Quotes[edit]
O Nome das Coisas (1977)[edit]
- Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emergimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo- This is the dawn I waited for
The new day clean and whole
When we emerge from night and silence
To freely inhabit the substance of time - "25 de Abril" ("25th April 1974"), in Log Book: Selected Poems, trans. Richard Zenith (Carcanet, 1997), p. 78
- This is the dawn I waited for
