"Como ela corre com que força o vento a impele
Bamos com Deus
Lanchas ide com Deus ide e voltai com ele
For esse mar de cristo
Adeus! Adeus! Adeus!"
Do Livro "só"
"As she runs with the wind force that impels
Let's go with God
Boats go with God and turn to him
For this sea of ??christ
Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!"
From the book "Só"
António Nobre:
He was a Portuguese poet. He died of tuberculosis in Foz do Douro, Porto, in 1900, after trying to recover in a number of places. His masterpiece Só (Paris, 1892), was the only book he published in life.
Other than Só (Paris, 1892) two other posthumous works were published: Despedidas (1st edition, 1902), with a fragment from O Desejado, and Primeiros Versos (1st edition, 1921). António Nobre's correspondence is reunited in several volumes: Cartas Inéditas a A.N., with an introduction and notes by A. Casais Monteiro, Cartas e Bilhetes-Postais a Justino de Montalvão with a foreword and notes by Alberto de Serpa, Porto, 1956; Correspondência, with an introduction and notes by Guilherme de Castilho, Lisbon, 1967 (a compilation of 244 letters, 56 of which unpublished).
