FITA Magazine Vol. II / Garden Constellation
The poets led our verve and opened the gates to the infinite gardens of Lisbon. Fernando Pessoa composed odes and disserted on the simplicity of flowers and their aromas. In the streets we hear Cesário Verde declaim “Yesterday I went to visit the wild little garden, / Where the moon kissed us often, / And in everything I saw the love that you gave me smile, / Superb as the sun, serene as flight.”
