Not all those who wander are lost;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

“Não posso adiar o amor para outro século
não posso
ainda que o grito sufoque na garganta
ainda que o ódio estale e crepite e arda
sob montanhas cinzentas
e montanhas cinzentas
Não posso adiar este abraço
que é uma arma de dois gumes
amor e ódio
Não posso adiar
ainda que a noite pese séculos sobre as costas
e a aurora indecisa demore
não posso adiar para outro século a minha vida
nem o meu amor
nem o meu grito de libertação
Não posso adiar o coração”
― António Ramos Rosa, Antologia Poética
