“The blind man sits in the dark, but for guests he turns on the light.”
12 Years Before Now, In Jerusalem, the Skies are Lower (1991).
“Love is blind; but it makes you see the blind man; teetering on the roadside…”

“He was their leader because he was a man on whom the blinding light sometimes descended.”
Source: Space Chantey (1968), Ch. 6
Context: Something was working in Roadstrum's little ape head. When he had been a man he had always known when it was time for action; particularly he had always known the last moment when action was still possible. He knew now that that moment was come very near. … Then a blinding light burst upon Roadstrum, and he saw the truth of the situation. Many things Roadstrum was not, and it was sometimes wondered why he was the natural leader of all the men. He was their leader because he was a man on whom the blinding light sometimes descended.
"Blinded by the Light"
Song lyrics, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)
As almas das poetisas são todas feitas de luz, como as dos astros: não ofuscam, iluminam...
Contos – À Margem dum Soneto (O Dominó Preto); quoted in Citações e Pensamentos de Florbela Espanca (2012), p. 39

“A song nobody likes is a sad thing. But a love song nobody likes is hardly a thing at all.”
