Prometeu

 

 

 

                                               O herói sói ser

                                               como o sol,

                                               a chama que ilumina

                                               é a mesma que

                                               destrói.

 

                                               Com o fogo divino

                                               tu libertas os homens

                                               e aos deuses os iguala,

                                               mas o dilema trágico

                                               assinala:

 

                                               ainda livre tu serias

                                               se a liberdade não usasses,

                                               posto que só a tenhas

                                               por usá-la.
