prata da casa

Every man

is his own clock

Tic toc

he may rise

by the sun

and go to sleep

with the stars

Tic toc

but if he

take stock

and come to knock

at fate's door

he may find

that he himself

has sprung the lock

against himself.

Useless

to knock

now, the door

will not open--

save only

at the shock

of love,

to deliver him

from that block,

unlock

his heart and

set it beating again:

Tic toc

Tic toc

tic toc!

William Carlos Williams,

The Clock of Years.

Tudo tem seu lado bom, né mesmo?

O belo poema de William Carlos Williams (que, além de poeta, era pediatra - \O/ ) está em uma das poucas cenas interessantes de Exposed, usado por Nureyev para seduzir Nastassja Kinski.
