Overlooking infinity

“From my fourth-floor room overlooking infinity, in the viable intimacy of the falling evening, at the window before the emerging stars, my dreams – in rhythmic accord with the visible distance – are of journeys to unknown, imagined or simply impossible countries.”

Text 421 (‘Journey in the Mind’) from The Book of Disquiet (ISBN 0141183047) by Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
