Quote #11
Here lies, in the small extreme beach, the Captain Of The End.
More from Fernando Pessoa
- The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: / the endless sea is portuguese.
- Oh salty sea, how much of your salt / is tears from Portugal
- The sea is fulfilled, and the Empire undid itself. / Lord, Portugal remains to be accomplished!
- Everything is worthwhile / if the soul isn't small.
- God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
- Who wants to go beyond the Bojador / Must go beyond pain.
- Without madness what is man / more than the healthy beast, / corpse adjourned that procreates?
- God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, / but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.
