Fernando Pessoa 130th Birthday

Fernando Pessoa, 1914

June 13, 1888 - November 30, 1935
 
 ♥ to our greatest Poet, com Todo o Amor ♥



❝ O meu coração é um pouco maior que o universo inteiro.

My heart is a little larger than the entire universe. 

from "Saí do comboio" (July 1934), trans. Richard Zenith


❝ O meu passado é tudo quanto não consegui ser.

My past is everything I failed to be.

from The Book of Disquietude, trans. Richard Zenith


❝ Se, depois de eu morrer, quiserem escrever a minha biografia,
Não há nada mais simples.
Tem só duas datas—a da minha nascença e a da minha morte.
Entre uma e outra coisa todos os dias são meus.

If, after I die, they should want to write my biography,
There's nothing simpler.
I've just two dates—of my birth and of my death.
In between the one thing and the other all the days are mine.

Alberto Caeiro (heteronym), "Se, depois de eu morrer"
(November 1915), trans. Jonathan Griffin

Federico García Lorca 120th Birthday

 




















García Lorca in Granada, 1919

June 5, 1898 - August 19, 1936

♥ Con todo mi Amor, With all my Love ♥

Federico was executed by dictator general Franco’s 
death-squads, during Spain’s 1936-39 Civil War.
His body has never been found.


 
❝ Cuando se hundieron las formas puras
bajo el cri cri de las margaritas,
comprendí que me habían asesinado.
Recorrieron los cafés y los cementerios y las iglesias,
abrieron los toneles y los armarios,
destrozaron tres esqueletos para arrancar sus dientes de oro.
Ya no me encontraron.
¿No me encontraron?
No. No me encontraron.
Pero se supo que la sexta luna huyó torrente arriba,
y que el mar recordó ¡de pronto!
los nombres de todos sus ahogados.

When the pure forms sank
under the cri cri of daisies
I realized I had been murdered.
They looked for me in cafes, cemeteries and churches,
they opened the wine casks and wardrobes,
they destroyed three skeletons to pull out their gold teeth.
But they didn't find me.
They never found me?
No. They never found me.
Still it was known that the sixth moon fled up the torrent,
and the sea could remember, suddenly,
the names of all its drowned.

from Fábula y rueda de tres amigos
(The Fable and round of the three friends),
Poet in New York, 1929


❝ Las heridas quemaban como soles
a las cinco de la tarde,
y el gentío rompía las ventanas
a las cinco de la tarde.
A las cinco de la tarde.
¡Ay qué terribles cinco de la tarde!
¡Eran las cinco en todos los relojes!
¡Eran las cinco en sombra de la tarde!

The wounds were burning like suns
at five in the afternoon,
and the crowd broke the windows
At five in the afternoon.
Ah, that fatal five in the afternoon!
It was five by all the clocks!
It was five in the shade of the afternoon!

from Llanto por Ignacio Sanchez Mejias, 1935
