Explore "35 Sonnets" by Fernando Pessoa on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We are in Fate and Fate's and do but lack / Outness from soul to know ourselves its dwelling, / And do but compel Fate aside or back / By Fate's own immanence in the compelling.
We are too far in us from outward truth / To know how much we are not what we are, / And live but in the heat of error's youth, / Yet young enough its acting youth to ignore.
