About these poems: My Poemas do Jardim (Poems from the Garden) are poems written during my stay in Portugal. The Garden represents an Ideal—a thing not to be fully realized or attained in this life, but no less real or conceivable. The Garden is Portugal. "O verso não é bom, mas não me occorre / Nenhum outro melhor neste momento." —Bulhão Pato.
