A Tribute to Fernando Pessoa - english poems by F. Pessoa and Hetronyms: "XXXII. 35 SONNETS
When I have sense of what to sense appears,
Sense is sense ere 'tis mine in me is.
When I hear, Hearing, ere I do hear, hears.
When I see, before me abstract Seeing sees.
I am part soul part I in all I touch -
Soul by that part I hold in day with all,
And I unsunned that doth make sense such
As I can err by it and my sense mine call.
The rest is wondering what these thoughts may mean,
Like messengers that mock the message' mien,
Explaining all but the explanation:
As if a chipered letter's hit
And find it in an unknown language writ.
in «English Poetry (I)», by Fernando Pessoa, Ed. Assírio & Alvim"
