Do you know how Fernando Pessoa died?
Cirrhosis. And nobody knows that.
He was a hardcore drinker and he never bragged about it unlike that dirty dog Bukowski or that ridiculous bully Hemingway.

"They look at teach other with affection, obviously happy to be reunited after years of separation...Fernando Pessoa said, For the time being it's allowed, I have about eight months in which to wander around as I please. Why eight months, Ricardo Reis asked, and Fernando Pessoa explained, The usual period is nine months, the same length of time we spend in our mother's womb, I believe it's a question of symmetry, before we are born no one can see us yet they think about us every day, after we are dead they cannot see us any longer and every day, after we are dead they cannot see us any longer and every day they go on forgetting us a little more, and apart from exceptional cases it takes nine months to achieve total oblivion, now tell me, what brings you to Portugal." - The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis
