Conquistense Poetry 02: Café Vidigal
Notes scribbled in a rush:
"Mestra cafeeira, e exemplar artista. Café como nunca antes visto. Café sob holofote de herói, de Ulysses; peça indelével dos esquemas teatrais da vida. Figurando no alto e no baixo, nas mãos macias da minoria rica, e nas costas tortas da minoria pobre. Sustento, de duas formas: o elixir de energia do indivíduo, para fazer correr seu dia, e a absoluta renda familiar da 'outdated maison feudal' do sertão. Da gente pobre pra gente rica e, assim, a correr por entre todos os cantos do estado e, ou, quiçá do mundo. Representação pura e natural, tratada com delicadeza e maestria por quem está mais apto a tal, quem mais entende de café, Valéria Vidigal."
[translation]:"Coffee master and exemplary artist. Coffee as never seen before. Coffee under the spotlight of hero, of Odysseus; indelible element in life's theatrical plays. Figuring in the ups and downs, in the hands of a rich minority, and the curvy back of a meager majority. Sustenance, in two forms: the energy elixir of an individual, to get through their day, and the absolute income of families living under a feud. From the poor to the rich and, as so, running through all the streets and corners, around the whole world. Pure and natural representation, made with mastery and gentleness by the most suitable individual, the one who understands most about coffee, Valéria Vidigal."
