(Primeiros versos)


Angra do Heroismo

A MEU AV

O SNR. ANTONIO RODRIGUES DE FREITAS




+LYRA DA MOCIDADE+


Os versos na mocidade
   Todos fazem, e a razo
    serem necessidade
   Aos risos do corao.

O futuro cr de roza,
   O mundo cheio de encantos;
   A nossa alma jubilosa
   No chorou amargos prantos.

Desde o ar que se respira,
   Ao ceo da cr de saphira,
   Tudo ri e diz--Amar!

E contemplando a belleza,
   O sorrir da natureza,
   Sabemos todos cantar.




+ELLA+


O busto esculptural e primoroso,
   O brao torneado, a linda mo,
   O rosto avelludado e to mimozo
   Que da roza assemelha-se ao boto.

O cabello d'um negro to lustroso,
   A boquinha vermelha,  perfeio!
   O olhar d'um fulgr to radioso,
   Que belleza e ternura d'expresso!

Ao vl-a devaneio, fico louco,
   Creio que o meu amr todo inda  pouco
   Lembrei-me, e se deixasse de a adorar?

Pode deixar d'amar-se os astros lindos,
   Do ceo e terra os dons os bens infindos,
   A luz doce e to pura do luar?


Angra do Heroismo,
1890




+O MAR+


Gigante irrequieto, immenso mar,
   Inspira-me to funda nostalgia
   O teu sonoro e doce murmurar!

Quando ao sol posto a areia luzidia
   Tu vens traquillamente rebeijar
   N'alma despertas maga poesia.

O teu esverdeado transparente
   Fala-nos meigamente d'esperana
   A ondular poetico, dolente,

Beijado pelas auras da bonana;
   Parece-me o brincar puro, innocente,
   Inofensivo e meigo da creana!

     *     *     *     *     *

Mas quando agitas o teu seio immenso
   No voltear das vagas alterosas
   Rugindo com fragor enorme, intenso,

J no tem expresses harmoniosas
   Teu palpitar e n'essa hora eu penso
   Em coisas bem sinistras, pavorosas.

 monstro, no teu seio tens sumido
   Victimas aos milhes, causas terror,
   Tens navios, cidades engulido.

Ser um cro de vingana e dr
   Das victimas,  mar, o teu rugido,
   Ou do remorso o pvido clamor?

Aos Revolucionarios do Porto


Foi ha um anno j! Leaes, ardentes
   Filhos do nosso querido Portugal,
   Viva, viva a Republica! Valentes,
   Bradaram em hosana triumphal,

Ao som da Portugueza revoltados,
   Hastearam ao sol nosso pendo,
   E pelo Justo Ideal, rudes soldados,
   Luctaram sempre at morder o cho!

Os cerbros fieis da monarchia
   Afogaram, porm, a rebeldia
   Em ondas de bom sangue, carniceiros!

E os bravos que luctavam com esperana
   Cahiram a bradar: Odio! Vingana!
   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    tempo j! Vingar os Companheiros!

   Um soldado um heroe pr'a salvar Portugal!


Acto I Scena final




+PORQUE TE AMO+


Amo-te porque s to linda
   Como  linda a luz do sol,
   Tens o frescor da alvorada,
   Tens a cr afogueada
   Como os tons d'um arrebol.

Amo-te porque s to bella
   Como  bella a flr mimosa
   Que viceja n'um jardim,
   A aucena ou o jasmim,
   O lyrio, o cravo, uma roza.

Amo-te porque fascinas
   Com esse olhar fulgurante
   Que asseteia os coraes,
   D'esses olhos dois carves,
   A graa do teu semblante.

Amo-te porque s bonita
   Com esse preto cabello,
   Em anneis fulvos, sedosos,
   Cobrindo os hombros formosos
   Fulgurante, crespo, bello.

Amo-te emfim porque s meiga
   Qual pomba que arrulha mansa,
   Porque s boa e carinhosa,
   E esta alma angustiosa
   Precisa d'amor, creana.

Precisa d'amor! No sabes
   Que  luctar o viver?
   O homem soffre amarguras
   Por isso busca ternuras
   No seio d'uma mulher.


Angra do Heroismo
1892




+A SAUDADE+


Era de tarde ao pr do sol, a brisa
   Vinha fagueira a remecher as flres,
   Iam velozes sobre a fronte liza
   Do Tejo d'ouro de ideaes amores,

Ligeiros barcos, avesinhas mansas.
   Desferidos em harpas geniaes,
   Por virgens d'olhar meigo e loiras tranas,
   Vinham threnos sublimes, ideaes.

O mundo todo pleno d'harmonia.
   Eu, s, fitava a solido do mar
   Dominado d'ideal melancolia.

E que buscava ento na immensidade?
    que me vinha fundo cruciar
   O acerado espinho da saudade!


Algs, 1890




+ESPERANA+


Fitei o teu retrato tristemente
   Cansado do trabalho, sem alento,
   O espirito meu n'esse momento
   Soffria acerbamente, amargamente.

Comtemplei-o e dei-lhe um beijo ardente
   Para desafogar o sofrimento,
   Pareceu-me que sorrias, pensamento
   Que me passou no cerebro latente.

E fui abandonado pl'a tristeza,
   Recobrei para a lucta mais vigor
   Trabalharei tenaz e com firmeza.

Vou-me tornar estoico contra a dor.
   Eu vi n'esse sorrir de tal belleza
   A firme espr'ana d'um eterno amor!


Lisboa, 1891




+ MEMORIA

DE

ALFREDO LOPES+


Viver! O que  viver! Arrastar a existencia
   No vasto labyrintho onde s reina a dor;
   N'um pouco de materia  guia a consciencia
   Quasi a perder-se a fora, a faltar o valor.

Morrer! Passar alm! Da lucta repousar,
   Deixar por uma vez do mundo as agonias;
   Descer  terra me, os lyrios fecundar,
   Servir de refeio aos vermes nas orgias.

Mas coisa alguma nasce e coisa alguma morre.
   Transforma-se a materia em mil combinaes:
   Seiva, no vegetal as hastes lhe percorre;
   Sangue, faz palpitar os nossos coraes.

Tu ento no morreste; apenas d'esta lida
   Immensa, em que mostraste o fulgido talento,
   Descanas. No teu corpo ha ainda essa vida
   Que palpita da terra ao proprio firmamento.

A vida da materia. Ento bellas, formozas,
   Por cima d'essa campa onde agora repouzas,
   Ho-de brotar de ti as lindas flores viosas
   Na vaga poesia harmonica das cousas.

Rosas a recordar teu risonho futuro,
   A tua juventude os cravos em boto,
   O martyrio o finar na dr to prematuro,
   O cypreste a lembrar teu grande corao!


Angra do Heroismo,
9-9-88




+A REVOLUO+


Campeia a tyrania, esmaga, oprime,
   E da vontade o despota faz lei,
   Do povo a justa voz cala, reprime,
   Ou dictador, ou presidente, ou rei.

Calca aos ps os direitos mais sagrados
   E trucida os que querem reagir,
   Apoiam-n'o as bayonetas dos soldados
   No teme pois da plebe o rebramir.

Mas de repente os odios comprimidos
   Estalam sanguinosos, em rugidos,
   Irrompem como a lava do vulco,

Fazem voar o throno em estilhaos,
   A liberdade impe com rudes braos,
    a tua grande obra--Revoluo--


Lisboa 1891




+ASPIRAES+


Oh! Quem me dera beijar-te
   A tua face rosada,
   Esses labios de carmim.
   Oh! Quem podesse abraar-te
   E gozar,  gentil fada,
   Caricias ternas, sem fim.

Quem podesse contra o seio
   Estreitar-te e essa boquinha
   Sorvel-a n'um beijo quente,
   E sentir-te em devaneio
   Palpitar, gosar, louquinha,
   Caricias de amor ardente.

Desprezando os preconceitos
   Sellemos com esse amor
   Potente da nossa edade,
   Estreitando os nossos peitos,
   Em plena vida d'amor,
   Mil juras de felicidade!

Que dizes, linda, pois cras?
   Antegosas as delicias?
   Suspiras rubra de pejo?
   Ou na tua mente infloras
   Esses milhes de caricias
   O amoroso d'um beijo?

Pois bem, gozemos, meu anjo,
   E sejamos sempre queridos
   Um do outro, minha flr,
   E das delicias o archanjo
   Venha achar nos sempre unidos
   Gozando do nosso amor!


Angra do Heroismo,
1892




+OS CREPES DE CAMES+


Portugal jz por terra! Esta patria querida
   Dos fortes, dos heroes, dos rudes marinheiros,
   Esta nao valente, homerica, aguerrida
   Que soube rechaar outr'ora os estrangeiros,

Jz por terra abatida! A bandeira de gloria
   Que fulgurou ovante ao sol de cem combates
   E sempre ha-de brilhar, aqui, em toda a historia
   Que foi desde o Brazil s regies do Gates.

Hoje roja-se no p! De tudo o que tivemos
   De brio, heroicidade, altivez e coragem
   Nada nos resta j! Parece que viemos
   Perdendo tudo, tudo, em funebre viagem!

A propria honra se foi! Um insulto cruel
   Fez agitar um dia o lodaal enorme,
   Houve gritos de raiva, amarguras de fel
   Mas j tudo passou! E o povo dorme... dorme!

O derradeiro arranco! Ao pobre muribundo
   No resta d'esperana um lampejo fugaz,
   Hoje existe smente a mostrar-nos ao mundo
   Um sepulcro marmoreo, um funebre _aqui jaz_.

Synthetizou outr'ora um esperanoso ideal
   Em honra do cantor das nossas tradices,
   Hoje existe de p por sobre o tremedal
   Um symbolo de morte:
                              O lucto de Cames!


Lisboa, 11-1-91




+A BORDO+


Vamos no alto mar, a noite lentamente
   Encobre pouco a pouco a abobada celeste;
   Ha pallidos clares das bandas do occidente
   E sopra uma rajada aguda de Nordeste.

Corre a todo o vapor, com impeto potente
   O navio rasgando a superficie agreste
   Do gigantesco oceano. As ondas febrilmente
   Tem o tom verde-negro e triste do cypreste.

S vemos ceo e mar, o horizonte enorme,
   Cercados pelo gigante immenso que no dorme
   No monotono circo  plena a solido.

N'essa tremenda lucta o pensamento humano
   Mostra pujantemente, ao dominar o oceano,
   Um cerebro o que vale! o que  um corao!


A bordo do _Funchal_,
1891




+ROZA EM BOTO+

A. E. S.


Que lindo boto de rosa,
   Oh! como  bella esta flr,
   E tens inda mais valor
   Por seres offerta amoroza.

Gentil, risonha e mimoza
   Elvira imitas na cr;
   Ella  pura como a flr
   E tu como ella s formoza.

Mas, apesar da parecena,
   Sempre existe uma differena
   Em que te distingues d'ella;

 que a roza tem espinhos,
   Elvira ternos carinhos,
   Que a tornam inda mais bella.


Angra do Heroismo,
1892




+TEMPESTADE E BONANA+


Soprava rijamente o vento Norte
   E caa um terrivel aguaceiro;
   Enorme escurido, lembrava a morte...
   Mas no descria o rude marinheiro!

Rugia o mar e ao soffrer o corte
   Da pra revoltava-se altaneiro,
   Varria o tombadilho. Sempre forte
   Ia o vapor correndo audaz, ligeiro.

Echoava o trovo. Mas de repente
   Ao vendaval succede-se a bonana,
   O nevoeiro esvae-se lentamente,

A chuva pra, o oceano amansa;
   O sol mostra seu disco reluzente,
   Nos rostos pairam os sorrires d'esp'rana.


Lisboa 1891.




+AS ESTRELLAS+


Da minha alegre janella
   Vejo uma nesga do ceo;
    noite serena, bella,
   Espaireo o olhar meu,

A contemplar as estrellas
   Que scintillam diamantinas,
   Recorda-me sempre ao vel-as
   Tuas graas peregrinas.

Que queres, pois se te no vejo,
   Como outr'ora, na varanda
   Trocando phrazes amantes?

Por isso mando-te um beijo
   Na briza suave, branda,
   Fitando os astros brilhantes.


Lisboa, 1891




+CEMITERIO+


No cemiterio alvejam mausolos
   De pedras rendilhadas e custosas;
   Elegantes, guindados corucheos;
   Epithaphios, legendas caprichosas.

Ali jazem os ricos. Nas pompozas
   Inscripes se vae ler os nomes seus.
   Em outras campas s se vem rozas,
   Goivos, martyrios, contemplando os ceos.

A jazida dos pobres. Trabalhando
   Morreram e ali esto alimentando
   A terra onde essas flres se vo nutrir.

Em quanto os outros distraidos, futeis,
   Viveram ociosos, sempre inuteis,
   E nem sequer d'estrume vo servir!


Lisboa, 1891




+A PROSTITUTA+


A rua  miseravel, suja, estreita,
   Como um terrivel antro criminoso,
   E d'uma porta a prostituta espreita
   O transeunte lubrico, cioso.

 repellente, quanto mais enfeita
   O cabello postio e unctuoso.
   Teve illuses, quem sabe, hoje desfeita,
   A graa d'esse rosto alvar oleoso,

Veio cahir n'aquelle lodaal
   Onde se espoja torpe, embriagada,
   At ir decompor-se no hospital

Se o amante que tem a desgraada
   No lhe der caridoso, bestial,
   O descano pr'a sempre  navalhada.


Lisboa, 1891




+AMOROSO+


Eu amo-te, amo-te tanto
   Talvez no saibas o quanto
   Meu corao fazes pulsar;
   Talvez no saibas,  linda,
   Como a tua graa infinda
   Me faz viver para amar.

Amo-te a face formoza,
   Amo-te a boca de roza,
   Amo-te o negro cabello,
   Amo-te o gesto mavioso,
   O sorrir casto e bondoso,
   O olhar gracioso e bello.

Adoro-te a singelleza
   Que  engaste da belleza,
   Amo-te o lindo rubor
   Com que te purpurizaste,
   Quando tremula escutaste
   As juras do nosso amr.

Encontrei-te, o meu corao
   Satisfez a aspirao
   E tenho um novo viver.
   Acho mais bellos os prados,
   Os tons do sol mais dourados,
   Em tudo o amor julgo vr.

Oh! se o teu amr assim
   Fr to ardente por mim,
   No haver nada igual
    pura felicidade
   Dos dias da mocidade,
   Ao meu risonho ideal.


Angra do Heroismo,
1890




+A CARIDADE+


I

Caridade, quem s! Quem te inventou?
   Para que serves, quaes os meios teus,
   A tua agencia, assim, quem t'a arranjou,
   Para que vens fallar-nos sempre em Deus!

Em Deus! Quando o universo elle creou
   Legou a alguem riquezas ou tropheos!
   Quaes foram os brazes, que bens doou?
   Venderia indulgencias l dos ceos?

Mentes, que nunca fez separaes,
   Nem fez a fome nem as privaes,
   O mundo concedeu  hmanidade.

Mas como  que ha ento ricos e pobres?
   Como  que existem os plebeus e os nobres?
   Que significas pois,  caridade?


II

Rebanhos a pastarem nas campinas,
   As aves a cruzarem-se no ar,
   O serpear das aguas argentinas,
   Os fructos a dourarem no pomar;

A pureza das auras matutinas,
   Os dias que o bom sol nos vem dourar,
   As flores assetinadas, purpurinas,
   As poeticas noites de luar;

Os campos no sorrir da primavera,
   A selva, as fragas onde vive a fera,
   O universo em toda a immensidade,

Nunca foi concedido por herana.
   Era pr'a humanidade a esperana
   De um dia conquistar a felicidade.


III

Os maus, porm, poderam com presteza
   Empolgar o que a todos pertencia.
   O sangue era direito a uns--Nobreza--
   E aos d'hoje o dinheiro--A burguezia--

E foi assim que os bens da natureza,
   Que o creador a todos concedia,
   Se viram disputados com fereza,
   Se viram empolgar com ousadia.

E appareceu a fome. Ento aos pobres
   Os ricos atirando com uns cobres
   Inventaram um Deus de caridade.

Mas haverem luctar, embora custe,
   Depor de todo a Caridade-embuste.
   Hastear a bandeira da Egualdade!


Lisboa, 1892




+AS REVOLUES+

Excerpto


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Um de ns que cahir
   Das entranhas da terra ha-de fazer surgir
   Milhares de vingadores promptos a combater.
   Pela causa da patria a quem custa morrer?
   O sangue vae regar a arvore bemdita
   Da santa liberdade! O fogo que crepita
   Aldeias a queimar, cidades e castellos,
   A forca gemebunda, os gumes dos cutellos,
   As algemas de ferro, as fortes legies,
   A chuva da metralha, a boca dos canhes,
   Sacrificios crueis, o jugo do tyranno,
   Esmagando o direito, o pensamento humano,
   Isso tudo o que vale! Conseguir deter
   O carro do Progresso?. . . . . . . . . . . . .
   . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tu lembras-te de ver
   O mar quando revolto agita o dorso hiruto,
   N'um palpitar gigante, ameaador e brusto
   O que faz ao navio, o mais forte que seja?
   Sabes a vaga enorme que elle altivo dardeja,
   Como destroe as naus mais ricas e possantes,
   As frotas que sepulta numerosas, gigantes,
   Como galga furioso anteparos muralhas.
   Elle joga os rochedos como se fossem palhas,
   E vae cavando sempre e sempre transformado
   A miseria, a ruina, o lodo sepultando?
   Detenham-no vo por-lhe um dique, uma corrente
   Para que no avance, obstaculo potente,
   Elle deve temer os fortes paredes.
   Galga tudo porm!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
   . . . . . . . . . . . . . Assim as revoluces
   Por sobre a sociedade avanam triumphaes
   Entre os hymnos de amor e furias de chacaes,
   Entre rios de sangue e tremedaes de lama
   Hasteando por fim libertadora flamma
   Os povos redimindo!. . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Guerrilheiro--Acto IV--Scena II




+EM VIAGEM+


Noite de lua cheia, pura brisa
   Agita caprichosamente o mar
   Onde o navio rapido desliza,

Dentro da superficie circular
   Formada pelas aguas buliosas
   Que a abobada celeste vem ta upar.

As nuvens, em manadas caprichosas,
   O vapor desafiam na carreira,
   Passando em turbilhes vertiginosas.

Deffendendo o navio, precavida,
   As aguas vae tingir de rubra cr,
   A lanterna vermelha, suspendida,

E faz correr do flanco do vapor
   Um jacto cr de sangue, qual baleia,
   Ferida pela mo do trancador.

A proa corta a vaga que volteia.
   Ha um arfar giganteo, convulsivo,
   D'um immenso corao que bate e anceia.

E d'aquelle organismo, forte, vivo,
   Saem soluos de estridor medonho,
   Saem rugidos d'um toar altivo.

Esse gigante que se ri do oceano
    creao, quasi milagre, sonho,
   D'outro gigante, o pensamento humano!


A bordo do _Funchal_,
1891




+LYRISMO+


Quizera possuir a lyra harmoniosa
   Dos vates geniaes, dos reis da poesia
   De Cames ou do Tasso, o Dante ou Cimaros
   A bella inspirao a doce melodia.

Para te descrever em rima caprichosa
   O meu amor sem fim, ir com a moda queria,
   Dedicar-te um poema e chamar-te formoza
   Tratar-te por _Marilia_ em vez do teu _Maria_.

Mas os versos por mais que faa vo errados,
   No soam nunca bem e fogem  medida,
   E por isso no quero estar com mais cuidados.

Gosto muito de ti, bem o sabes querida.
   Mas no posso imitar os outros namorados
   Piegas que em idilio arrastam toda a vida.


Lisboa, 1890




+MINIATURA+


O ceo puro e sereno,
   O mar auri-fulgente,
   O ar tepido, ameno,
   O campo sorridente,

A rama do arvoredo,
   A frana dos salgueiros,
   A voz do fragoedo,
   Que limpidos ribeiros!

Ao fundo entre a folhagem
   Beijada pela aragem
   Risonha reclinada

Estavas tu, Elvira.
   Eu empunhando a lyra
   Cantei a minha amada.


Angra do Heroismo,
1982




+DESCRENA+


Trabalho. E cada dia que decorre
   Vem trazer-me maior desiluso.
    mais uma esperana que me morre,
    mais um fundo golpe ao corao.

E acreditava, louco, no direito!
   E cria, visionario, na honradez!
   Inda abrigava puras no meu peito
   Illuses que este pantano desfez!

A ganancia, a ambio, a intriga vil,
   Como sapos e rs n'um lodaal,
   Asquerosos, vo tudo macular.

Vence o ladro, o nescio, o imbecil
   Oh! Quem tivesse o rir de Juvenal,
   Um raio pr'a orgia fulminar!


Lisboa, 1892




+LUAR+


Como  linda esta noite de luar!
   Nos raios de fulgor phosphorecente
   Vejo recordaes do teu olhar!

Fico ento a scismar. Mas de repente
   Uma nuvem pesada, vagarosa,
   Lembra-me de que ests saudosamente

Tanto longe de mim! E pesarosa
   Fica minha alma a contemplar o ceo
   Ennamorada, crente e desditoza.

E contudo d'iviso um sorrir teu
   No puro azul d'estrellas scintillante
   Onde vagueia o pensamento meu!

Tudo consola um corao amante.
   A crena de que ests tambem fitando
   O lindo ceo de mundos fulgurante,

O nosso puro amor idealisando,
   Isso me basta ao corao amante,
   E me vae a saudade mitigando!

1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

1.F.

1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project

liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.

law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.


Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.


Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.


Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

     http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
