Contradições

Simon & Garfunkel - I am a rock (em Sounds of Silence, 1966)




A winter's day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and its loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Tunísia, pois claro

Dizzy Gillespie teria antecipando, em 1942, a revolução tunisina de 2011? A crer na secção rítmica de A Night in Tunisia, aqui numa interpretação de Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, dir-se-ia que sim...

O Egipto finalmente livre de Mubarak

Haja optimismo.
