Let's be simple and calm,
Like brooks and trees,
And God will love us by making
Beautiful things like the trees and brooks for us,
And give us greenness in his spring,
And a river for us to go to when we end... — Alberto Caeiro

He wrote as if he were the reader. It was also how he kept his writing from becoming too cute, which is to say, about him not the subject.
