A city in this country titles a poem in which the speaker exclaims “as long as the Silence and Abyss hold off, I want to be alone!”, which is the first of two poems titled “[that city] Revisited.” A section that groups poems according to the coat of arms opens a collection from this country titled for a translation of the word “message.” A poem from this country includes the line “where the land ends and the sea begins,” which inspired the first line of a novel from this country that depicts the final year of a “heteronym” of a poet from here. The “dog of tears” protects people in a novel from this country in which the doctor’s wife is the only person not afflicted with the title “white sickness.” For 10 points, name this home country of Fernando Pessoa and the author of Blindness, José Saramago. ■END■
