Once More I See You …

Lisbon. A series of pictures that illustrate one of the poems by Fernando Pessoa. A seaman after many years returns to the city of his birth.

Once more I see you,

city of my youth so tragically lost …

Oh sad but joyful city, once again in you I can dream …

But am I the same man who lived here, and here returned,

and to here kept on returning and returning,

and once again I come to return?

Or am I all of those I’d who were here,

a series of beads, held together by a thread of memory,

a series of dreams, with me looking on?
