Álvaro de Campos was one of the poet Fernando Pessoa's various heteronyms, with a reputation for a powerful and angry style of writing. (In the anthology "Fernando Pessoa & Co.: selected poems," he is described as a "jaded sensationalist.") During his futurist phase, hymns like "Ode Triunfal", "Ode Marítima", and "Ultimatum" praise the power of rising technology, the strength of machines, the dark side of industrial civilization, and an enigmatic love for machines.
