"I am beaten today, as if I knew the truth.
I am lucid, as if I was to die,
And didn't have more brotherhood with anything
Than a goodbye, becoming this house and this side of the street
The line of carriages of a train, and a loud departure
From within my mind,
And a shake of my nerves and a click of bones in the departure."

Álvaro de Campos, "Tobacco Shop", 1928

Lux Obscura - The departure

"I am today perplexed as one who thought and found and forgot.
I am today divided between the loyalty I own
To the Tobacco Shop on the other side of the street,
As real thing on the outside,
And to the sensation that everything is dream,
As real thing on the inside."

Álvaro de Campos, Tobacco Shop, 1928

Lux Obscura - Building bridges, portals and passages for the departed beloved ones

"Windows of my room,
From my room of one of the world's millions nobody knows about
(And if they knew about me, what would they know?)
You open onto the mystery of a street continually crossed by people,
A street inaccessible to all thoughts,
Real, impossibly real, certain, unknowingly certain,
With the mystery of things beneath the stones and beings,
With death making the walls damp and gray hair in men,
With Destiny driving the wagon of everything down the road of nothing."

Álvaro de Campos, "Tobacco Shop", 1928

Lux Obscura - A window to serenity

"And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

John's Revelation 18 24
