E.E. Cummings, from “long ago,”; Collected Poems: 1904-1962 (via megairea)

The book also has several testimonies that, over the years, various personalities of Portuguese public life have given about Martinho da Arcada, such as Agostinho da Silva, Álvaro Siza Vieira, Amália Rodrigues, Carlos do Carmo, Mário de Sá Carneiro and Fernando Pessoa, but also his heteronym Bernardo Soares.

Among the illustrious personalities, whether from the political, intellectual and artistic circles, who passed through the tables of Martinho da Arcada, many left written “memorable passages” in the cafe’s honor book.

and the narrow lanes to reach them,

our clandestine world

since she has become smoke?

someone less than myself
