Em inglês também não vai mal:
"From my village I see as much of the universe as you can see from earth,
So my village is as big as any other land
For I am the size of what I see,
Not the size of my height."— #FernandoPessoa as #AlbertoCaeiro, *The Keeper of Sheep*

Em espanhol tem um não sei quê:
"Desde mi aldea veo tanto universo como puede verse desde la tierra…
Por eso mi aldea es tan grande como cualquier otra tierra,
porque yo soy del tamaño de lo que veo,
y no del tamaño de mi estatura."#FernandoPessoa como #AlbertoCaeiro,
El guardador de rebaños -
I adore this poem by Alberto Caeiro, it does this very fascinating language "trick".
The world "beautiful" shows up twice, but through the use of "but" each "beautiful" acquires a different meaning and essentially becomes two different separate words.
Beautiful as grandiose, well known and inspiring. Beautiful as particular, close, meaningless.
I just love this concept of opposing the "same" thing, making them different and creating new meanings and interpretations from that.
I basically stole the idea for the poem I did for the 3rd issue of @t_the_zine and I'm for sure gonna use it for other things I write, it's just such a fascinating magical thing for me!
