Alberto Caeiro quotes:

All the evil in the world comes from us bothering with each other,Wanting to do good, wanting to do evil.Our soul and the sky and the earth are enough for us.To want more is to lose this, and be unhappy.

What comes, when it comes, will be what it is.

On a whitely cloudy day I get sad, almost afraid,And I begin to meditate about problems I make up.

The man stopped talking and was looking at the sunset.But what does someone who hates and loves want with a sunset?

I'm one of my sensations.

I pass and I stay, like the Universe.

Other times when I hear the wind blowI feel that just hearing the wind blow makes it worth being born.

I love flowers for being flowers, directly.And I love trees for being trees without my thought.

The man stopped talking and was looking at the sunset.But what does someone who hates and loves want with a sunset~?

And he feels hurt when he hears about wars,And commerce, and the ships leavingTheir smoke on the high seas.Because he knows all of this lacks the truthA flower has in its bloomingAnd which moves with the sunlightChanging the hills and valleys

But if God is the flowers and the treesAnd the hills and the sun and the moonlight,Then I believe in him,Then I believe in him all the time,And my whole life is an oration and a mass,And a communion with my eyes and through my ears.
