Mensaje (Mensagem)

Pessoa's poetry feels deeply rooted in spiritual and national symbolism. I'm curious what motivated these choices and how they reflect Portuguese identity.

The poems evoke a kind of prophetic view of the nation's future. How did others interpret the sense of fate woven throughout the work?

The formality and rhythm seem deliberate—do they serve to deepen the mystical atmosphere or highlight specific ideas? I wonder what choices Pessoa made in this regard.
