Poema sobre a Primavera

Aqui vai um poema enviado pelo Artur Lopes, um grande amigo e estudante brilhante de alemão. Vale a pena ler. Aqui vai....

IM FRÜHLING

Leise sank von dunklen Schritten der Schnee,
Im Schatten des Baums
Heben die Rosigen Lider Liebende.

Immer folgt den dunklen Rufen der Schiffer
Stern und Nacht;
Und die Ruder schlagen leise im Takt.

Balde an verfallener Mauer blühen
Die Veilchen,
Ergrünt so stille die Schläfe des Einsamen.

The Earth: Our Home Planet


"Looking outward to the blackness of space, sprinkled with the glory of a universe of lights, I saw majesty - but no welcome. Below was a welcoming planet. There, contained in the thin, moving, incredibly fragile shell of the biosphere is everything that is dear to you, all the human drama and comedy. That's where life is; that's were all the good stuff is."- Loren Acton, USA (Astronaut)
