LIBERTY ISLAND

"O, beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

from sea to shining sea.

O, beautiful, for pilgrim feet

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

America! America!

God mend thine ev'ry flaw;

Confirm thy soul in self control,

thy liberty in law!

O, beautiful, for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America!

May God thy gold refine,

Til all success be nobleness,

and ev'ry gain divine!

O, beautiful, for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

from sea to shining sea!"

VENTANAL

Fotografía tomada en Brookfield Place, New York, el día 14 de enero a las 0916hs.

"Ventanal, ventanal,

cristal del tiempo vano.

Tu mano,

la magnolia de tu mano,

desmayada en el fangal

del barrio hermano.

Ventanal, ventanal,

tu mal

lloraba al piano.

Y todo tan sencillo

y tan lejano

como el grillo y el verano,

como vos y como yo.

Sé que es imposible y que no hay nada.

Sé que ya no existe tu balcón.

Sé que en tu esperanza desgarrada

la ventana alucinada se cerró.

Vuelve a recorrer la misma senda,

déjame abrigarte, corazón.

Llámame otra vez para que entienda

que tu voz en una senda me esperó.

Ventanal, ventanal,

total,

llegó el invierno

mojando aquel eterno

verso tierno

que fue luz sentimental

en tu cuaderno.

Ventanal, ventanal,

ya sé que fue la vida,

y todo en un final

de adiós pequeño,

donde estabas como un sueño

malherida en tu percal."

Héctor Stamponi y Cátulo Castillo
