Resumo
"Musa Velha" by Francisco Palha, is a compelling collection of poetry that conveys a sense of seasoned contemplation, possibly tinged with nostalgia or melancholy, as its title "Old Muse" suggests. The verses delve into themes of love, nature, the passage of time, and the human condition, all presented with a mature and evocative voice, characteristic of late 19th-century Portuguese lyricism.
