    Fernando Pessoa

    Fernando Pessoa, one of the founders of modernism, was born in Lisbon in 1888. He grew up in Durban, South Africa, where his stepfather was Portuguese consul. He returned to Lisbon in 1905 and worked as a clerk in an import-export company until his death in 1935. Most of Pessoa's writing was not published during his lifetime; The Book of Disquiet first came out in Portugal in 1982. Since its first publication, it has been hailed as a classic.

      Table of Contents

      Whether we write or speak or do but look

      We are ever unapparent. What we are

      Cannot be transfused into word or book.

      Our soul from us is infinitely far.

      However much we give our thoughts the will

      To be our soul and gesture it abroad,

      Our hearts are incommunicable still.

      In what we show ourselves we are ignored.

      The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged

      By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.

      Unto our very selves we are abridged

      When we would utter to our thought our being.

      We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,

      And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
