One and Another Plunge

"To live is to crochet according to a pattern we were given.
But while doing it the mind is at liberty, and all enchanted princes can
stroll in their parks between one and another plunge of the hooked ivory needle."

-Fernando Pessoa
from The Book of Disquiet

    Bless you for this, Brett. Had never heard of him, have checked him out and instantly ordered The Book of Disquiet and A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems.

    Bless you for this: from that day to this, Pessoa has been part of my spiritual furniture, though sometimes stored away in a dusty room.
