Eros e Psique

De Fernando Pessoa

Conta a lenda que dormia
Uma Princesa encantada
A quem só despertaria
Um Infante, que viria
De além do muro da estrada.

Ele tinha que, tentado,
Vencer o mal e o bem,
Antes que, já libertado,
Deixasse o caminho errado
Por o que à Princesa vem.

A Princesa Adormecida,
Se espera, dormindo espera,
Sonha em morte a sua vida,
E orna-lhe a fronte esquecida,
Verde, uma grinalda de hera.

Longe o Infante, esforçado,
Sem saber que intuito tem,
Rompe o caminho fadado,
Ele dela é ignorado,
Ela para ele é ninguém.

Mas cada um cumpre o Destino
Ela dormindo encantada,
Ele buscando-a sem tino
Pelo processo divino
Que faz existir a estrada.

E, se bem que seja obscuro
Tudo pela estrada fora,
E falso, ele vem seguro,
E vencendo estrada e muro,
Chega onde em sono ela mora,

E, inda tonto do que houvera,
À cabeça, em maresia,
Ergue a mão, e encontra hera,
E vê que ele mesmo era
A Princesa que dormia.

So proud of my friend!

Today going through my grandmother's old papers with my mother, we found this amazing magazine cut-out from the 80s.

Let the mystery writ upon the jaguars die with me. He who has glimpsed the universe, he who has glimpsed the burning designs of the universe, can have no thought for a man, for a man’s trivial joys or calamities, though he himself be that man. He was that man, who no longer matters to him. What does he care about the fate of that other man, what does he care about the other man’s nation, when now he is no one? That is why I do not speak the formula, that is why, lying in darkness, I allow the days to forget me.

Jorge Luis Borges, The Writing of the God, in The Aleph

Very witty!
