“Ó Nemésio” – George Monteiro

"Ó Nemésio" - George Monteiro
(Charles Conder 1868-1909)

“Ó Nemésio”

Of course there’s always more in a
name than the Bard of Avon would

have you know when he sets up his
argument by singling out the rose.

That brings to mind that it’s Nemésio’s
name that’s called out, as it so often

happens, when it’s really Onésimo who
is standing there, the more familiar of

the two names being hard-wired into
the brain of this someone in the know.

“No matter, same difference” is how this
particular mix-up, this trapalhada, would

have been brushed away in the snappy,
know-it-all way of my confident youth.

History, though, is a different kettle of
fish, for it will sort out the two names,

distinguish between them carefully, and
then sit back and listen to the serão à deux.
