a poem by Fernando Pessoa

To be great, be whole: don't exaggerate
Or leave out any part of you.
Be complete in each thing. Put all you are
Into the least of your acts.
So too in each lake, with it's lofty life,
The whole moon shines.

14 February 1933. Translated from the Portuguese by Richard Zenith

Заманчивая идея, как скоро ожидается публикации свежего материала и вообщем стоит ждать ?

I invite you to visit two artists' books in tribute to Fernando Pessoa:

In this link you will see a series of collages that I made and titled "Against Pessoa"

I hope you like them.
