| | Florbela Espanca - english version |
 | | Florbela, the poet, cannot be separated from her condition as a woman, or from her passions, her way of being, her life, her contradictions, humbleness and pride, her prejudices, her simultaneous presence and absence, her love affairs and unrequited loves, as explained to me by my young friend Clara Santos, herself a militant Florbela follower. |
 | | Florbela’s prose writing is represented by her short stories, by a diary she kept just before her death, and by her correspondence. |
 | | Florbela might not have been the greatest poetess of her time, but she was one who most sharply and fearlessly expressed the great contradictions in the sensitiveness of a woman and her passions. |
