"Shade the lamp
And ask no questions...
Wait... Time is speaking...
Wait till he end,
This moment.
The bridge
In the medieval city,
The river coming up
To the quay,
And to-day's streets
Outside
And the shaded lamp
Meaning this double thing.
Lamp-shade in green and purple."
Fernando Pessoa, Poesia Inglesa II, ed. Luísa Freire. Lisboa: Assírio & Alvim, 2000, p.116.
