"English Poems, Volume 01 (of 2)" by Fernando Pessoa is a collection of early 20th-century poems exploring themes of love, loss, and spirituality through diverse poetic forms. A highlight is the poem "Antinous," which portrays Emperor Hadrian's deep sorrow after the death of his beloved Antinous, and also captures the emperor's memories as he grapples with love, beauty, and the meaning of mortality. Hadrian's grief and desire to immortalize Antinous mixes with his reflections on the fleeting nature of life, creating something that blends longing and philosophical thought. Complementing "Antinous," the "Inscriptions" section contains thoughtful ideas on life, fading memories, and the passage of time, further emphasizing the themes of love and how short life can be.
