Quote #9
The sea is fulfilled, and the Empire undid itself. / Lord, Portugal remains to be accomplished!
More from Fernando Pessoa
- God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
- The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: / the endless sea is portuguese.
- Without madness what is man / more than the healthy beast, / corpse adjourned that procreates?
- Here lies, in the small extreme beach, the Captain Of The End.
- Faithful to the word given and the idea had. / All else is up to God!
- Oh salty sea, how much of your salt / is tears from Portugal
- Clear in thinking, and clear in feeling, / and clear in wanting
- Everything is worthwhile / if the soul isn't small.
