Fernando Pessoa – “Today I took some consciousness…”

[BNP/E3, 49A2 – 81]

 

2/3/08

_______

Today I took some consciousness

     Of my gestures unwilled 

And I felt the automaton in me

     With a terror strange and mute[1]

     To pass into agony.

__________

How much we are that we are not

     This was my black pregnant thought.

 


 
[1] mute /willed\
