Alberto Caeiro ... one portuguese reference in poetry

Alberto Caeiro, describes a idea of the natural knowledge, a transmission that is exchange between the simplicity of the senses - not thinking - because "thinking is a disease to the eyes". He is a shepherd, that searches the meanings of life in the trees, in the river beliving that the world is like a flower, a realite that without thinking , exists in front of his eyes. One of my favourite portuguese poets ... i posted the poem in portuguese, but i thinking you can find some tranlations.
Hope that you can search something about it, and have a idea of portuguese poetry, as well as a introduction to this way of life...
