摘要：If the intimate ancestral relationship between poetry and music is evident from the form and etymology of the word “lyric,” no less evident is the resistance, or at least suspicion, that has often arisen from adapting poetry to song. Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935), through the voice of his heteronym, Álvaro de Campos, would maintain that poetry itself was already imbued with musicality, and therefore any attempt to set it to music would be redundant, or even artificial: And this is what poetry is: singing without music. That’s why the great lyric poets, in the grand sense of the adjective “lyric,” are not musical. How could they be lyric if they were musical.
