【When I did not have you (Quando eu n?o te tinha)】
Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935)
When I did not have you
I loved Nature like a recluse as calm as Christ…
Now I love nature
Like a monk as calm as the Virgin Mary,
Religiously, in my own way, as before,
But in a different way by approaching life more.
I see better the rivers when I go with you
In the fields to the edge of the rivers;
Sitting by your side noticing the clouds I fix on them better,
You do not take Nature away from me …
You changed Nature …
You brought me Nature to the foot of myself.
Because you exist I see you better, but the same,
Because you love me, I love you in the same way, but more,
Because you made me hold you and love you,
My eyes remained focused lingering more
Over everything.
I don't regret what I once was
Because I still am.
I only regret not having loved you before.
Put your hand in mine,
Let's be quiet, surrounded by life.

【《拥有你以前》】
(葡萄牙)冒险者·佩索阿“法人”(1888生—1935卒)
拥有你以前，
我热爱自然，就像安静的修道士热爱基督……
现在我热爱自然
就像安静的修道士热爱圣母。
我的虔诚一如既往，
但显得更诚挚更亲密。
当我和你一起穿过田野来到河畔
我看到的河流更美丽;
坐在你身边看云，我看得更清楚——
你不曾把自然从我这里带走……
你不曾改变自然对我的意义……
你使自然离我更近了。
因为你的存在，我能更好地看见你，但你是同一个人，
因为你爱我，我同样爱你，但我爱得更多，
因为你选择了我，让我拥有你而爱你，
我的眼睛在凝视万物时停留得更久。
我不为以前的我而后悔，
因为我还是同一个人。
我只遗憾以前不曾爱你。
把你的手放在我手里，
让我们保持安静，被生活环绕。
【注】离开西班牙的凶狗群岛(Canaries)之后，我们连夜直奔同样位于非洲板块上葡萄牙大西洋地区的森林岛，因其气候温和，山峦青翠，再加上熔岩地貌调以黑色沙滩，被誉为欧洲的夏威夷。
颇具地域特色地，渡槽(Levada)是16世纪森林岛靠囚犯或奴隶建造的灌溉渠道，可将西北部潮湿地带的水源输送到南部干旱区域的农业区。
另外，森林岛尤以本地出产的葡萄酒、动植物闻名于世，其史前月桂树林于1999年更被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。
