    This poem is a tribute to Ricardo Reis. It summarizes that each day only comes once and time erases everything except the long indelible trace left by things not lived. It warns the reader not to believe in delaying as time, represented by Kronos, always moves faster than one's own pace. The past cannot be regained or flowers that were postponed can no longer be collected.

    Homenagem a Ricardo Reis

    Não creias, Lídia, que nenhum estio


    Por nós perdido possa regressar
    Oferecendo a flor

    Que adiámos colher.

    Cada dia te é dado uma só vez


    E no redondo círculo da noite
    Não existe piedade

    Para aquele que hesita.

    Mais tarde será tarde e já é tarde.


    O tempo apaga tudo menos esse
    Longo indelével rasto

    Que o não-vivido deixa.

    Não creias na demora em que te medes.


    Jamais se detém Kronos cujo passo

    Vai sempre mais à frente

    Do que o teu próprio passo.

    Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen,


    Obra Poética III
