“Here and there in Lisboa -

when we are in a rush or

wondering through the

streets

Around the corner suddenly

we see the iridescent Tagus:

Then light becomes our body

and our soul gets wings”

Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (1994), in

Obra Poética, 2011

“O blue sky—the same one I knew as a child—

Perfect and empty eternal truth!

O gentle, silent, ancestral Tagus,

Tiny truth in which the sky is mirrored!”Álvaro de Campos, in Lisbon Revisited, 1923
