My pride was stoned by blind men, my disillusion trampled on by beggars.

#TheBookofDisquiet
#FernandoPessoa
I want to be a work of art, at least in my soul…That's why I've sculpted myself in quiet isolation and have placed myself in a hothouse, cut off from fresh air and direct light- where the absurd flower of my artificiality can blossom in secluded beauty.

The dreamer is an issuer of banknotes,and the notes he issues circulate in the city of his mind…like real notes in the world outside. Why should I care if the currency of my soul will never be convertible to gold, when there is no gold in life's factitious alchemy?

I have to choose what I detest- either dreaming, which my intelligence hates, or action, which my sensibility loathes; either action, for which I wasn't born, or dreaming, for which no one was born.
Detesting both, I choose neither….

II LITANY We never know self-realization. We are two abysses - a well staring at the sky.

...I’m like a slave who gets drunk during his rest hour - two miseries inhabiting one body.”

Musings and all out fictionalization of the self. More dream than awake. Not for those seeking a straight forward story. Beautiful poetic prose.

I just shared an essay on Pessoa as a potential (unconscious) pioneer of social media posting:

A picture of the penguin modern classics print of Fernando Pessoa’s The book of disquiet.
I started reading this book last night. I don’t think my progress can be mapped in pages read; it has already become very precious to me.
An old book, newly found,
Of disjoint voices, sound;
It trickles, runs, and stops,
I - with it - dreamily hops.
