Teixeira de Pascoaes
Teixeira de Pascoaes , the pseudonym of Joaquim Pereira Teixeira de Vasconcelos (born November 2, 1877 in Amarante , † December 14, 1952 in Gatão (province of Porto )), was a Portuguese poet and mystic.
Teixeira de Pascoaes came from an aristocratic family that was highly respected in Portugal. He wrote poetry, dramas, biographies, novels and essays based on Portuguese history. His work revolved around a kind of mystical-pantheistic cult of longing.
Pascoaes belonged to the direction of the so-called Saudosismo . Together with António Sérgio and Raul Proença , he was one of the leaders of the new movement of the "Portuguese Renaissance". Together with Leonardo Coimbra and Jaime Cortesão he edited the magazine " A Águia " (Eng. The Eagle ).
Pascoaes spent large parts of his life on his family's winery " Sao Jao de Gatao " near Amarante, where he worked the land and wrote many of his poems, some of which are about the landscape of the area.
From 1939 to 1947 he also housed the German writer and translator of his works into German and Dutch Albert Vigoleis Thelen .
