The Sarabite: Towards an Aesthetic Christianity

There is a continuous attraction, beginning with God, going to the world, and ending at last with God, an attraction which returns to the same place where it began as though in a kind of circle. -Marsilio Ficino

For AG


First Antiphon

...The labor of days.

You are the dew
That burns this longing,
Frightened blinks of
The sun through leaves-
Perilous depth
So fragrant and luminous-
The sweetness,
The scourge,
The beckoning of morning.

Opened up
Like a bitter bottle
Of wine,
The flow of grass
Red:
The drowsiness
Of the sky.

Certain notes I have
Hummed
Softly
That conjure the fairness
Of your eyes,

Your hair spilling
Like dusk
Over the folds
Of the pillow;

That which spells, grows,
And dreams
The remnant of a kiss,
The shell of joyful
Slumber
That fills this room
With bliss.

-Arturo Vasquez

Have you ever read Nelson Rodrigues, the greatest Brazilian playwright? For some reason, I really believe you would enjoy his plays, also available in English as "The Theater of Nelson Rodrigues" and others.
