Saudade






"The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for
something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the
present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active
discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness."



A.F.G. Bell

"Tomorrow"-whose location


"Tomorrow"—whose location


The Wise deceives


Though its hallucination


Is last that leaves—


Tomorrow—thou Retriever


Of every tare—


Of Alibi art thou


Or ownest where?



poem by Emily Dickinson
