Dica De Filosofia Para O Que Resta Da Sua Vida

Foi avisado.

The Emperor of Ice-Cream

 Call the roller of big cigars,

The muscular one, and bid him whip

In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.

Let the wenches dawdle in such dress

As they are used to wear, and let the boys

Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.

Let be be finale of seem.

The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal.

Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet

On which she embroidered fantails once

And spread it so as to cover her face.

If her horny feet protrude, they come

To show how cold she is, and dumb.

Let the lamp affix its beam.

The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Wallace Stevens explained how he came up with it:

"I went, as a neighbor, to a house to help to layout the corpse of an

old woman who had died alone; I was helping to prepare for the home

wake. I entered, familiarly, not by the front door but by the

kitchen door. I was shocked and repelled as I went into the kitchen

by the disorderly festival going on inside: a big muscular neighbor

who worked at the cigar-factory had been called in to crank the ice-

cream machine, various neighbors had  sent over their scullery-girls

to help out and their yard-boys bearing  newspaper-wrapped flowers

from their yards to decorate the house and the  bier: the scullery-

girls were taking advantage of the occasion to dawdle around the

kitchen and flirt with the yard-boys, and they were all waiting

around to have a taste of the ice-cream when it was finished. It all

seemed to me crude and boisterous and squalid and unfeeling in the

house of the dead- all that appetite, all that concupiscence.

Then I left the sexuality and gluttony of the kitchen and went in to

the death in the bedroom. The corpse of the old woman was lying

exposed on the bed. My first impulse was to find a sheet to cover

the corpse; I went to the cheap old pine dresser, but it was hard to

get the sheet out of it because each of the three drawers was

lacking a drawer-pull; she must have been too infirm to get to the

store to get new glass knobs. But I got a sheet out, noticing that

she had hand-embroidered a fantail border on it; she wanted to make

it beautiful, even though she was so poor that she made her own

sheets, and cut them as minimally as she could so as to get as many

as possible out of a length of cloth. She cut them so short, in

fact, that when I pulled the sheet up far enough to cover her face,

it was too short to cover her feet. It was almost worse to have to

look at her old calloused feet than to look at her face; somehow her

feet were more dead, more mute, than her face had been.

She is dead, and the fact cannot be hidden by any sheet.  What

remains after death, in the cold light of reality, is life-all of

that life, with its coarse muscularity and crude hunger and greedy

concupiscence, that is going on in the kitchen. The only god of this

world is the cold god of persistent life and appetite; and I must

look steadily at this repellent but true tableau-the animal life in

the kitchen, the corpse in the back bedroom. Life offers no other

tableau of reality, once we pierce beneath appearances."
