Produced by Tiago Tejo "Antinous: A Poem by Fernando Pessoa" is a poignant exploration of love and loss, written during the early 20th century. This lyrical poem reflects on the deep, tragic romance between Emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous, who has died, leaving Hadrian to grapple with profound grief and the impermanence of beauty and youth. The poem weaves rich imagery and emotional depth, inviting readers into the soul of a ruler who struggles with the weight of his love amidst the backdrop of mortality. The narrative unfolds as Hadrian mourns Antinous, confronted by the reality of death that abruptly severs their passionate bond. As Hadrian recalls the intimate moments they shared, he is overwhelmed by a sense of longing and despair. The poem vividly describes the visceral sensations of love intertwined with mortality, portraying Antinous as both a physical presence and a memory that will outlast time. Hadrian's resolve to immortalize their love through the creation of a statue symbolizes his desire to preserve not only Antinous's beauty but also the essence of their connection, elevating their love story to a divine plane beyond the reach of death. Ultimately, Pessoa's work encapsulates the interplay of love, memory, and the quest for eternal meaning in the face of inevitable loss.
