Fernando Pessoa

« All quotes from this author
 

If I had written King Lear, I would regret it all my life afterwards. Because that work is so big, that its defects show as huge, its monstrous defects, things even minimal in between some scenes and their possible perfection. It's not the sun with spots; it's a broken greek statue.

Original: Se eu tivesse escrito o Rei Lear, levaria com remorsos toda a minha vida de depois. Porque essa obra é t?o grande, que enormes avultam os seus defeitos, os seus monstruosos defeitos, as coisas até mínimas que est?o entre certas cenas e a perfeiç?o possível delas. N?o é o sol com manchas; é uma estátua grega partida.
--
Ibid., p. 250
