woha, there i go ranting on Magnum but then this comes up like a big punch in the face. was just reading something about Pessoa's heteronym "Alberto Caeiro". here it goes, to Bruce: "He sees things with the eyes only, not with the mind. He does not let any thoughts arise when he looks at a flower... the only thing a stone tells him is that it has nothing at all to tell him... this way of looking at a stone may be described as the totally unpoetic way of looking at it. The stupendous fact about Caeiro is that out of this sentiment, or rather, absence of sentiment, he makes poetry." (Pessoa talking about Caeiro)
