PEQUENA ANTOLOGIA GOIABAL 9
John Donne (1572-1631)
"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated. God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God's hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another."
(Trecho do Sermão XVII de "Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions", 1623. Foi desse texto que Ernest Hemingway tirou o título de "Por Quem os Sinos Dobram". Não sei em que medida acredito na história da "biblioteca" -mas que é bonita, isso é.)
