VER A NOITE (Corrigido)

Está uma noite muito fria, escura, quase silenciosa. Pela primeira vez, de há muito tempo, o céu mostra parte do seu esplendor, com as constelações bem vincadas. Com os olhos mais habituados ao escuro, começam a delinear-se a Via Láctea, Orionte, Escorpião, as Ursas. Orionte, como sempre, manda na noite e em mim, pela voz de Robert Frost:

You know Orion always comes up sideways.
Throwing a leg up over our fence of mountains,
And rising on his hands, he looks in on me
Busy outdoors by lantern-light with something
I should have done by daylight, and indeed,
After the ground is frozen, I should have done
Before it froze, and a gust flings a handful
Of waste leaves at my smoky lantern chimney
To make fun of my way of doing things,
Or else fun of Orion's having caught me.”
