Quote #12
Oh salty sea, how much of your salt / is tears from Portugal
More from Fernando Pessoa
- Here lies, in the small extreme beach, the Captain Of The End.
- Everything is worthwhile / if the soul isn't small.
- The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: / the endless sea is portuguese.
- Who wants to go beyond the Bojador / Must go beyond pain.
- The sea is fulfilled, and the Empire undid itself. / Lord, Portugal remains to be accomplished!
- God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, / but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.
- God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
- These are Fortunate Islands, / These are lands without a place
