Alberto Caeiro Quotes

Yes: I Exist Inside My Body.
I'm Not Carrying The Sun And The Moon In My Pocket.
I Don't Want To Conquer Worlds Because I Slept Badly,
And I Don't Want To Eat The World For Breakfast Because I Have A Stomach.
Indifferent?
No: A Son Of The Earth, Who, If He Jumps, It's Wrong,
A Moment In The Air That's Not For Us,
And Only Happy When His Feet Hit The Ground Again,
Pow! In Reality Where Nothing's Missing!

(6/20/1919)
