Poetry can take many forms, from traditional structured verse to more contemporary and experimental styles.
It is a diverse and evolving art form that has been an integral part of human expression for centuries, serving as a means to capture the human experience, explore complex ideas, and communicate emotions in a unique and powerful way.
Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (Portuguese: 13 June 1888–30 November 1935) was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher, and philosopher.
He is described as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language.
He also wrote in and translated from English and French.
“Se eu te pudesse dizer
O que nunca te direi,
Tu terias que entender
Aquilo que nem eu sei.”
_ Fernando Pessoa.
If I could tell you
What I will never tell you,
You would have to understand
Something I don’t even know.”
_ Fernando Pessoa.
