Ruy Guerra

GdM: I will look at the short stories later. MdSA: Fanciful poetry; these I can imagine as being performed. So Sad. Depression and a life thrown away too early.

Stephen Fry... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry

SF-Multiple talents! This guy has been looking for him:

Fernando Pessoa (my favorite Portuguese poet)

"Autopsychography"

(Poets feign and conceal
So completely feign and pretend
That the pain which they really feel
They'll feign for you in the end

And he who reads what they've done
Never senses the twofold pain
That's in them, only the one
Which they never feel but feign

And so, to amuse our minds
Round again to the start
On its circular railway winds
That toy train called the heart.)

—Michael Hamburger

"Autopsychography"

The poet is a born pretender
So well does he pretend
That he affects to feel
The pain he feels in the end

And those that read his writings
Never feel his twofold pain
But just the one
That´s not in them

And so turning his wheels
Entertaining reason with art
Girates this mechanism
That we call the heart.
(My attempt, after reading the other ones)

SF: I found a terrible translation of the poem, but I think I get the gist: Where to walk Stephen Fry where you'll walk/Stephen Nobody knows of his whereabouts/nobody knows where he was to where he may be/feeling all alone/ Stephen never do this again/come back home/ if you run the bug takes Stephen/if you stay the beast eats. FP: Very complex: "... horoscope charts Pessoa devised for his three most important heteronyms" - intriguing. Enjoyed the following poem:

Quote:

The Herdsman
BY ALBERTO CAEIRO (FERNANDO PESSOA)
TRANSLATED BY EDOUARD RODITI

I'm herdsman of a flock.
The sheep are my thoughts
And my thoughts are all sensations.
I think with my eyes and my ears
And my hands and feet
And nostrils and mouth.

To think a flower is to see and smell it.
To eat a fruit is to sense its savor.

And that is why, when I feel sad,
In a day of heat, because of so much joy
And lay me down in the grass to rest
And close my sun-warmed eyes,
I feel my whole body relaxed in reality
And know the whole truth and am happy.

SF-The text of the song is not good (but the translation makes it worse) that´s why I didn´t provide the translation. I only found it remarcable that someone made a song called "Looking for Stephen Fry" Note: "if you run the bug takes Stephen/if you stay the beast eats" (for Heaven´s sake!). When someone is in a fix we say: if you run the beast gets you/if you stay the beast devours you!"
FP-Among other things FP worked at an astrologer. I saw his char made by himself. He himself was gemini (multiple identities heteronyms among other things), ascendent in Skorpio (interest in religion and occultism)
PA-Beautiful Poems. Maybe a Portuguese descendence (surname and looks).

SF: lol re: translation. AdQ: His poem reflects his faith to a "t"; too sad. One of my sisters resigned to her fate in a similar manner about 10-years ago; reading of AdQ's demise brings back the pain. On a lighter note I may check out his sonnets; the sonnet is a form I've tried with limited success, and yet some poets can create them with no trouble at all.

Quentin Blake... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Blake

AdQ:Sorry, I didn´t want to evoque painful memories.AdQ is aleading Portuguese poet, but some of these poets are very anguished.
QB-Loved his cartoons. Time to get back to humour.

Tks for fixing the link. ML-Very modern and difficulty to conciliate art and life. Female names very often remain in the background of the movemenst (but not of our antology).
