Pity him who lives at home
Happy with his life,
Without a dream, a flexing of wings,
To make him relinquish
Even the warmest ember of his hearth!

Pity him who is happy!
He lives because life lasts.
Nothing within him whispers
More than the primeval law:
That life leads to the grave. (Fernando Pessoa)

Pity him who lives at home Happy with his life, Without a dream, a flexing of wings, To make him relinquish Even the warmest ember of his hearth! Pity him who is happy! He lives because life lasts. Nothing within him whispers More than the primeval law: That life leads to the grave.

Fernando Pessoa
