PESSOA, Fernando.- Antinous: a poem / by Fernando Pessoa.- Lisbon: Monteiro & Co., 1918.- 16 p.; 24 cm.- B. The poem, entirely written and composed in English, was destined to be published in the number 3 of the Orpheu magazine and reports the episode in which the Roman Emperor Hadrian (76-138) mourns the death of his favorite Antinous, before his naked body. His theme, intrinsically linked to homosexuality, led and still leads some people to speculate about the Poet's true sexuality. A second and definitive version of this poem was published in 1921, as part of the first booklet (I-II) of the English poems. Clean copy, highly valued by the poet's autograph dedication on the front cover: Ao Carlos Queiroz, com um abraço do Fernando Pessoa (Carlos Queroz [1907-1949], poet, friend of Pessoa, nephew of Ofélia Queiroz).
