I LOOK FOR MYSELF BUT FIND NO ONE

photograph by my wife Maria da Nazaré, at the London Eye
.......................................................................................................

"I look for myself but find no one. I belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul.

I do not know which particular magnificent details I would choose to define the essence of my spirit. Doubtless I love the decorative because I sense in it something that resembles the substance of my own soul."

by Fernando PESSOA, in "The Book of Disquiet"

Dentro de mim não há ninguém à beira do rio que me percorre.
Sou poeta das ausências dos desejos e das fraquezas.
Sou lume e enxofre das palavras mortas que vou parindo em poemas que ninguém lê.
Sou a exacta distância entre a impotência de Deus e as vozes perdidas.
Sou sacrário das mentes vazias e senhor dos rios que se suicidam no mar.

...o Adão Cruz podia muito bem ser mais um heterónimo do F..P., Isabel...
