He sleeps inside my soul and sometimes wakes up in the night And plays with my dreams.

Selected poems: A little larger than the entire universe / Fernando Pessoa
[ID: Old and enormous are the stars. Old and small is the heart, and it Holds more than all the stars, being, Without space, greater than the vast expanse.]

“Be glad to be who you cannot resist
Being. You will still have the vast
Sky to cover you, and the earth.
Green or dry, given the season.
— Fernando Pessoa, “A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe”

Only Nature is divine, and she is not divine…
If I sometimes speak of her as a person
It's because I can only speak of her by using the language of men, Which imposes names on things And gives them personality.
But things have no name or personality: They just are, and the sky is vast, the earth wide, And our heart the size of a closed fist…
Blessed am I for all I don't know.
That's all I truly am…
I enjoy it all as one who knows that the sun exists.
