como sozinho. mas irão estar sempre aqui.
na hora de pôr a mesa, seremos sempre cinco.
enquanto um de nós estiver vivo, seremos
sempre cinco”
José Luis Peixoto
