  2. seis saudade / cecelia chapman & jeff crouch

    a note by C.C.:

    Saudade
    (alma &fado)
    blues, soul & fate

    The Portuguese use the word ’saudade’ to describe themselves. Derived from Latin ‘solitude,’ saudade means a profound longing for something that can barely be remembered, may never have happened, that will never happen, or the wish for it to happen or to return to it. A person never embraced. It is a deep melancholic state, like the blues. Saudade is attached to ‘soul’ and the word ‘fate’ derived from the word ‘Fado,’ the soulful songs of Portugal.

    I suspect Romans brought the word to the Iberian Peninsula. They liked to train their legions there, who suffered intense homesickness, it is written. Caesar arrived, once, fleeing immediately, unnerved by the mists, dangerous, rocky coasts, and spooked by the natives.

    Anyway, asemic writing and the Mayan color blue brought from the Yucatan Peninsula, and used to paint sacrificial victims about to have their beating heart ripped out and then tossed into cenotes, seemed to describe saudade that is basically indescribable.
