Explore "35 Sonnets" by Fernando Pessoa on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If that apparent part of life's delight / Our tingled flesh-sense circumscribes were seen / By aught save reflex and co-carnal sight, / Joy, flesh and life might prove but a gross screen.
Haply Truth's body is no eyable being, / Appearance even as appearance lies, / Haply our close, dark, vague, warm sense of seeing / Is the choked vision of blindfolded eyes.
