Not everything in life is depression, being an incel, and hiding in retarded noms de plume, neither. I bet he would have changed his being known by some people and loved by faggots for a normal life with a loving woman any day of the week.

i had this before my madness began, and while it was really nice, it was not as interesting as the interesting bits of my madness. looking back on it now it seems like a different person than what i am now.

there are feelings of intensity which you just cant have living a normal life, or rather the feelings prevent you from being normal. being an isolated incel is never the answer though, maintaining a connection with people is important

i relate more to Trakl than Pessoa as far as fucked up poets go

here is a good Trakl poem:

Trumpets:
Under the trimmed willows, where brown children
are playing
And leaves tumbling, the trumpets blow. A quaking
of cemeteries.
Banners of scarlet rattle through a sadness of maple
trees,
Riders along rye-fields, empty mills.
Or shepherds sing during the night, and stags step
delicately
Into the circle of their fire, the grove’s sorrow
immensely old,
Dancing, they loom up from one black wall;
Banners of scarlet, laughter, insanity, trumpets.

Hyperbole. But even Borges had wives and girlfriends, ffs. Pessoa had serious depression issues.

>does that make his life as it was less valuable than a normal one?
No, but that's not the point.

I still think he's interesting as as a personage, but I wouldn't trade my life for his like I would with other poets like Lord Byron.

Why does this board suddenly hate Pessoa so much? He was a genius poet that wrote some unpublished, introspective fragments under a heteronym which later became the Book of Disquiet. Everyone keeps treating him as if he's just pathetic /r9k/ trash.

Why do you faggots hate Pessoa now? I agree he's not a model to follow but he brightly expresses his anguish and sadness in beatiful poems, you can feel his despair and I guess we agree that this is the value of an artist: portrait the tragedy of human condition.

Don't exaggerate, it's not one way or the other, that's a simple-minded worldview, do try to be conscious about it. All in all one can argue that Pessoa's poetry has some artistic and aesthetic merit to it, but his worldview and general attitude towards life can seem pathetic and sentimental once one passes a cartain age or phase in one's life. And that is only natural, to outgrow things, whatever their origin.

Because you criticise the "worldview and general attitude towards life" of a poet who made a very clear effort to avoid being that one-dimensional. Pessoa would probably deny even having a worldview at all.
>pathetic and sentimental
Completely meaningless words to use here.

Also you talk about "outgrowing" one the great 20th Century poets as if he were a Harry Potter book.

>Pessoa would probably deny even having a worldview at all.
that's in itself a worldview and an attitude.

>Also you talk about "outgrowing" one the great 20th Century poets as if he were a Harry Potter book.
You can outgrow anything you experienced as a young man and now as an adult it's just not for you, but that doesn't mean it's bad or good: it's just not for you anymore.

[Anonymous No.11725700]

>>11725681
>that's in itself a worldview and an attitude
Its not a worldview but it does hint at certain attitude, yes. But really its more of a general skepticism about things which, to my mind, is more of a typically adult trait.

Also "outgrowing" is much more about maturity than simply changing, hence why it really is a kind of insult to Pessoa's poetry to say he's someone to be "outgrown."

Btw are you the Spanish guy in his early 40s? I think I remember speaking to you before.

[Anonymous No.11725721]

From the Cambridge Dictionary:
outgrow (verb): 1. to grow bigger than or too big for something. 2. to lose interest in an idea or activity as you get older

I was using the second one.

Ophelia Quiroz was willing to play along with all his heteronymic weirdo artist shit and he was the one who dumped her, not the other way around.

Pessoa was a volcel. He had enough financial resources and familial connections to live where he pleased and get a far more prestigious job than being a translator for an import-export firm. He actively chose to live the way he did.
