Meditações - relógios, relógios, relógios

Here is a face that says half-past seven the same way whether a murder or a wedding goes on, whether a funeral or a picnic crowd passes.

A tall one I know at the end of a hallway broods in shadows and is watching booze eat out the insides of the man of the house; it has seen five hopes go in five years: one woman, one child, and three dreams.

A little one carried in a leather box by an actress rides with her to hotels and is under her pillow in a sleeping-car between one-night stands.

One hoists a phiz over a railroad station; it points numbers to people a quarter-mile away who believe it when other clocks fail.

And of course … there are wrist watches over the pulses of airmen eager to go to France…

Carl Sandburg

De relógios a dar horas
a nossa vida está cheia,
não permitindo demoras
em tudo que nos rodeia!
