Fernando Pessoa – “Thou knewst not lust with idle fame…”

[BNP/E3, 49A1 – 40]

 

Thou knewst not lust with idle fame

† and corrupted, rack’d and torn 

Nor {…} shame

Nor know’st thou not[1] the pain of seeing the day

Which doth rain[2] and darkness take its way

Fall’n from the golden promise of the morn.
