The Project Gutenberg eBook of A Scena do Odio, by José de Almada Negreiros

Excerptos de um poema desbaratado que foi escripto durante os três dias e as três noites que durou a revolução de 14 de Maio de 1915.

Satanizo-Me Tara na Vara de Moysés!
O castigo das serpentes é-Me riso nos dentes,
Inferno a arder o Meu cantar!
Sou Vermelho-Niagára dos sexos escancarados nos chicotes dos cossacos!
Sou Pan-Demonio-Trifauce enfermiço de Gula!
Sou Genio de Zarathustra em Taças de Maré-Alta!
Sou Raiva de Medusa e Damnação do Sol!

Ladram-Me a Vida por vivê-La e só me deram Uma! Hão-de lati-La por sina! agora quero vivê-La! Hei-de Poeta cantá-La em Gala sonora e dina! Hei-de Gloria desannuviá-La! Hei-de Guindaste içá-La Esfinge da Valla commum onde Me querem rir! Hei-de trovão-clarim levá-La Luz ás Almas-Noites do Jardim das Lagrymas! Hei-de bombo rufá-La pompa de Pompeia nos Funeraes de Mim! Hei-de Alfange-Mahoma cantar Sodoma na Voz de Nero! Hei-de ser Fuas sem Virgem do Milagre, hei-de ser galope opiado e doido, opiado e doido…, hei-de ser Attila, hei-de Nero, hei-de Eu, cantar Attila, cantar Nero, cantar Eu!

Sou throno de Abandono, mal-fadado, nas iras dos barbaros, meus Avós. Oiço ainda da Berlinda d'Eu ser sina gemidos vencidos de fracos, ruidos famintos de saque, ais distantes de Maldição eterna em Voz antiga! Sou ruinas razas, innocentes como as azas de rapinas afogadas. Sou reliquias de martyres impotentes sequestradas em antros do Vicio e da Virtude. Sou clausura de Sancta professa, Mãe exilada do Mal, Hostia d'Angustia no Claustro, freira demente e donzella, virtude sosinha da cella em penitencia do sexo! Sou rasto espesinhado d'Invasores que cruzaram o meu sangue, desvirgando-o. Sou a Raiva atavica dos Tavoras, o sangue bastardo de Nero, o odio do ultimo instante do condemnado innocente! A podenga do Limbo mordeu raivosa as pernas nuas da minh'Alma sem baptismo… Ah! que eu sinto, claramente, que nasci de uma praga de ciumes! Eu sou as sete pragas sobre o Nylo e a Alma dos Borgias a penar!

E eu vivo aqui desterrado e Job da Vida-gemea d'Eu ser feliz! E eu vivo aqui sepultado vivo na Verdade de nunca ser Eu! Sou apenas o Mendigo de Mim-Proprio, orphão da Virgem do meu sentir.

(Pezam kilos no Meu querer
as salas-de-espera de Mim.
Tu chegas sempre primeiro…
Eu volto sempre amanhã…
Agora vou esperar que morras.
Mas tu és tantos que não morres…
Vou deixar d'esp'rar que morras
—Vou deixar d'esp'rar por Mim?!…)

Ah! que eu sinto, claramente, que nasci de uma praga de ciumes! Eu sou as sete pragas sobre o Nylo e a Alma dos Borgias a penar!

Hei-de, entretanto, gastar a garganta a insultar-te, ó bêsta! Hei-de morder-te a ponta do rabo e pôr-te as mãos no chão, no seu logar! Ahi! Saltímbanco-bando de bandoleiros nefastos! Quadrilheiros contrabandistas da Imbecilidade! Ahi! Espelho-aleijão do Sentimento, macaco-intruja do Alma-realejo! Ahi! maquerelle da Ignorancia! Silenceur do Genio-Tempestade! Spleen da Indigestão! Ahi! meia-tijella, travão das Ascensões! Ahi! povo judeu dos Christos mais que Christo! Ó burguezia! ó ideal com i pequeno! Ó ideal rocócó dos Mendes e Possidonios! Ó cofre d'indigentes cuja personalidade é a moral de todos! Ó geral da mediocridade! Ó claque ignobil do vulgar, protagonista do normal! Ó catitismo das lindezas d'estalo! Ahi! lucro do facil, cartilha-cabotina dos limitados, dos restringidos! Ahi! dique impecilho do Canal da Luz! Ó coito d'impotentes a corar ao sol no riacho da Estupidez! Ahi! Zero-barometro da Convicção! bitola dos chega, dos basta, dos não quero mais! Ahi! plebeismo aristocratisado no preço do panamá! erudição de calça de xadrez! competencia de relogio d'oiro e corrente com suores do Brazil e berloques de cornos de buffalo!

Zutt! bruto-parvo-nada que Me roubaste tudo: 'té Me roubaste a Vida e não Me deixaste nada! nem Me deixaste a Morte! Zutt! poeira-pingo-microbio que gemes pequenissimo gemidos gigantes, gravido de uma dôr profeta colossal! Zutt! elefante-berloque parasita do não presta! Zutt! bugiganga-celluloide-bagatella! Zutt! bêsta! Zutt! bácoro!! Zutt! merda!!!

E tu, tambem, vieille-roche, castello medieval fechado por dentro das tuas ruinas! Fiel epitaphio das cronicas aduladoras! E tu tambem, ó sangue azul antigo que já nasceste co'a biographia feita! Ó pagem loiro das cortezias-avozinhas! Ó pergaminho amarello-mumia das grandes galas brancas das paradas e das victorias dos torneios-loterias com donzellas-glorias! Ó resto de sceptros, fumo de cinzas! Ó lavas frias do vulcão pyrotechnico com chuvas d'oiros e cabeleiras prateadas! Ó estilhaços heraldicos de vitraes despegados lentamente sobre o tanque do silencio! Ó cedro secular debruçado no muro da Quinta sobre a estrada a estorvar o caminho da Mala-posta!

E vós tambem, ó Gentes de Pensamento, ó Personalidades, ó Homens! Artistas de todas as partes, cristãos sem patria, Christos vencidos por serem só Um! E vós, ó Genios da Expressão, e vós tambem, ó Genios sem Voz! Ó alem-infinito sem regressos, sem nostalgias, Espectadores gratuitos do Drama-Imenso de Vós-Mesmos! Prophetas cladestinos do Naufragio de Vossos Destinos!

E vos tambem, theoricos-irmãos-gemeos do meu sentir internacional! Ó escravos da Independencia!

E tu tambem, Belleza Canalha co'a sensibilidade manchada de vinho! O lyrio bravo da Floresta-Ardida á meia-porta da tua Miseria! Ó Fado da Má-Sina com illustrações a giz e lettra da Maldição! Ó féra vadia das viellas açaimada na Lei! O chale e lenço a resguardar a tysica! Ó franzinas do fanico co'a syphilis ao collo por essas esquinas! Ó nu d'aluguer na meia-luz dos cortinados corridos! Ó oratorio da meretriz a mendigar gorgetas pr'á sua Senhora da Boa-Sorte! Ó gentes tatuadas do calão! Ó carro vendado da Penitenciaria!

E tu tambem, ó Humilde, ó Símples! enjaulados na vossa Ignorancia! Ó pé descalço a callejar o cerebro! Ó musculos da saude de ter fechada a casa de pensar! Ó alguidar de assôrda fria na ceia-fadiga da dôr-candeia! Ó esteiras duras pr'a dormir e fazer filhos! Ó carretas da Voz do Operario com gente de preto a pé e philarmonica atraz! Ó campas razas engrinaldadas, com chapões de ferro e balões de vidro! Ó bota rôta de mendingo abandonada no pó do caminho! Ó metamorphose-selvagem das feras da cidade! Ó geração de bons ladrões crucificados na Estupidez!

Ó sanfona-saloia do fandango dos campinos!
Ó pampilho das Lezirias innundadas de Cidade!

E vós tambem, ó moças da Provincia que trazeis o verde dos campos no vermelho das faces pintadas.

E tu tambem ó mau gosto co'a saia de baixo a vêr-se e a falta d'educação! Ó oiro de pechisbegue (esperteza dos ciganos) a luzir no vermelho verdadeiro da blusa de chita! Ó tedio do domingo com botas novas e musica n'Avenida! Ó sancta Virgindade a garantir a falta de lindeza! Ó bilhete postal illustrado com apparições de beijos ao lado!

Ó Arsenal-fadista de ganga azul e côco socialista!
Ó sahidas pôr-do-sol das Fabricas d'Agonia!

E vós tambem, nojentos da Politica que exploraes eleitos o Patriotismo! Maquereaux da Patria que vos pariu…

E vós tambem, pindericos jornalistas que fazeis cocegas e outras coisas á opinião publica!

E tu tambem, roberto fardado: Futrica-te espantalho engalonado, apeia-te das patas de barro, larga a espada de matar e põe o penacho no rabo! Rálha-te mercenario, asceta da Crueldade! Espuma-te no chumbo da tua Valentia! Agoniza-te Rilhafolles armado! Desuniversidadiza-te da doutorança da chacina, da sciencia da matança! Groom fardado da Nêgra, pária da Velha! Encaveira-te nas espóras luzidias de sêres fera! Despe-te da farda, desenfia-te da Impostura, e põe te nu, ao léu que ficas desempregado! Acouraça-te de Senso, vomita de vez o morticinio, enche o pote de raciocinio, aprende a lêr corações, que ha muito mais que fazer do que fazer revoluções! Rebusca no sêres selvagem, no teu cofre do exterminio o teu calibre maximo! acaba de vez com este planeta, faze-te Deus do Mundo em dar-lhe fim! (Ha tanta coisa que fazer, Meu Deus! e esta gente distrahida em guerras!)

Olha os que não são nada por te cantarem a ti! tantos mundos! tantos genios que não fizeram nada, que deixaram este mundo tal qual! Olha os grandes o que são, estragados por ti! E de que serve o livro e a sciencia se a experiencia da vida é que faz comprehender a sciencia e o livro? Antes não ter sciencias! Antes não ter livros!

Larga a cidade masturbadora, febril, rabo decepado de lagartixa, labyrintho cego de toupeiras, raça de ignobeis myopes, tysicos, tarados, anemicos, cancerosos e arseniados! Larga a cidade! Larga a infamia das ruas e dos boulevards, esse vae-vem cynico de bandidos mudos, esse mexer esponjoso de carne viva, esse sêr-lêsma nojento e macabro, essess zig-zag de chicote auto-fustigante, esse ar expirado e espiritista, esse Inferno de Dante por cantar, esse ruido de sol prostituido, impotente e velho, esse silencio pneumonico de lua enxovalhada sem vir a lavadeira!

Larga a cidade e foge! Larga a cidade! Mas larga tudo primeiro, ouviste? Larga tudo! —Os outros, os sentimentos, os instinctos, e larga-te a ti tambem, a ti principalmente! Larga tudo e vae para o campo e larga o campo tambem! —Põe-te a nascer outra vez! Não queiras ter pae nem mãe, não queiras ter outros, nem Intelligencia! E já houve Intelligencia a mais: pode parar por aqui! Depois põe-te a viver sem cabeça, vê só o que os olhos virem, cheira os cheiros da Terra, come o que a Terra dér, bebe dos rios e dos mares, —põe-te na Natureza!

Mas tu nem vives, nem deixas viver os mais, Crápula do Egoismo, cartola d'espanta-pardaes! Mas has-de pagar-Me a febre-rodopio novêllo emmaranhado da minha dôr! Mas has-de pagar-Me a febre-calafrio abysmo descida de Eu não querer descer! Has-de pagar-Me o Absyntho e a Morfina! Hei-de ser cigana da tua sina! Hei-de ser a bruxa do teu remorso! Hei-de desforra-dôr cantar-te a buena-dicha em aguas-fortes de Goya e no cavallo de Troya e nos poemas de Poë! Hei-de feiticeira a gallope na vassoira largar-te os meus lagartos e a Peçônha! Hei-de vara magica encantar-te arte de ganir! Hei-de reconstruir em ti a escravatura nêgra! Hei-de despir-te a pelle a pouco e pouco e depois na carne viva deitar fel, e depois na carne viva semear vidros, semear gúmes, lúmes, e tiros! Hei-de gosar em ti as póses diabolicas dos theatraes venenos tragicos da persa Zoroastro! Hei-de rasgar-te as vrilhas com forquilhas e croques, e desfraldar-te nas canellas mirradas o nêgro pendão dos piratas! Hei-de corvo marinho beber-te os olhos vêsgos! Hei-de boia do Destino ser em braza e tu naufrago das galés sem horizontes verdes!

Ah que eu sinto claramente que nasci de uma praga de ciumes! Eu sou as sete pragas sobre o Nylo e a alma dos Borgias a penar!

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate .

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org .

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
