he woman Caeiro fell in love with. I have no idea who she was, and I intend to never find out, not even out of curiosity. There are things of which the soul refuses to lose its ignorance. Iām perfectly aware no oneās obliged to reciprocate love, and great poets have nothing to do with being great lovers. But thereās a transcendent spite... Let her remain anonymous even to God!
Trust is what I give to others out of the hope that they will give it back to me. But too often the return on such an investment is that it doesnāt return.
