dinneR ★ Posted February 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2019 The Herdsman BY FERNANDO PESSOA TRANSLATED BY EDOUARD RODITI I'm herdsman of a flock. The sheep are my thoughts And my thoughts are all sensations. I think with my eyes and my ears And my hands and feet And nostrils and mouth. To think a flower is to see and smell it. To eat a fruit is to sense its savor. And that is why, when I feel sad, In a day of heat, because of so much joy And lay me down in the grass to rest And close my sun-warmed eyes, I feel my whole body relaxed in reality And know the whole truth and am happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
