5ª Conferência do Senhor Eliot

Explicação de um verso de W.H. Auden

O jardim não mudou, o silêncio está intacto

...

O homem prático pede que o avisem quando alguma coisa muda. Um poeta como Auden, ao contrário, insiste em avisar o mundo de que algumas coisas não mudam e que esse é, afinal, o seu fascínio.

Gonçalo M. Tavares, in O Senhor Eliot e as conferências

As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, 2000

"My film diaries 1970-1979: my marriage, children are born, you see them growing up. Footage of daily life, fragments of happiness and beauty, trips to France, Italy, Spain, Austria. Seasons of the year as they pass through New York. Friends, home life, nature, unending search for moments of beauty and celebration of life friendships, feelings, brief moments of happiness. The film is also my love poem to New York. It’s the ultimate Dogme movie, before the birth of Dogme." Jonas Mekas
