Fernando Pessoa, drinking a glass of wine in a Lisbon tavern. 1928.
He died 80 years ago today.

One of the greatest! Nobody has captured our subjective daily experience as accurately as Pessoa. This is what it is like to live as a human on this earth - this is us. Because he wrote so honestly of his own subjective experience, he is now universal. Funny how that works!

reading him feels like he's reading my thoughts to me at times. Much more clearly and eloquently of course. What a wonderful writer!
