“Into the Sun”
by Solar Fields
Poem "Horizonte" by Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) Oh ocean preceding us, your fears Had coral and beaches and forests to them. Were the night and fog unveiled, The past’s storms and mystery, The Afar would blossom, and the starlit South Shine resplendent on the ship of initiation. Austere line of the distant coast – Upon the ship’s approach, the slope of the land rises In trees with nothing far about them; Closer by, the earth opens up in sounds and colours: And upon landing there are birds and flowers Where from afar there was only an abstract line. The dream is to see the invisibile forms Of imprecise distances, and, with sensitive Movements of hope and will, To seek out in the cold line of the horizon The tree, the beach, the flower, the bird, the fountain - The much-deserved caresses of Truth.
