Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

حتى أنا الحالم دوما، تأتينى بعض اللحظات التى يهرب الحلم منى فيها؛ حينئذ تبدو الأشياء واضحة بالنسبة إلى، فينزاح ضباب ما يحيط بى. وكل النتوءات المرئية تجرح بحدة جلد روحى. كل القساوات المرئية تؤذى ما بداخلى من قساوات.
كل أعباء وضغوط الأشياء المرئية تثقل على من داخل الروح.
حياتى هى جَلَدى الدائم بحياتى نفسها.

Everything, except boredom, bores me. I'd like, without being calm, to calm down,
To take life every day
Like a medicine — One of those medicines everybody takes.

I aspired to so much, dreamed so much, That so much so much made me into nothing.
My hands grew cold
From just waiting for the enchantment
Of the love that would warm them up at last.

Cold, empty
Hands.
