Hello Betty! It was challenging to travel in time with the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. I most thoroughly translated his words that do not know. From everything I read I was impressed by the following sentence: We were born imbued by God. And another: The Portuguese sea is the abyss of suffering. I would like to ask: Where is - in what city - written on a wall, this great poem? Portuguese language is soft as silk and bears in the air. Thanks that you share with us this video. For me, poetry is the soul of human (man). Svetla

Thank you so much, Svetla ;)
This video was made on Second Life (SL), a virtual plataform; it could be a very nice way to share a lot of things ;)
I already share our project on SL, in a meeting for teachers, mainly.

Dear Betty,
Thank you so much for the video!
Fernando Pessoa's poems are fantastic! I read about him on the Internet and I found these quotes:
"We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin."
I think that they are powerful.
Congratulations for the amazing platform "Second Life"! It's great to use it.
Many hugs and kisses, Reny
