2. European Time In a capsule Europe lies, reclining upon her elbows: From East to West she stretches, staring, And romantic tresses fall over Greek eyes, reminding. The left elbow is stepped back; The other laid out at an angle. The first says Italy where it leans; This one England where, set afar, The hand holds the resting face. Enigmatic and fateful she stares Out West, to the future of the past By Fernando Pessoa Introduction
