Fernando Pessoa

Hay personas que se encuentran en canciones, en libros, en poemas, en memorias. Hay que personas que no necesitan nada de eso. Sencillamente no lo piensan. Fernando Pessoa era asi.
Él es mi poeta preferido, es portugués pero gracias a una serie de circunstancias que le sucedieron ha escrito toda su vida en inglés.
Siempre que me pierdo, se que si le busco, en sus poemas encontraré algo que no solo me haga pensar sino que también me haga sentirme bien, mejor.

Este autor escribía por heterónimos, (cuando un autor escribe mediante un personaje que el mismo ha creado) este se llama Ricardo Reis y era un pastor.

II:

When I look, I see clear as a sunflower.
I’m always walking the roads
Looking right and left,
And sometimes looking behind...
And what I see every second
Is something I’ve never seen before,
And I know how to do this very well...
I know how to have the essential astonishment
That a child would have if it could really see
It was being born when it was being born...
I feel myself being born in each moment,
In the eternal newness of the world...

I believe in the world like I believe in a marigold,
Because I see it. But I don’t think about it
Because to think is to not understand...
The world wasn’t made for us to think about
(To think is to be sick in the eyes)
But for us to see and agree with...

I don’t have a philosophy: I have senses...
If I talk about Nature, it’s not because I know what it is,
But because I love it, and that’s why I love it,
Because when you love you never know what you love,
Or why you love, or what love is...

Loving is eternal innocence,
And the only innocence is not thinking...

Esta canción es de una cantante que no me gusta mucho (Lana del rey), pero esta cover me gusta mucho, es preciosa.
