That poem is so beautiful that I feel the need share the translation with my non Portuguese readers as well:

"To be a poet it's to be taller, it's to be greater

Than men! Biting as the one who kisses!

It's to be a beggar and give as if you were

King of the Kingdom of Pain and Beyond the Pain!

It's to have the splendor out of a thousand wishes

And do not even know what you wish!

It's to have here inside a flashing star,

It's to have claws and wings of a condor!

It's to be hungry, it's to have thirst of Infinite!

With helmet, mornings of gold and satin...

It's to condense the world into a single cry!

And it's love you so madly...

And it's you being soul, and blood and life in me...

And saying it singing to everybody!"

These pictures were taken in flea market (Feira da Ladra). You can find amazing bargains in there!
