TODAY (10 of June) IS PORTUGAL DAY WOOOO🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

More specifically Day of Camões and Portuguese communities

So who was Camões?

Luís Vaz de Camões lived in the 1500's and died 5th of July of 1580, and no-one is sure when he was born, but we think it was 500 years ago so that makes today extra special.

He was born into a lower class noble family, and was the man who wrote an epic poem called Lusíadas , (LIKE THE ODYSSEY OK??? ) one of the 2 WRITTEN BY THE PORTUGUESE!!!! (The other one was written by Fernando Pessoa, and it is very nice as well, and talks abt how amazing we are hehe)

It was finished in 1572, and talked about the discovery of the way to India by sea (we did that), and mixes it with some elements from the roman gods, and its amazing I 100% think everyone should read it. It was all written on 10 verse stranzas/strophes all with 10 metric syllables so yeah impressing. It contains a lot of history as well, and well known stories (atleast in Portugal) like the romance of Pedro and Inês.

THE ROMANCE OF PEDRO AND INÊS

This is a real Romeo and Julliet kind of story, where Pedro, the heir to the throne of Portugal, and he gets and arranged marriage with a Spanish princess, and in her court comes a lady named Inês de Castro, and they fall in love and she becomes one of his mistresses. Except she was special, and he spent a bunch of time with her and 2 kids with her. Then his wife dies and Pedro refuses to remarry (he had kids with his official wife too so no big deal right? wrong) and his dad is afraid that he marrys Inês, since their marriage would endanger the kingdom's independence, and it was church wrong cause they already had kids. So he murders her. Well he sends someone to murder her and she dies. Sad. BUT in Lusíadas it is VERY DRAMATIC AND SHE MAKES A SPEECH ASKING THE KING (D. Afonso btw) TO SPARE HER AND WOW ITS AMAZING

Irl she was assassinated in "Quinta das Lágrimas" (in Coimbra), which translates to "Farm of Tears" (it rlly was sad) and there are some stones on the fountain where she where she was killed (maybe) that are red and legend says it is her blood that stained those stones forever (heartbreaking ok)

THEN YOU THINK PEDRO WAS HAPPY?? NO. THAT MAN WAITED UNTIL HIS FATHER DIED AND HE WAS KING SO THAT HE COULD SAY THAT HE HAD MARRIED HER AND SHE WAS THE QUEEN.

I mean TRUE LOVE OK??

She was coronated post-mortem and her body was moved to a grave that Pedro had made for her and him where they forever would be together LIKE OMG TELL ME THATS NOT SWEET

And he also assassinated the man who killed her except one, who he later pardoned near his death

There is also a story (it's just a story, not real) that he pulled her out of her grave, gave her fancy clothes and a crown and made every noble person kiss her hand as a sign of respect to the queen (it didn't happen but IMAGINE THAT OK) When in reality he made a big parade while we was moving her body.

ANYWAY

It is an amazing book I won't say more because this is already too long but I CAN , JUST ASK!!

Yeah, good Portugal day to you!!!

Tagging some people because this took way too long for no-one to see ok

Ao Desconcerto do Mundo

"Os bons vi sempre passar No mundo graves tormentos; E para mais me espantar, Os maus vi sempre nadar Em mar de contentamentos.

Cuidando alcançar assim O bem tão mal ordenado, Fui mau, mas fui castigado. Assim que, só para mim, Anda o mundo concertado."

Luís Vaz de Camões

Invent fresh arts and cunning, Love,

to destroy me, and new frustrations;

but you can’t remove my expectations,

by taking away what I don’t have.

Look where my hopes are grounded!

Observe what perilous guarantees

that I don’t fear even on the wildest seas,

contrast or change, the ship having foundered.

But insofar as I’m not unhappy

when hope fails, Love maintains within

an evil that destroys, and in secret;

some days there pitches camp in me

I know not what, nor where it is born,

nor whence it comes, nor why it hurts.

Luís de Camões, translated by Landeg White

Gentle soul of mine, that was gone

so soon from this unpleased life

rest there in the heavens, everlasting

and live I, here, on earth, always sad.

If there, in the etherial seat where you have gone up

memory from this life is consented

don't you forget that flaming love,

that already pure you saw, in my eyes.

And if you see that can deserve you

any of this pain who stayed with me,

from the sorrow, without remedy, for losing you

Pray to the Lord who shortened your years,

That He may early take me from here to see you

as early from my eyes, he took you.  From Camões to Dinamene, his beloved lover who died drowned.

"I love the smallness/delicacy of my days, for simply feeling what fits me, in the certainty that they have the real greatness of existing."

The way it is largely left up in the air is that these moments between Alicent and Cole are the only thing that is keeping them sane. It is so poetically tragic that what brings them shame is precisely what keeps them from losing themselves.
