I Carry the Universe with Me: the Poems of Pessoa
by I
About This Novel
As a Portuguese national treasure poet and "the core figure of European modernism", Pessoa created a rich and mysterious universe with his charming "heteronym writing". He created many synonyms in his life, each with different professions and personalities, among which Alberto Caeiro was the most important. Caeiro is a "nature poet" and "objective poet", respected as a master by other people with different names. He spent most of his life on the farm. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He is an orphan and has only completed primary school education. This book contains all the poems written by Caeiro, including three parts: "The Shepherd", "The Shepherd in Love" and "The Shepherd's Continuation". Caeiro hopes to write poetry without any philosophical thoughts, as long as he sees all things truly, emphasizing grasping nature with feelings, and opposing ideological understanding: "I look, things exist. I think, only I exist."
