  1. “Para ser grande, sé entero: nada
    Tuyo exageres o excluyas.
    Sé todo en cada cosa. Pon cuanto eres
    En lo mínimo que hagas,
    Por eso la luna brilla toda
    En cada lago, porque alta vive.”

  2. Hilfe bei einer Übersetzung von #portugiesisch nach deutsch gesucht!

    Vor langer Zeit hab ich mal einen Satz aus einem Gedicht von Ricardo Reis aka Fernando #Pessoa gelesen, jetzt hab ich endlich das komplette Gedicht auf portugiesisch gefunden. Meine rudimentären Kenntnisse reichen leider nicht aus, um zu erkennen, ob DeepL es richtig übersetzt. Ob ich hier wohl Muttersprachler:innen finde, die mir helfen können? Das wäre sooo toll!
    Ich schreib das Gedicht im nächsten Post.

  3. Negli ultimi giorni ho scritto un post lunghissimo, interessante (credo) e pallosissimo (immagino) sulla creatività, sulla finzione, su Pessoa e sui chatbot basati sulla cosiddetta intelligenza artificiale generativa.

    Vi consiglio di leggere almeno la prima parte e spulciare il resto.

  8. > “Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face--there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes.
    > Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself.
    > The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.”

    03.11.2007: der Abend, an dem ich im berühmten "Café a Brasileira" in der Rua Garett 122 in Lissabon zusammen mit Fernando Pessoa, Portugals wohl berühmtestem Dichter und Schriftsteller, eine bica trank.

    Das Foto ist total schlecht, aber auch diesen Abend werde ich nie vergessen.

  10. Fernando #Pessoa: “Im heutigen Leben gehört die Welt einzig den Dummen, den Selbstgefälligen und den Umtriebigen. Das Recht, zu leben und zu triumphieren, erwirbt man heute mehr oder weniger mit den gleichen Mitteln, mit denen man die Einweisung in ein Irrenhaus erreicht: die Unfähigkeit zu denken, die Unmoral und die Überregtheit.‘‘

  11. «A obra principal do fascismo é o aperfeiçoamento e organização do sistema ferroviário. Os comboios agora andam bem e chegam sempre à tabela. Por exemplo, você vive em Milão; seu pai vive em Roma. Os fascistas matam seu pai, mas você tem a certeza que, metendo-se no comboio, chega a tempo para o enterro». Fernando Pessoa, ca. 1924.

  12. "Tedium...I work hard. I fulfill what the moralists of action would say is my social duty. I fulfill that duty, or fate, without too much effort and without gross incompetence. But sometimes right in the middle of my work, or in the middle of the rest which, according to the same moralists, I deserve and ought to enjoy, my soul overflows with a bitter inertia, and I'm tired, not of working or resting, but of me."(#263)

    "The love of absurdity and paradox is the animal happiness of the sad. Just as the normal man talks nonsense and slaps others on the back out of zest and vitality, so those incapable of joy and enthusiasm do somersaults in their minds and perform, in their own cold way, the warm gestures of life." (#296)

  13. I finished reading Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet today. It took me too long to get through it. I am disappointed. I like "overly wordy" writing, but this seriously needed an editor: it is far too repetitive and unfocused to be a good read (I know why it is like this, but still...).

    Some good bits: "I have a tender spot - tender to the point of tears - for my ledgers in which I keep other people's accounts, for the old inkstand I use, for the hunched back of Sergio, who draws up invoices a little beyond where I sit. I love all this, perhaps because I have nothing else to love, and perhaps also because nothing is worth a human soul's love, and so it's all the same - should we feel the urge to give it - whether the recipient be the diminutive form of my inkstand or the vast indifference of the stars." (#7)

    "Let's buy books as as not to read them; let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there; let's take long walks because we're sick of walking; and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us." (#23)

    "To live strikes me as a metaphysical mistake of matter, a dereliction of inaction. I refuse to look at the day to find out what it can offer that might distract me and that, being recorded here in writing, might cover up the empty cup of my not wanting myself. I refuse to look at the day, and with my shoulders hunched forward I ignore whether the sun is present or absent outside in the subjectively sad street, in the deserted street where the sound of people passes by. I ignore everything, and my chest hurts." (#99)

  14. Today's Fernando Pessoa (trans. Richard Zenith):

    from the Keeper of Sheep

    #9

    I'm a keeper of sheep
    The sheep are my thoughts
    And each thought a sensation.
    I think with my eyes and my ears
    And with my hands and feet
    And with my nose and mouth

    To think of a flower is to see and smell it
    And to eat a fruit is to know its meaning

    That is why on a hot day
    When I enjoy it so much I feel sad,
    And I lie down in the grass
    And close my warm eyes,
    Then I feel my whole body lying down in reality,
    I know the truth, and I'm happy.

  15. Just picked up a copy of Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet from a free book box while on a walk. Anyone have an opinion about it they'd like to share? #books #pessoa #theBookOfDisquiet

  16. New blog post on Psychology Today!

    I'm finally reading Pessoa's The Cognitive-Emotional Brain, and I wrote a brief essay on it. I'm staying pretty high level, even though the book is pretty detailed and technical.

    I hope to write a few posts on general thoughts as I read through it. I wish I'd gotten to it in grad school, because there's a lot of thoughtful analysis there!

  17. Por esas extrañas asociaciones que a veces me hace la cabeza, mientras escuchaba a María do Ceo cantando un bello fado me acordé de esta frase del gran Fernando Pessoa.

    "El binomio de Newton es tan bello como la Venus de Milo. Lo que hay es poca gente que se dé cuenta de ello".

    ¿Tú te das cuenta de ello?

  18. #ShabbosReads Started with a huge project: Reading Zenith's biography on Fernando Pessoa. Pessoa is very close to my heart (and always on my night shelf) and the reason why I went to Lisbon to study Portuguese. Zenith so far masterfully recreates Pessoa's biography while showing how the different persons in Pessoa's oeuvre are an expression of his rich inner life thereby drawing the reader deep into his imagination.

  23. It is either Fernando #Pessoa’s birthday or I’m being led into a spy trap.

  25. Electronic Book Review have just published Manuel Portela's Writing as a Life Form: A Review of Richard Zenith’s Pessoa: A Biography (2021).

    Extract: 'For Fernando Pessoa, as for the roughly 600 texts that make up his Book of Disquiet, and the estimated 136 homonyms that Pessoa inhabits in his own writing, there "is life, and there is writing, and they must remain immiscible." ...

    What is it like to live non-narratively?... Not necessarily through the chaotic dissolution of a unified consciousness, but through a surplus of subjectivity, by a relentless multiplication of possibilities.'
