坐在你身边看云
当我和你一起穿过田野来到河畔
我看到的河流更美丽；
坐在你身边看云
我看得更清楚。
你不曾把自然从我这里带走，
你不曾改变自然对我的意义，
你使自然离我更近了。
因为你的存在，我看见它更美好，但它是同一个自然，
因为你爱我，我同样爱它，但我更爱它，
因为你选择了我，让我拥有你爱你，
我的眼睛在凝视万物时停留得更久。
我不为以前的我而后悔
因为我还是同一个人。
我只遗憾以前不曾爱你。
把你的手放在我手里
让我们保持安静，被生活环绕。
——佩索阿《拥有你以前》

About the author
Fernando Pessoa
1,257 books6,404 followersFernando António Nogueira Pessoa was a poet and writer.
It is sometimes said that the four greatest Portuguese poets of modern times are Fernando Pessoa. The statement is possible since Pessoa, whose name means ‘person’ in Portuguese, had three alter egos who wrote in styles completely different from his own. In fact Pessoa wrote under dozens of names, but Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis and Álvaro de Campos were – their creator claimed – full-fledged individuals who wrote things that he himself would never or could never write. He dubbed them ‘heteronyms’ rather than pseudonyms, since they were not false names but “other names”, belonging to distinct literary personalities. Not only were their styles different; they thought differently, they had different religious and political views, different aesthetic sensibilities, different social temperaments. And each produced a large body of poetry. Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis also signed dozens of pages of prose.
The critic Harold Bloom referred to him in the book The Western Canon as the most representative poet of the twentieth century, along with Pablo Neruda.
