Art and Culture in Lisbon

In Lisbon I had the honor of seeing first hand the fragmented manuscripts of Fernnando Pessoa - 'The Book of Disquiet' at the National Library. Written on hundreds, if not thousands of scraps of paper, old envelopes and notebooks, and not published until long after his death, these treasured jigsaw pieces, discovered in an old suitcase, are one of the literary treasures of Europe, and I held them in my hand! After this euphoric moment I went out to celebrate and found this contraption on the street outside a restaurant - A chef sharpening his kitchen knives. A man after my own heart!
