"An Anthology of Twentieth-Century Brazilian Poetry" (1972)

A poem, a meme, outlives the moment, surpasses the poet, passes neglected---serendipitously selected, nudges, evolves, nurtures, dissolves. A thought, an emotion, lighter than prose (tumbles if verbose), sails (mumbles and wails) the mind (a parasite rhymed), daintily spoken (often broken), suspended in action (indulgent distraction).
