It's pretty rare that a single town in the statues of two poets are just a few meters apart. What's happening in Lisbon, and can be interpreted as a good sign. The elegant square Chiado, where is the Brazilian, is dedicated to the sixteenth-century poet António Ribeiro Chiado, whose small statue, also of bronze, shows him with a mocking grin on his face, as was the ridicule of his poetry. Portugal has a long tradition of irreverent, satirical poetry, from the medieval troubadours, and is a poetic genre that enjoys high esteem, as in any civilized country, because we know that without any satire monarch (or similar) would be a monarch ever, a tyrant.
A few meters from the face wry face is unreadable by Fernando Pessoa with a wry smile on his lips. The sculptor has carved the Lagoa Henriques as if it were really the cafe, sitting on a chair with his leg and placed seven on the other (a position that clashes with the casual character). The irony is often evident in his poems, but perhaps it is ironic that his thought, with that of the "ironic consciousness," to use the words of a French philosopher, which made him think that we are One Hundred Thousand and None and that allowed him to create his human comedy in poetry.
