Text III

 

Teaching a child to read


Imagery first: the colors primary

Familiar as the sun; the purpose sure –

To hear, to smell, to feel, to taste, to see.

The mind will enter by another door.

 

The verb is next: we are the rain that falls,

The frog that sees a cricket as it leaps,

The robin that flaps its wings and calls,

The fish that swims, the animal that creeps.


The third is narrative, the moving spell

Of syntax that ad-libs the myths of time.

Alas, we learn before the wishing well

Has dried how words become a hill to climb.


The fourth is symbol: goodness, beauty, love.

This is the time of quarrel, tears and pain.

Sowing the dragons’ teeth, we bob and weave

Until we bring the simple back again.

Comentário do professor

Função: a conjunção as estabelece simultaneidade entre duas ações: indica que algo aconteceu ao mesmo tempo que outra coisa ocorria.

The class started as the sun was setting.
Em análise, the class started é a ação que se inicia; the sun was setting é a ação contínua em curso. A conjunção as liga as duas orações mostrando que os eventos ocorreram simultaneamente.

Em português, as aqui equivale a enquanto ou at the same time as. Substituições possíveis: The class started while the sun was setting, mantendo o mesmo sentido.

Observação prática: costuma aparecer com o past continuous na oração dependente para marcar uma ação em progresso quando outra começou.
