The letters from the ink in my pen are an absurd map of magic signs.
Fernando PessoaAh, what a morning this is, awakening me to life's stupidity. [98 - Zenith trans.]
Fernando PessoaIf only, I feel now, if only I could be someone able to see all this as if he had no other relation with it than that of seeing it, someone able to observe everything as if he were an adult traveler newly arrived today on the surface of life! If only one had not learned, from birth onwards, to give certain accepted meanings to everything, but instead was able to see the meaning inherent in each thing rather than that imposed on it from without. If only one could know the human reality of the woman selling fish and go beyond just labeling her a fishwife and the known fact that she exists and sells fish. If only one could see the policeman as God sees him. If only one could notice everything for the first time, not apocalyptically, as if they were revelations of the Mystery, but directly as the flowerings of Reality.
Fernando Pessoaكم هُوَ غامضٌ ....كلُّ الذي رأيتُهُ أوْ قرأتُهُ! العالمُ كتابٌ مفتوحٌ هائلٌ
يسخرُ منّي بلسانٍ مجهولٍ
من نفس المكان
يضجر الناس
وأنا من وجودي في ذاتي
أليس خليقاً بيِ ان أضجر؟
روحي تبحث عني..
في الجبال والسهول..
ليتها لا تعثر ابداً عليِّ
هارباً من ذاتي أحيا.
وأنا بذلك حيّ.
- فرناندو بيسوا
Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face – there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.
Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself.
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.

Cultivo o ódio à acção como uma flor de estufa. Gabo-me para comigo da minha dissidência da vida.

They spoke to me of people, and of humanity.
But I've never seen people, or humanity.
I've seen various people, astonishingly dissimilar,
Each separated from the next by an unpeopled space.

I placidly wait for what I don't know-
My future and the future of everything.
In the end there will only be silence except
Where the waves of the sea bathe nothing.

Não aspiro a nada. Dói-me a vida. Estou mal onde estou e já mal onde penso em poder estar.
