Três datas: entre nascer e morrer, O guardador de rebanhos

Abstract

The present work aims the creation exercise around day March 8, 1914, told as triumphant day by the poet Fernando Pessoa, moments before the writing of the poem The Keeper of Sheep, authored by the heteronym Alberto Caeiro. From the verses of the poem a fictional construction is undertaken, stucked in a dream state, channel to the flows of creation, preparation for what will hatch: a powerful poem that emerges from the mystery of heteronomy, poet s resignation to his voice to give rise to the OTHER that differs from him, however arises from him, lives within him. There is in the fictional space the idea to inscribe the date of March 8, 1914 as a third milestone in the biography of the poet who denied to have biography, just birth and death as limits between which the life ran like work, like writing poetry. The date that gives flesh to the poem is fiction within the fiction, war counterpoint amid the light of poetry that emerges as heroic task of coping on the dangers of the world. The work aims to get closer to a truth that only through fiction can be played: feel the flow of a day in the creation process of the poet, to be free like him, in the daring to recreate the time of the poem writing in 1914
