PLANICIE DOS SÉCULOS
Wanderlino Arruda
Lúcidas imagens-vivência,
doce e prolongada procura,
sensações muitas,
domínio de tempo pretérito,
sensíveis e múltiplos viveres.
Em visões de um viajar saudades,
caminhos marcam fronteiras
e horizontes redesenham matizes.
Sonhando lúdicos sonhares,

MONTE AZUL DE MARIA DA GLÓRIA

MONTE AZUL DE MARIA DA GLÓRIA
Wanderlino Arruda
Depois do amor e da fome, prevalecem nas boas cabeças e nos
justos corações - mais do que tudo - a vontade estética e o
interesse de ser imortal. É o ideal do artista, como pessoa e como
construtor do mundo e das existências do mundo. Proust, o autor de

CAIM E A TERRA DE NOD
Wanderlino Arruda
Quem foi mesmo que matou Abel
e viajou mundos em busca de amor?
Você, eu... ou o próprio Caim?
Além dos versículos de dura beleza
pouco se sabe da terra de Nod.
Em caso de aspirar antigos escritos,
por favor, apresente logo seus lances

MOMENTOS DE LUIZ DE PAULA
Wanderlino
Arruda
MOMENTOS, de Luiz de Paula, é amor e flor da natureza. Em Várzea

À MODA DE LUIZ DE PAULA
Wanderlino Arruda
Adorado viver do interior,
majestoso viver na várzea,
pertinho do Velho Chico,
melhor falando, melhor dizendo,
às margens do Guaicuí.
Tudo aqui é menos pressa,
Gostoso tempo-convívio,
moças bonitas, tardes tranqüilas,
largueza de horizontes.

MISTERIOSOS VÔOS DE ESTEVINHO
Wanderlino Arruda
Quando chegar o momento escuro,
ou a luz maior,
me deixem no caminho dos viajantes:
serei cruz à beira da estrada.
Ouvirei passos, verei homens que bebem café,
estranhos da madrugada.
Sentirei o calor da terra
e participarei de misteriosos vôos.

MULHER DE QUARENTA

MULHER DE QUARENTA
Wanderlino Arruda
Que lindo encantamento de vida,
oh! deliciosa mulher de quarenta!
Tudo de charme e beleza,
em teu ser em teu viver,

Início de maturidade,
és novo limiar de sonhos,
és e tens tudo, és e tens mais,
muito mais que especial

AO JEITO DE ESTEVINHO

AO JEITO DE ESTEVINHO
Wanderlino Arruda
Estilingue azul no pescoço,
mil sonhos para viver com você.
Correr ruas, assaltar jardins,
criar vívidas vidas, ser forte,
livrar-nos das emboscadas,
sempre gritar fantasias.
É hora de viver, lindo tempo de lutar:
toda aventura é clara e ensolarada,

SONHOS DE ESTEVINHO POETA

2006-11-08T09:42:02Z

SONHOS DE ESTEVINHO POETA
Wanderlino Arruda
Nos caminhos onde o presente é silêncio,
um som da fonte imita sentimentos
e veias do corpo inteiro.
Quando o coração treme de frio,
que desejos posso ter?
Está perdida a colheita de sonhos,
tudo que digo é lugar comum...
Deixa-me olhar teus encantos,

INICIO DAS AULAS, JOVENS MENINAS

Início das aulas, tempo-menina,
jovens meninas,
lindas e descontraídas, alegres,

saias azuis, blusas mais que modernas,
bonito alvorecer, caminhar de sonhos,

MISTÉRIO NA RUA

MISTÉRIO NA RUA
Wanderlino Arruda
Manhã de sol,
manhã de luz,
alegria em toda parte.
Gente que vai, gente que vem,
muito mistério em todos os olhos:
deve haver um interesse na rua,
pois muitos caminham depressa,
como nem sempre acontece.
Por que tanta curiosidade, meu Deus?
Deixe estar, paciência...

MOTORISTA E PEDESTRE

2006-10-12T07:29:31Z

MOTORISTA E PEDESTRE
Wanderlino Arruda
Ponha o carro na garagem
ou escolha um lugar na sombra.
Você é quem decide, só você.
Acerte pela direita,
pois a esquerda é de abrir porta
por onde o motorista sai.
Conserte a roupa:
veja se o cinto está certo,
todos os botões abotoados
e a camisa dentro da calça.

THEY'VE STOLEN MY STUMP AGAIN

2006-10-07T13:15:22Z

THEY'VE STOLEN MY STUMP AGAIN
Wanderlino Arruda
For me even as child`s play, it is an act of violence to take, in the
dead of night, my stump of twelve years of valuable service. It was a
piece of old log, damaged by the sun and rain, suffered by the bad
treatment given by the neighborhood kids, stepped on, rolled around and

THE WORD "SAUDADE"

2006-10-07T13:14:24Z

THE WORD "SAUDADE"
Wanderlino Arruda
As Bess Sondel so eloquently states, Words can evoke every emotion
possible: shock, joy, terror, happiness, nostalgia, peace... Words have
such terrifying power, they can drag one down to apathy or shoot you up
to delirium, they can exalt to extreme moral and esthetic experiences.

original text of a these for a p.h.d. of her sister Teresinha Souto
Ward. Presented at Stanford University, U.S. A beautiful and wise
dissertation that submitted to the Spanish and Portuguese Language

THE NUDITY OF SUMMER

2006-10-07T13:13:33Z

THE NUDITY OF SUMMER
Wanderlino Arruda
Once more, summer comes rolling around again, and with it, the
scintillating universe of young, golden female flesh languidly lounging
along sparkling pool-sides and sizzling beaches. Perhaps this is no
surprise to you, being that each and every year does have its own

THE MULE DARCY RIBEIRO

2006-10-07T13:13:11Z

THE MULE DARCY RIBEIRO
Wanderlino Arruda
The presentation of the second romance of Darcy Ribeiro - "The
Mule"- at the Montes Claros Academy of Literature, on one of those
languid Friday nights in December, was an encounter with happiness and
contrasts, with a loved and respected, even feared, son of the city, to

THE MONTES CLAROS ROTARY CLUB

THE MONTES CLAROS ROTARY CLUB
Wanderlino Arruda
Now that we are approaching the completion and commemoration of eighty
portentous years of Rotary in Brazil, Rotary being founded at Rio de
Janeiro, in 1923, it now seems opportune to expound upon the creation
of the first Rotary founded at Montes Claros in 1926. This was the same

THE MONTES CLAROS ACADEMY OF LITERATURE

THE MONTES CLAROS ACADEMY OF LITERATURE
Wanderlino Arruda
Passed adolescence, almost arriving at the legal age of twenty, our
Academy of Literature is having its 20 year birthday celebration. It
always was turned toward cultural care and the encaminamento of the
writers of the land for the paths of the literature and theory of

THE HUNGER OF ADAUTO'S LION

2006-10-07T13:11:12Z

THE HUNGER OF ADAUTO'S LION
Wanderlino Arruda
Who has been responsible for the largest number of anecdotes and the
butt of about as many jokes about poor circuses is Adauto Freire. My
contribution has been the most generous possible, but I could never
have had as much imagination as he, every moment flashing a new

THE GREAT EMPEROR

2006-10-07T13:10:48Z

THE GREAT EMPEROR
Wanderlino Arruda
Some time ago, I decided to write about the emperor Dom Pedro II, one
of the most admirable personalities of our so neglected and forgotten
Brazilian history. Why I chose him, I can't say. I only know that the
son of Dom Pedro I, and father of Princess Isabel always fascinated me

THE ESPERANTO FRATERNITY

2006-10-07T13:10:26Z

THE ESPERANTO FRATERNITY
Wanderlino Arruda
Everything was ready in Campinas, São Paulo for a great meeting of
fraternity and great happiness. Over three hundred inscriptions had
already arrived from all over Brazil and curiously enough, from
Argentina, Uruguay, Peru and Colombia. Just from Bahia state alone,

THE DICTIONARY: FATHER OF SCHOLARS

2006-10-07T13:10:11Z

THE DICTIONARY: FATHER OF SCHOLARS
Wanderlino Arruda
The wise guy that nicknamed the dictionary as "the father of mules"
committed a grave injustice to humanity, or at least to the humanity of
the Portuguese language. But really, kidding or not, just how many
people keep away from the lexicon and avoid consulting it to appear

THE DELICIOUS VOICE OF EDITH PIAF

2006-10-07T13:09:34Z

THE DELICIOUS VOICE OF EDITH PIAF
Wanderlino Arruda
It's necessary to always discover the pleasant and noble side of
every moment of our lives. Chasing happiness is an obligation and the
search in itself should be enough reason to make us happy. That's
what happens to me every time that I walk into the entrance hall at the

THE CALENDER

2006-10-07T13:09:08Z

THE CALENDER
Wanderlino Arruda
Last week I told the story about the Reader's Digest editions I
received, a present sent by Nathércio França. I told of the long wait
I had for them to arrive and of the pure joy I felt at finally having
them in my anxious hands, and the pleasure I still have in reading

THE AMAZING CARUARU MARKET-FAIR

2006-10-07T13:08:41Z

THE AMAZING CARUARU MARKET-FAIR
Wanderlino Arruda
If it's bigger than the one in Morocco, I have no idea. If it is
something like a boisterous exotic Persian street market, I can't
truthfully say either because I've been to neither. But, one thing I
do know for sure: The Caruaru street market-fair is or probably should

THE ALMANAC

2006-10-07T13:08:25Z

THE ALMANAC
Wanderlino Arruda
There is much deliciously enjoyable literature circulating about in the
form of books, newspapers and magazines. There is also much pleasantry
to be had in the reading of letters from friends, small messages or
even from loose pages, displaced and forgotten. But what is really

TEN YEARS OF PAINT AND BRUSHES

2006-10-07T13:08:01Z

TEN YEARS OF PAINT AND BRUSHES
Wanderlino Arruda
I remember as if it were yesterday, the day that, at the house of
Samuel Figueira, myself, giving advice, more than usual, about his
style of painting, in his use of color, in the choice of his themes and
probably even about the proper evolution of his art. I really must have

THE "INCONFIDENT" REBEL ALEIJADINHO

2006-10-07T13:07:40Z

THE "INCONFIDENT" REBEL ALEIJADINHO
Wanderlino Arruda
I don't remember when I was at the Congonhas do Campo last, but I
remember very well with what objective and with whom I went up and down
old streets and hills peopled by magnificent statues, and other
sculpted art of Aleijadinho. We know that sculpture work is his when

REINILSON CAMARA

2006-10-07T13:07:09Z

REINILSON CAMARA
Wanderlino Arruda
Only the man has and finds in the language a wayto satisfy yearnings.
The function triple of that Karl Buhler becomes fullfilled itself for
the communication necessity, either in the utterion of impulses, either
in the logical information of lived experiences. They are - for the

PUBLIUS VERGILIUS, YESTERDAY AND TODAY

2006-10-07T13:06:35Z

PUBLIUS VERGILIUS, YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Wanderlino Arruda
Of all the hallowed names of universal art, I believe that the greatest
patron of nature until the present day, has been the poet, Vergilius, a
Roman, native of Andes, near Mantua, in the north of Italy. Even though
he is far from being our contemporary by date of birth, it's true

FEELINGS POEMS BY WANDERLINO ARRUDA

2006-10-07T13:06:14Z

FEELINGS POEMS BY WANDERLINO ARRUDA
William Lee Barnes
Reading Wanderlino is like walking barefoot in the early morning dew or
a soft and sudden spring shower. It touches the middle places in our
hearts that we can never quite define, with his counter-attack of other
world, timeless expressions of novel, sensual and sensorial expressions

CANDIDO PORTINARI

2006-10-07T13:05:43Z

CANDIDO PORTINARI
Wanderlino Arruda
Who once told me with much tenderness about Cândido Portinari, was my
friend Henrique Tondinelli Filho, companion neighbor and partner in
passion for painting. My opposite by birthplace...me from the north and
he, from the south, me from São João, he from São Sebastião do

NATHERCIO FRANÇA

2006-10-07T13:05:19Z

NATHERCIO FRANÇA
Wanderlino Arruda
I am of those that hold that the reason for life, or existence, is to
do the right thing, be content, always at peace with your past and
confident in your future. I am of those that believe that the best day
of our lives is today, this present moment.
The rational behavior, at the present, is to forgive the errors of the

MEMORIES OF ADRIANO

2006-10-07T13:05:01Z

MEMORIES OF ADRIANO
Wanderlino Arruda
It was with uncontained happiness that I received from Rachel, my
sister in law, borrowed and new, the book, "Memories of Adriano".
She, a constant reader, had read only the first pages, excusing herself
for the lack of time, for a so detailed subject, so repetitive by the

LISBON AND THE BRAZILIANS

2006-10-07T13:04:27Z

LISBON AND THE BRAZILIANS
Wanderlino Arruda
When Wladenia turns eighteen she is able to vote, goes to driving
school and is simply ecstatic with the fact that she is finally an
adult. Her happiness, which is also mine and her mother's, has, in
me, an additional effect: a feeling of missing Lisbon and other good

JOY OF NATURE

2006-10-07T13:03:48Z

JOY OF NATURE
Wanderlino Arruda
Earlier than usual, Olimpia woke me up, before six, and told me that it
was raining. She wanted to know if I had brought in the clothes off the
clothesline, as she had asked me to do last night, when I arrived from
the University.
Being the perfect husband, I sleepily mumbled yes, and was suddenly

JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL

2006-10-07T13:03:30Z

JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL
Wanderlino Arruda
Flying up in the brilliant blue sky, trying hard to hold his wings in
tight on a painful curve, Jonathan lifts his beak, pointing at the
clouds...and flies. Flying is very important, as vital to life as
living or eating, perhaps even more, at least for Jonathan, a seagull

JOÃO MORAIS, MY GRANDPA

2006-10-07T13:03:06Z

JOÃO MORAIS, MY GRANDPA
Wanderlino Arruda
Of all the people that I have known well, old Joao Morais, my
grandfather, seems to have been the only man that has ever lived more
than eighty years of everlasting joy. It was as if he was a lifetime
card-carrying member of an exclusive "happiness club". He had all

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEIRUTE

2006-10-07T13:02:40Z

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BEIRUTE
Wanderlino Arruda
On the day after I went to the Beirute restaurant, in Brasilia, the
majority of my collegues at work, insistently reminded me to tell them
one of the three versions that I made up to tell the story of our
adventure that lasted until the beginning of early morning. It seemed

IT'S GOOD TO SPEAK OF MARILIA
Wanderlino Arruda
My daughter, Wladênia, arrives home and says that her teacher Neide
Pimenta wants me to give a speech to her students at the St. Joseph
high school. The day and hour have already been scheduled according to
my available time. At the auditorium will be over one hundred students

HAROLDO, THE BARON OF GRÃO MOGOL

2006-10-07T13:01:11Z

HAROLDO, THE BARON OF GRÃO MOGOL
Wanderlino Arruda
The story in itself is in all quite common and in keeping with the
canons of modern commerce, fruit of those eternal principles, offer and
demand. It's a tale of give and take, naturally involving costs and
coins, common to any given commercial transaction. But only a poet can

EUCLIDES WILL NEVER DIE

2006-10-07T13:00:20Z

EUCLIDES WILL NEVER DIE
Wanderlino Arruda
Only the divine can be more important and have more worth than man and
the earth on which he lives. Beneath the divine, rests the power of
creation, great in itself...cosmic plasticity and telluric mortar. But
of even greater worth than the transcendental and divine...is the poet!

EDUCATORS AND JEQUITIBÁS

2006-10-07T13:00:00Z

EDUCATORS AND JEQUITIBÁS
Wanderlino Arruda
It all started with an analogy done by Rubem Alves, in his book "TALK
TO WHO WANTS TO TEACH", making a comparison between Jequitibás and
Eucalyptus trees, for confrontation or synchronization between
educators and professors. What differences exist between an educator

CIRCUSES AND CLOWNS

2006-10-07T12:59:11Z

CIRCUSES AND CLOWNS
Wanderlino Arruda
That's right! Who doesn't miss going to the circus. Who doesn't
hold, deep inside, among the twinges of the heart, warm excited
feelings and memories of the first wondrous visit to the circus? Who
doesn't remember the first old clown in colorful fantasy clothes, big

BATHING, A BRAZILIAN MANIA

2006-10-07T12:58:40Z

BATHING, A BRAZILIAN MANIA
Wanderlino Arruda
Father Aderbal Murta tells that the dean of the Louvain University, in
Belgium, wasn't at all pleased when the brazilian seminarists that
were arriving there started asking for a bathroom, no matter how small,
among the immense group of buildings, something that they considered to

AN EARLY MORNING DREAM

2006-10-07T12:58:18Z

AN EARLY MORNING DREAM
Wanderlino Arruda
Normally, I would arrive at the house of professor Jose Oliveira
Fonseca, on Carlos Perreira street, at five in the morning. Every
morning, from Monday to Saturday, there we would be for our class of
syntax analysis and other more objective topics of the Portuguese
