The moonlight behind the tall branches
The poets all say is more
Than the moonlight behind the tall branches.
But for me, who do not know what I think---
What the moonlight behind the tall branches
Is, beyond its being
The moonlight behind the tall branches,
Is its not being more
Than the moonlight behind the tall branches.
-- XXXV. "The moonlight behind the tall branches" from The Keeper of Sheep, by Fernando Pessoa
