- "O Sentimento dum Ocidental", published in English as "The Feeling of a Westerner" (Richard Zenith, 2009) is a long poem written by Portuguese poet Cesário Verde (1855–1886). It is today considered Verde's masterpiece and one of the foremost Portuguese poems of the 19th century. A narrative poem, it illustrates the multiplicity of the urban spaces in Lisbon — the paradigm of an ostensible national progress — and how they were lived, as the poetic persona, a flâneur in the manner of Baudelaire, shares his experience of contemplating the urban crowd while walking across the city. The description of the transformations of the social and physical landscape hints at the social malaise by focusing on the human pain and hardship that are commonplace around the city. Because the poem evokes, at times, a glorious national past only as a counterpoint to modern decadence, some critics like Eduardo Lourenço have referred to it as a "counter-epopee", a subversion of the epic poetry genre. It was first published in the newspaper Jornal de Viagens in 1880 and was later included in the posthumous compilation of Cesário Verde's poetry (O Livro de Cesário Verde, 1887). (en)
