By the point he is moved the sensation by way of, a revelation bursts by way of his chest: “I got here right here to stay,” he chants. There’s all the time melancholy on the outset — Brazilians name this saudade — however in his confrontation and curiosity, Bernardes finds pleasure on the opposite facet.
