GETSÊMANI<br />

Christ in the Gethsemane Garden, oil painting by Heinrich<br />

Ferdinand Hofmann (1824/1911) – The original is at the<br />

Riverside Church – New York City<br />

O poeta fluminense Fagundes Valela descreve a<br />

noite em Jerusalém:<br />

“Jerusalém <strong>do</strong>rmia. Entre os palácios,<br />

As riquezas <strong>do</strong>s príncipes romanos,<br />

As pontifícias galas, e a penúria,<br />

A vil degradação da ínfima plebe;<br />

Entre os vastos salões, as lautas mesas,<br />

Os belos camarins, os fôfos leitos,<br />

E os tugúrios fumosos, negros, frios,<br />

Os farrapos nojentos, as lareiras<br />

Apagadas; vazia ressonava<br />

A geração de escravos e mendigos,<br />

Em cujas veias circulava ainda<br />

O sangue <strong>do</strong>s austeros patriarcas!
