PLANICIE DOS SÉCULOS
Wanderlino Arruda
Lúcidas imagens-vivência,
doce e prolongada procura,
sensações muitas,
domínio de tempo pretérito,

Em visões de um viajar saudades,
caminhos marcam fronteiras
e horizontes redesenham matizes.

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

Wanderlino Arruda
Quem foi mesmo que matou Abel

À MODA DE LUIZ DE PAULA
Wanderlino Arruda
Adorado viver do interior,
majestoso viver na várzea,
pertinho do Velho Chico,
melhor falando, melhor dizendo,

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.

AO JEITO DE ESTEVINHO
Wanderlino Arruda
Estilingue azul no pescoço,
mil sonhos para viver com você.

toda aventura é clara e ensolarada,

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
Wanderlino Arruda
Início das aulas, tempo-menina,
jovens meninas,

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
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
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"
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.

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
Wanderlino Arruda
The presentation of the second romance of Darcy Ribeiro - "The

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
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 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

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
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
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
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
Wanderlino Arruda
Last week I told the story about the Reader's Digest editions I

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
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
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
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

Wanderlino Arruda
I don't remember when I was at the Congonhas do Campo last, but I

old streets and hills peopled by magnificent statues, and other
sculpted art of Aleijadinho. We know that sculpture work is his when

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
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

Who once told me with much tenderness about Cândido Portinari, was my

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
Wanderlino Arruda
It was with uncontained happiness that I received from Rachel, my

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
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
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
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
Wanderlino Arruda
Of all the people that I have known well, old Joao Morais, my

card-carrying member of an exclusive "happiness club". He had all

On the day after I went to the Beirute restaurant, in Brasilia, the

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

coins, common to any given commercial transaction. But only a poet can

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!

That's right! Who doesn't miss going to the circus. Who doesn't

feelings and memories of the first wondrous visit to the circus? Who
doesn't remember the first old clown in colorful fantasy clothes, big
