“ Deixar os substantivos passarem anos no esterco,

   deitados de barriga,

   até que eles possam carrear para o poema

   - - - áspero de ferrugem, mistura de azuis e ouro

   - - - um amarelo grosso de ouro da terra,

   carvão de folhas.”

 

Manuel de Barros ​

- - - The still and the unanimated, both remain in the skin of the earth,

but only one will become its substance - - -
