I look for myself but find no one. I belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul. - Fernando Pessoa

أنا أرثي حال النجوم
التي تشع منذ هذا القدر الكبير من السنين
هذا القدر من السنين ...
أنا أرثي حال النجوم.
أليس هناك أيّ تعب
في الأشياء،
في جميع الأشياء ،
مثل تعب السيقان والمناكب ؟
التعب من الكينونة،
من الوجود،
من الوجود لا غير،
الالتماع المرح أو الكئيب ...
ألا يكون الانتظار في النهاية
لكل وجود
وليس الموت، بل شيء آخر
كما لو أنه نهاية أخرى ؟
أو تبرير عظيم،
شيء شبيه
بالغفران ؟
