Juramento de afastamento

Read the full text in our reader

Eu falava -me, eu perseguia -me, eu atirava -me à cama, e rolava comigo, e chorava, e abafava os soluços com a ponta do lençol. Jurei não ir ver Capitu aquela tarde, nem nunca mais, e fazer -me padre de uma vez.

I spoke to myself, I pursued myself, I threw myself onto the bed, and rolled with myself, and cried, and stifled the sobs with the tip of the sheet. I swore not to go see Capitu that afternoon, nor ever again, and make myself a priest once and for all.
