Description
Depois do baile de Carnaval, numa rua cheia de luar, o Diabo fala com Maria, para quem este é apenas um rapaz mascarado de Mefistófeles. Auto denominando-se "Deus da Imaginação", a quem Maria deve os seus pensamentos com o Príncipe Encantado, bem como os seus sonhos com o Homem Perfeito ou o amante interminável, o Diabo descreve-lhe as suas melhores criações, o luar e a ironia, explicando-lhe como os crentes temem o seu nome e as igrejas o abominam. Mas, em vez de impressionar Maria, esta demonstra-lhe a imensa pena que por si sente, e observa a expressão de angústia que perpassa pelo rosto e olhos do homem vermelho, ao deixar de súbito cair o braço que enlaçava o dela. Refere Teresa Rita Lopes, no posfácio a esta obra, que A Hora do Diabo, juntamente com Fausto, o poema dramático que Pessoa foi escrevendo ao longo da vida, é um dos mais longínquos projectos do jovem Pessoa, correspondendo este texto, não a uma curiosidade literária, mas a um tema que o poeta sempre desejou desenvolver.
