Hilda Hilst was a brazilian poet/writter. She her work is fantastic…you don’t just read her writings. You feel them.
She has a quote that sometimes i feel like telling the people i read to, when the cards are bad and all. When they think that a Tower could never become a Star. Hilda Hilst wrote that to her father:
“E ainda que as janelas se fechem,
meu pai
é certo que amanhece.”
Translation:
“And even if the windows close
my father
the dawn is certain to break”
We may close all our windows and blame the universe because the sun doesn’t shine. Or we can open them, wait for the dark night to pass, and watch the sun rise.
