Description Born in the mediocrity of this world...to die in the same way.
This is the embryo of Mankind...This is life...and death.



Cântico Negro

"Vem por aqui" - dizem-me alguns com olhos doces,
Estendendo-me os braços, e seguros
De que seria bom se eu os ouvisse
Quando me dizem: "vem por aqui"!
Eu olho-os com olhos lassos,
(Há, nos meus olhos, ironias e cansaços)
E cruzo os bracos,
E nunca vou por ali...

A minha glória é esta:
Criar desumanidade!
Nao acompanhar ninguém.
Que eu vivo com o mesmo sem-vontade
Com que rasguei o ventre a minha mãe.

Nao, nao vou por aí! So vou por onde
Me levam meus próprios passos...

Se ao que busco saber nenhum de vós responde,
Por que me repetis: "vem por aqui"?
Prefiro escorregar nos becos lamacentos,
Redemoinhar aos ventos,
Como farrapos, arrastar os pés sangrentos,
A ir por aí...

Se vim ao mundo, foi
Só para desflorar florestas virgens,
E desenhar meus próprios pés na areia inexplorada!
O mais que faço nao vale nada.

Como, pois, sereis vós
Que me dareis machados, ferramentas, e coragem
Para eu derrubar os meus obstáculos?...
Corre, nas vossas veias, sangue velho dos avós,
E vós amais o que e fácil!
Eu amo o Longe e a Miragem,
Amo os abismos, as torrentes, os desertos...

Ide! tendes estradas,
Tendes jardins, tendes canteiros,
Tendes pátrias, tendes tectos,
E tendes regras, e tratados, e filósofos, e sábios.
Eu tenho a minha Loucura!

Levanto-a, como um facho, a arder na noite escura,
E sinto espuma, e sangue, e cânticos nos lábios...

Deus e o Diabo e que me guiam, mais ninguém.
Todos tiveram pai, todos tiveram mãe;
Mas eu, que nunca principio nem acabo,
Nasci do amor que há entre Deus e o Diabo.

Ah, que ninguém me dê piedosas intenções!
Ninguém me peça definições!
Ninguém me diga: "vem por aqui"!
A minha vida é um vendaval que se soltou.
É uma onda que se alevantou.
É um atomo a mais que se animou...
Não sei por onde vou,
Não sei para onde vou,
Sei que não vou por aí.

I think the concept behind the shot is a good way, however, I do not think that the idea is portrayed in a way a normal person can take it in. Perhaps if the embryo was visible rather then metaphorical or maybe that little dripping near the top of the shot really is the embryo going down the drain, I have no clue.

I just did a shot like this for a movie and my film instructor always told me that the modern person is an idiot and you need to lay it out for them.

Otherwise, I like it.
