encontros & fontes / gatherings & sources
Queria deixar o meu agradecimento a todos os que aturaram o meu discurso no 297º encontro da Tertúlia BD de Lisboa, na última terça-feira, e em particular a Geraldes Lino, mais do que o seu organizador e fundador, um confesso militante da B.D., que entre tantos outros esforços, mantém este encontro vivo há mais de duas décadas.
º
I would also like to sustain that night’s dedication, sacred to the memory of Vasco Granja, great promoter of the comic-book and animation forms, who passed away just the day before, with 83 years. Vasco Granja was, for me, and so many other Portuguese, a unique source of animated culture, namely through his programs in national TV. Besides having fought against the Estado Novo’s regime censorship, at whose hands he was tortured, Vasco Granja was the sole culprit of me thinking, during my early years as a tv viewer, that the National Film Board of Canada logo was some sort of Universal Symbol of ‘Toons. Lotte Reuniger, Tex Avery, Jiri Trinka and Norman McLaren are but a sample of the pantheon I owe him and that brought me here. Thank you

Lilavati
º
page 1
There was once a day when the great mathematician Bhāskara
consulted the horoscope of his daughter, Lilavati.
The stars said that if the marriage of Lilavati didn't happen on the
most auspicious of all hours, the mathematician's daughter
would be, soon, a widow.
Bhāskara ordered then that the exactitude of the hour was to
be assured by the most precise water-clock of all India
page 2
However, while waiting for the right hour, the bride Lilavati
bent over the waters of the clock, trying to guess how much
waiting time was still ahead.
It was then that something happened. Without anyone noticing
the hour went by, and with it, the groom's longevity was gone.
At night, someone said that a pearl is something perfect that an
oyster does with what hurts her inside.

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
