It was fun, but I still liked the idea about the thing more than the thing itself.

Pessoa contained many things, but certainly not the non-philosopher that he claimed to be.

Pessoa is quite a profound man. His writings could be classified as personal theoretical monologues, or perhaps philosophical literary meanderings. I'm any case, it's not just entertaining to read what he has to say on the failure that is Shakespeare, and the Anarchist Banker. There is so much truth to what he's writing, that his stories could fit into a prose book and a journal. I will always think of Pessoa when futurist, abstract poetry is the topic.
