Beers & Books XCII – Fernando Pessoa

The Book of Disquiet
*
"Literature exists because the world isn't enough."

 

Fernando Pessoa (13. Juni 1888 – 30. November 1935)

I was there

Trees and shadows are still real, Fernando.

Irreal shadows, unreal trees [?]

Nature is where we not are.
There, only there exist the real shadows and real trees.
Fernando Pessoa – The Book of  Unrest, 375
