Transcendent poetic dwelling: Emerson, Caeiro, and an unpublished English poem

≈ 2 mins de leitura

Patricio Ferrari

We can only speculate as to what drew Pessoa to Emerson’s work. Was it their common interest in Thomas Carlyle, the New Englander’s life‑long British friend and most devoted correspondent? Was it his concept of the imagination and the role of the “Poet”? Or was it perhaps his transcendental understanding of “Nature,” with its radical implications for the nature of personal identity? An unpublished English poem written by Pessoa only fifteen days after the last dated poem from Caeiro’s forty‑‑nine poem sequence holds an uncanny echo in tone, mood, and imagery with the shepherd poet. In turn, Pessoa’s English poem reminds us of Emerson’s scene on the Boston Commons, in his first chapter of “Nature,” where seeing and being are one and the same.
