Inclasificable. Tremendo. Sin posibilidad de agotamiento.
El libro del desasosiego de Fernando Pessoa (Como Bernardo Soares), supone el conjunto de fragmentos escritos entre 1913 y 1935, que contienen reflexiones, anotaciones y apreciaciones incluso contradictorias entre sí, que procuran poner por escrito sensaciones y estados internos que muchas veces no cuentan con descripciones posibles. Abismos y cumbres que Pessoa logra iluminar mediante la meditación, la inquietud y la desazón.
Una experiencia inolvidable. Me es imposible en estos momentos comentar algo más acerca de un libro que conversa con lo indescriptible, y que se erige como un texto de consulta indefinida.

I took anticipated pleasure in this book, one in which to enjoy the forever changing views and ideas of Pessoa's different personas and his never ending descriptions of tedium. But on actually reading it, I lost myself in random thoughts, reading but not reading the phrases I looked forward to reading, while sometimes just judging his opinions without actually caring about them. I wouldn't be able to describe the slightest detail of his thoughts, the slightest scrap of idea that I should have remembered. What I got out of these pages are new thoughts, the fruit of his contradictions and his forgetting. I don't know if this is better or worse than the contrary, nor do I know what the contrary is.
As the pages go by, I arrive at the end of the book, but not at a conclusion.

"Fall gently, final hour of this day in which those who believe and are mistaken engage in their usual labours with the joy of unconsciousness, even in their pain. Fall gently, final wave of light, melancholy of this useless afternoon, fogless haze that seeps into my heart. Fall gently and lightly, shimmering blue paleness of this aquatic afternoon - gently, lightly, sadly over the cold and simple earth. Fall gently, invisible grey, embittered monotony, tireless tedium."
I've read this before, more than once. Wanted to see if I still liked it. The writing is excellent, but I find I'm not enjoying the disquiet so much this time around.

I fell in love with an author I might have completely disliked had I encountered him in real life. The beauty of expression, the optimistic nihilism presented in a poetic and metaphorical form totally enchanted me.
