Explore "35 Sonnets" by Fernando Pessoa on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How many masks wear we, and undermasks, / Upon our countenance of soul, and when, / If for self-sport the soul itself unmasks, / Knows it the last mask off and the face plain? / The true mask feels no inside to the mask / But looks out of the mask by co-masked eyes.
Whatever consciousness begins the task / The task's accepted use to sleepness ties.
