Fernando Pessoa
Out of a great nebula of Night and Storm
Out of a great nebula of Night and Storm
Borne upon a great void within our Space,
My soul was formed and stares God in the face
Out of that silence where there is no Form.
The empty carcase of Place
The silent ecstasy of Hours,
Life, like abandoned flowers,
Thought, like a forlorn grace.
5-5-1915
