Images compose my life

That is Florbela Espanca, a poetess from the beggining of the 20th century. For me, she's the most talented poetess that ever lived. She commited suicide in the evening of her 36 birthday. She had a passion that was seen as inapropriate for a women and had no luck with it. The men she loved were homosexual or turned out the tipical machist men. Her bohemian attitude put her on the margin of the society, leaving her longing for the nights were she could roam this city and gaze at the stars. She wore black dresses and her skin was pale white. Although she was ignore by the her contempory fellows she is well known now and her poems are part of the main lectures in the high school.

She would had been a fine goth in our days...
