“gosto do teu zelo
quando deitas nosso nome
na palavra amor ”
Márcia Abath

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“(...) tú sólo, tú, has suspendido
la pasión a mis enojos,
la suspensión a mis ojos,
la admiración al oído.

Con cada vez que te veo
nueva admiración me das,
y cuando te miro más,
aún más mirarte deseo.

Ojos hidrópicos creo
que mis ojos deben ser,
pues cuando es muerte el beber
beben más, y desta suerte,
viendo que el ver me da muerte
estoy muriendo por ver.

Pero véate yo y muera,
que no sé, rendido ya,
si el verte muerte me da
el no verte qué me diera.
Fuera más que muerte fiera,
ira, rabia y dolor fuerte;
fuera muerte, desta suerte
su rigor he ponderado,
pues dar vida a un desdichado
es dar a un dichoso muerte.”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca
