"like a (lightning) flash of sound Explanation: I looked on the Internet and found lots of poems by Pessoa (and his various pseudonyms) but none with this particular line in it. Here is my own best effort at translation: "like a (lightning) flash of sound, followed not by noise but (by) tenderness". Reference: http://pintopc.home.cern.ch/pintopc/www/FPessoa/FPessoa.html |
