Travel is the traveller.
What we see isn’t what we see
but what we are.

Epigram
»I love my dreams,« I said, a winter morn,
To the practical man, and he, in scorn,
Replied: »I am no slave of the Ideal,
But, as all men of sense, I love the Real.«
Poor fool, mistaking all that is and seems!
I love the Real when I love my dreams.
Fernando Pessoa (1906)
The poet
O poeta é um fingidor
Finge tão completamente
Que chega a fingir que é dor
A dor que deveras sente
The poet is a faker
Who’s so good at his act
He even fakes the pain
Of pain he feels in fact
Fernando Pessoa
