Ergue-te e caminha

Agostinho Neto - Poemas sobre Agostinho Neto

Se te dissesse

que te busco
que te busco

e que vou ao fundo

de todos os abismos
para entender
para entender…

- Amazona
que segue
na voragem dos cavalos
por sobre o contacto
da terra ao infinito
buscando-te
buscando-te…

Se te dissesse
o que queria dizer
dizer-te-ia, ergue-te e caminha
vamos pelo azul
participando num novo renascer,
sendo a catálise
sendo o alvorecer.

ERGUE-TE E CAMINHA!

Eugénia Neto

Luanda, Abril, 1980 (in O soar dos Quissanges)

Agostinho Neto - Poemas sobre Agostinho Neto

Soubéssemos dizer

Soubéssemos nós dizer
a verdade
e apenas a verdade
sobre ti
o teu amor por Angola
a tua vida oferecida em holocausto
pela libertação
e reconstrução da Pátria
o teu amor pela humanidade
e pela vida
a tua confiança plena
no porvir
e na capacidade do homem
de transformar
e transformar-se.
Fôssemos nós capazes
de humildemente cantar-te
dizendo apenas a verdade
sobre ti
para que o teu nome subisse
à lonjura das estrelas
e permanecesse eternamente
na memória dos homens.

Eugénia Neto

Milão, Março de 1980 (in O soar dos Quissanges)

Davidson found himself listed as a ‘prohibited immigrant’ in some white-ruled African countries. Photograph: Augusta Conchiglia Basil Davidson, who has died aged 95, was a radical journalist in the great anti-imperial tradition, and became a distinguished historian of pre-colonial Africa. An energetic and charismatic figure, he was dropped behind enemy lines during the second world war and joined that legendary band of British soldiers who fought with the partisans in Yugoslavia and in Italy. Years later, he was the first reporter to travel with the guerrillas fighting the Portuguese in Angola and Guinea-Bissau, and brought their struggle to the world's attention.
