Letters to Ophelia

The letters written by Portuguese poet and writer Fernando Pessoa to his fiancée not only testify to his love, but also reveal his secrets.

Letters to Ophélia exhibit Pessoa's loneliness, resentments, troubles, pain, jealousies and forward-looking thoughts.

“My little darling, my dear Baby, It was about four o'clock in the morning, I definitely gave up sleeping when my body writhing in pain needed rest. It's been like this for three nights, but tonight is one of the worst nights I've ever had in my life. There's no way you can understand this, my little darling, you're lucky. It's not just angina and the awful need to spit out water every two minutes that makes me lose sleep. I didn't have a fever, but I was delirious, I thought I was going crazy, I wanted to scream, scream, do a thousand and one things that didn't match each other.

"All this happened not because of the direct effect of the disappointment caused by the disease, but because I was bored all day yesterday with unresolved things related to the arrival of my family."
