thumb|Alexandre O'Neill Alexandre Manuel Vahia de Castro O'Neill de Bulhões, GOSE (19 December 1924 – 21 August 1986) was a Portuguese poet of Irish descent. Quotes Você tem-me cavalgado,seu safado!Você tem-me cavalgado,mas nem por isso me pôsa pensar como você.Que uma coisa pensa o cavalo;outra quem está a montá-lo. You've mounted me and there you sit,you rotten shit!You've mounted me and there you sit,but even that won't really makeme think like you.For the horse thinks one way as he strides;thoughts quite different from the one who rides.
