320 autumn arrives, 339 what I see in the lake is myself!, 342 life is like a ball of yarn that someone got all tanged up (dreams), 348 oppression of affection of others, 359 we are islands in the sea of life, 363 love is the most carnal of illusions (possession), 370! 381 tedium!, 389 bernados objective (slowly)

270, art guiltless pleasure, 266 verdant Cyprus white room with piano, 262 the abyss of the self!,

238! 241, 243

Interesting depiction of the man who reads, auxiole and the third etc the analysis of the two ways of living, the art life and the full life. The artists who experiences in emotion excess and it compelled to create because of it V the artist who uses his imagination

188?, 180, 1778?,167, 162! Best so far RE mistakes,

147, 145,143, 139, 138, To question:155,149. Texts 138's statement that we all contain everything we could ever be was explained so interestingly that I can't help but agree despite my dispair/motivation of the fact. Interestingly irony makes it way into the argument around the elation of an abstract thinker, while I agree that irony is a base state response, is it the only response? look back upon ourselfonly see us

I have realized, as much as I feel deeply comforted by this book that I need to take it slower. As fragmented this book is, it is also designed to be absorbed in fragments too such that it can spread its work over more time and perspective. So far my favorite frags.: 1,3,20,31,40,51,53,58,73,78,87,90,91

What a fantastic introduction by Richard Zenith! Truly the only time I have throughly appreciated an intro, straight away enveloping, he seems to give this book a bracket to contain its vastness.
I feel when I read Pessoa I feel a little less lonely, at this very lonely stage of my life
