HOMENAGEM A ULYSSES GUIMARÃES

Ardua será a tarefa daquele a quem se incumbir a enumeração das lutas e conquistas do Dr. Ulysses da Silveira Guimarães. Vária é a coleção de feitos relacionados em sua biografia. Qualquer classificação, assim, exigiria uma escolha. Escolha que se torna tanto mais difícil quanto mais se evidencia, com o tempo, o enorme significado de sua vida para a história do País.

A verdade é que Ulysses Guimarães, mercê das qualidades que conformaram sua atuação de homem público, encarnou pessoalmente a maioria dos ideais que empolgaram a nação brasileira, nos últimos 30 anos. Serenidade, sem apatia. Prudência, mas despida de qualquer sombra de fraqueza ou hesitação. Intransigência quanto a princípios. Honestidade. Sinceridade. Coragem, que, entretanto, jamais se confundia com temeridade.

Nele, tais virtudes se tornaram o ponto de referência que impediu o naufrágio, durante a longa e perigosa travessia do autoritarismo, na campanha empolgante pelas eleições "diretas já" e nos trabalhos da Assembléia Nacional Constituinte.

A sua vitória mais importante, entretanto, foi ter estabelecido, para sempre entre nós, o paradigma da verdadeira cidadania. Essa conquista como que resume e arremata todo o esforço de sua vida. Foi a inspiração que iluminou seus passos, o objetivo que norteou suas lutas, o fio comum que encadeia e dá sentido aos episódios de sua carreira.

Ulysses Guimarães está vivo. E assim permanecerá para sempre na memória do povo que amou e da pátria a que se dedicou por inteiro.

HOMAGE TO ULYSSES GUIMARÃES

Arduous work is waiting for those assigned to the task of enumerating all struggles and achievements conquered by Dr. Ulysses da Silveira Guimarães. Diverse is the collection of events included in his biography. Any classification of them would require a selection. A selection that becomes as difficult to make as greater is the meaning of his life in the country's history.

The truth is that Ulysses Guimarães, through his peculiar and distinctive qualities that have determined his performance in public life, has embodied personally most of the ideals that have involved and stirred up the Brazilian nation in the last 30 years. Serenity without apathy. Prudence that could never be confounded with weakness or faltering. Refuse to compromise his principles. Honesty. Sincerity. Courage not temerity, not an unreasonable contempt of danger or opposition.

Such qualities have become the reference point that has prevented the wreckage, during the long and dangerous crossing of authoritarian years, of the elating campaign for the "direct now” and the works of the Constituent National Assembly.

His most significant victory, however, was the establishment of the true citizenship paradigm for the Brazilian people. This accomplishment resumes and completes all his life's efforts. It was the inspiration that has illuminated his actions, the objective that has directed his struggles the common line that has linked and given sense to the facts along his career.

Ulysses Guimarães is alive. And alive he will be forever in the memory of the people he loved and the country to which he has so completely committed himself.
