Not Only Wine But Its Oblivion I Pour
Pessoa-June 1926

Not only wine but its oblivion I pour
In my cup, and I will be happy, because happiness
Is ignorant. Who, remembering
Or foreseeing, ever smiled?

Let us, with our thinking, obtain not the life
But the soul of animals, taking refuge
In the impalpable destiny
Which neither hopes or remembers.

With mortal hand I raise the fragile cup
Of fleeting wine to my mortal mouth,
Eyes clouded,
Ready to stop seeing.
