| Description: | Select Guide Rating Contains poems that features four separate personae who have their own poetic identity. This title contribute to the 'mysterious importance of existence'. The writing of Fernando Pessoa reveals a mind shaken by intense inner suffering. In these poems he adopted four separate personae: Alberto Caeiro, Alvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis and himself, using them to express ''great swarms of thought and feeling''. While each personae has its own poetic identity, together they convey a sense of ambivalence and consolidate a striving for completeness. Dramatic, lyrical, Christian, pagan, old and modern, Pessoa''s poets and poetry contribute to the ''mysterious importance of existence''. |
