Cesário Verde

25 February 1855 – 18 July 1886

Cesário Verde was a 19th-century Portuguese poet. His work, while mostly ignored during his lifetime, is generally considered to be amongst the most important in Portuguese poetry and is widely taught in schools. This is partly due to his being championed by many other authors after his death, notably Fernando Pessoa. ---------- Cesário Verde foi um poeta português, sendo considerado um dos pioneiros, precursores da poesia que seria feita em Portugal no século XX.
