achei um sebo otimo aqui... com uma grande estante de poesia. E achei a Bishop, " Edgar Allan Poe & the Juke-box - Uncollected Poems, Drafts and Fragments." Fantastico o livro, tem varios poemas desconhecidos dela e, no final, um conjunto de fac-similes com todos os rascunhos de "One Art" da primeira versao (que reproduzo abaixo) ate a versao definitiva, publicada no The New Yorker, na edicao de 26 de Abril de 1976.
HOW TO LOSE THINGS? / THE GIFT OF LOSING THINGS
One might begin by losing one's reading glasses
oh 2 or 3 times a day - or one's favorite pen.
THE ART OF LOSING THINGS
The thing to do is to begin "mislaying".
Mostly, one begin by "mislaying":
keys, reading-glasses, fountain pens
- these are almost too easy to be mentioned,
and "mislaying" means that they usually turn up
in the most obvious place, although when one
is making progress, the places grow more unlikely
- This is by way of introduction. I really
want to introduce myself. I am such a
fantastic lly good at losing things
I think everyone shd. profit my experiences.
You may find it hard to believe, but I have actually lost
I mean lost, and forever, two whole houses,
one a very big one. A thir house, also big, is
at present, I think "mislaid" - but
maybe it's lost too. I won't know for sure for some time.
I have lost one peninsula and one island.
I have lost - it can never be has never been found -
a small-sized town on that same island.
I've lost smaller bits of geography, like
a splendid beach, and a good-sized bay.
Two whole cities, two of the
world's biggest cities (two of the most beautiful
although that's beside the point)
A piece of a continent
and one entire continent. All gone, gone forever and ever.
One might think this would have prepared for me
for losing one average-sized not exceptionally
beautiful or dazzling intelligent person
(excepto for blues eyes)
But it doesn't seem to have, at all...
a good piece of one continent
and another continent - the whole damned thing!
He who lose his life, etc. - but he who
loses his love - never, no never never never again.
