Nunca a esqueceu!--Nem perto do inimigo, +nem junto dos leões, na paz, nos morticinios, +na areia do deserto, ou sob o tecto amigo, +entre as danças gentis dos batalhões virgineos! +Nem no vinho de Cós! nem no phalerno antigo! +Nem debaixo da hera e myrtho dos triclinios! + +Quando chegou de Roma ás portas immortaes +sentiu seu forte amor mais jovem renascer. +E o Amor que busca a gloria, as palmas triumphaes +para as lançar aos pés pequenos de mulher, +accendeu-lhe de novo as attrações fataes +do Circo! o Circo immenso!... a gloria de vencer. + +Mas mal no Circo entrou, depois de tantos annos, +sentiu como um terror fatal, desconhecido. +O arado das paixões, do Amor, dos desenganos, +desbotaram-lhe a côr, tinham-o envelhecido. +Com um terror d'escravo ao pé dos seus tyrannos, +o gladiador sentiu-se incognito e esquecido. + +O primeiro que entrou foi um Gaulez membrudo, +um louro montanhez, um rude retiario. +D'um duro golpe só d'amalgamar o escudo +o gladiador lançou na arena o adversario. +Todo o povo applaudiu. Só Livia, o labio mudo, +desfolhava uma flor, debaixo do vellario. + +O segundo era um negro e athletico selvagem +com laivos de chacal no duro olhar sombrio, +nostalgico da luz, das sombras, da paizagem, +vasto como um deserto e fundo como um rio. +Depois de uma feroz e insolita carnagem, +sob os pés do Africano o gladiador caíu. + +O gladiador caíu cheio de pallidez +da dôr que lhe causou a espada d'aço fino, +e olhou a turba egoista, essa que tanta vez +o applaudira feroz com um rugir leonino. +Mas viu o Povo todo, em tragica mudez, +--frio, o dedo no ar, fatal como o Destino [1]. + +[1] Quando o povo romano erguia o dedo pollegar, para o ar, no +Circo, era signal funesto de morte para o gladiador vencido. + +O athleta encarou o povo novamente. +Mas ninguem se mexeu. Não perdoou ninguem. +Então o gladiador volveu o olhar ardente, +o derradeiro olhar extactico ao seu bem: +mas viu, cheio de horror! inexoravelmente! +Livia o dedo fatal erguendo ao ar tambem. + +Ninguem póde narrar o seu sorriso extranho. +Ninguem póde exprimir o seu extranho olhar. +O triste coração do Homem é tamanho +como um convulso ceu, ou como um fundo mar. +--Quem contará a dôr do escravo no seu lenho? +--Quem dirá o sorrir do heroe que vão matar? + +De certo ha de ser duro ao peito grande e forte +sentir que a sua magua a nenhum peito arou, +sentir que foi no mundo um naufrago que a Sorte +sobre um rochedo nú e tragico arrojou, +e vêr erguendo as mãos, pedindo a sua morte, +seu marmoreo ideal, o idolo que amou. + +O gladiador, então, ergueu-se de repente, +e pallido, afrontando as turbas aturdidas, +hirto, em frente de Livia, o idolo inclemente, +estas phrases soltou tristes e nunca ouvidas. +Como atravez do horror de um sonho incoherente +vibravam-lhe na voz notas desconhecidas: + +«Saúda o Cesar--disse--o athleta moribundo, +antes de abandonar o amphitheatro, o mundo, +onde a flor do Ideal nunca viceja e medra. +Eu pois que vou morrer, inevitavelmente, +faço uma saudação extranha e dissidente: +--Saude, ó meu Amor! meu Ideal de pedra!» + +Depois olhou o Sol. Em meio da carreira +elle vinha imitando o olho d'um dragão. +--E, ah! então relembrou-lhe a sua vida inteira, +sua dôr, sua morte, a sua solidão, +a sua historia triste e vida aventureira, +sem jamais encontrar no mundo um coração! + +Lembrou-lhe tudo: a infancia, e o sonho descuidado +na sua aldeia, em Chio, ao pé das carvalheiras, +o seu exilio em Roma, e o tempo torturado +sob o jugo servil das turbas extrangeiras, +depois--a Gloria, o Circo, o seu amor frustrado, +a musica da selva, e o choro das ribeiras! + +Porque não fôra elle um rude marinheiro, +luctando com o Mar, os Ventos, o Revez, +sem recear da Plebe o grito carniceiro, +nem temer o histrião calcando-o sob os pés, +e, uma noite, morrer, por entre um nevoeiro, +ou junto á loura amante, á lua das marés!? + +Porque não fôra elle um lavrador queimado, +d'essas almas virís, heroicas, e felizes, +que conhecem sómente o feno do seu prado, +nunca viram o mar e os ceus d'outros paizes, +e que enterram ao pé d'um álamo copado, +á boa luz do sol, debaixo das raizes!? + +E de novo acudiu-lhe á triste mente cheia +de saudades crueis, de rapidas lembranças, +aquella grande cruz no monte da Judea, +entre mulheres chorando e reluzentes lanças. +--E, então, quiz ser um heroe, morrendo pela Idêa, +e ouvindo uma mulher chorar de longas tranças. + +Mas era um gladiador, um histrião sómente, +escória de plebeus, e filho d'um liberto, +do qual o Povo Rei olhava indifferente, +sem magua a sua morte irremediavel, perto, +como o leão contempla as nuvens do Orienta, +ou como a esphinge fita a areia do deserto! + +Não viria ninguem de terras bem distantes +como veio a Jesus José d'Arimathêa +trazer o esquife novo, os cheiros penetrantes, +e o nitido lençol de preciosa teia, +nem feririam o ar gritos dilacerantes +quando o seu corpo vil rolasse pela areia! + +Não ouviria mais, pelos serões d'outono, +na tremula floresta o vento suspirar! +E o seu corpo votado aos corvos e ao abandono +não teria um bom campo, um monte ao pé do mar, +aonda os manes seus saíssem do seu somno, +ouvindo o rouxinol e o pescador cantar! + +Tudo isto lhe acudiu negro e tumultuoso, +rapido como um raio, ou sonho de mulher, +doce como a visão d'um bom paiz saudoso +ao naufrago que vê a esperança fallecer. +Depois, com um sorriso extremo e doloroso, +dispoz-se o gladiador, emfim, para morrer. + +Um pranto lhe rolou, lento e desenganado, +como o orvalho que cae em resequida flôr. +Porém, quando, por fim, do tronco decepado +a cabeça rolou aos pés do vencedor, +o carmezim do sol tornava ensanguentado +aquelle pranto.--Assim morreu o gladiador. + + + + + +End of Project Gutenberg's A Morte Do Athleta, by António Duarte Gomes Leal + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A MORTE DO ATHLETA *** + +***** This file should be named 22469-8.txt or 22469-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/2/2/4/6/22469/ + +Produced by Tiago Tejo + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
