Not any, if we are not careful we are going to conclude the great ambition is disapearing in a big bang of poliphony...
Yeah, I think Pessoa is a major poet, the great of XX and of Portuguese language. Good point for this argument, since the other Major portuguese Poet is Camões, which greatest work is one of the last true epic poems... Pessoa sensiblity and ambition lead him to a serie of small poems, to surpass Walt Whitman and even Homer (one of his personalities is adept to pastoral poetry) and some lesser know portuguese poets. (There is more, I see not how to say he knew Dickinson, but there is some similarity between both, he knew and admired Poe, Shelley, Keats, Byron, Shakespeare, Milton and much more) but he did not in the form of Epic. But how this difference is relevant and not the result...
