" "Eu quero amar, amar perdidamente!
Amar só por amar: aqui... além...
Mais Este e Aquele, o Outro e toda a gente...
Amar! Amar! E não amar ninguém!

Quem disser que se pode amar alguém
Durante a vida inteira é porque mente!
Florbela Espanca (December 8, 1894 – December 8, 1930) was a Portuguese poet. Her life, of only 36 years, was tumultuous, restless and full of intimate suffering that the author was able to transform into poetry of the highest quality, full of eroticism, femininity and pantheism.

Ponho-me, às vezes, a olhar para o espelho e a examinar-me, feição por feição: os olhos, a boca, o modelado da fronte, a curva das pálpebras, a linha da face... E esta amálgama grosseira e feia, grotesca e miserável, saberia fazer versos? Ah, não! Existe outra coisa... mas o quê? Afinal, para que pensar? Viver é não saber que se vive... Porque me não esqueço eu de viver... para viver?

To be a poet is to be taller, to be bigger
Than men! It is to bite as if you’re kissing!
It is to give alms, although you are a beggar like
King of the Realm where only pain is missing!</p>It is to have a thousand desires for splendor
And do not even know what we want!
It is to have inside yourself a flaming star,
It is to have the condor’s mighty claw and wing! It is to be hungry, to be thirsty of Infinity!
By helmet, golden and satin mornings...
It is to condense the world into one lonely cry! And it is loving you, thus, hopelessly...
And it is you being soul, and blood, and life in me
And tell it singing to everyone!
