My favorite Poet...

My fovorite poet, You probably never heard about him... his work is something unique ...one of his poems i like is this one

"To be great, be entire:
Of what is yours nothing
Exaggerate or exclude
Be whole in each thing, Put all that you are
Into the least you do
Like that on each ;lace the whole moon
Shines for she lives aloft.

Fernando Pessoa"

Hope the translation is not too bad Embarassed

If Your interested in read a bit from him...there is many sites and this is one of them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Pessoa

Lady,

Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa…wonderful writer and poet. Smile

I love his poetry.

To me that is an acceptable translation...but my Portuguese is very minimal.

One of my favorite poems of his is...

"At times I have happy ideas,
Ideas suddenly happy, in among ideas
And the words in which they naturally shake free ...

After writing, I read...
What made me write that?
Where have I been to find that?
Where did that come to me from? It is better than
me...
Shall we have been, in the world, at the most, pen
and ink
With which somebody writes properly what we here
jot?..."

(At times I have by Fernando Pessoa)
