A Carraça: A figura da semana.

A VOZ DO SILÊNCIO E DA SOLIDÃO IMENSA..

A pessoa que sou é única, limitada a um nascer e a um morrer, presente a si mesma e que só à sua face é verdadeira, é autêntica, decide em verdade a autenticidade de tudo quanto realizar. Assim a sua solidão, que persiste sempre talvez como pano de fundo em toda a comunicação, em toda a comunhão, não é 'isolamento'. Porque o isolamento implica um corte com os outros; a solidão implica apenas que toda a voz que a exprima não é puramente uma voz da rua, mas uma voz que ressoa no silêncio final, uma voz que fala do mais fundo de si, que está certa entre os homens como em face do homem só. O isolamento corta com os homens: a solidão não corta com o homem. A voz da solidão difere da voz fácil da fraternidade fácil em ser mais profunda e em estar prevenida.
