Então se o descuidado caçador sentia o seu chapéu ornar-se de repente com uma pena vermelha que voava pelos ares sibilando; se via uma seta arrebatar-lhe o fruto que ele estendia a mão para colher; se parava assustado diante de uma longa flecha emplumada que despedida por elevação vinha cair-lhe a dois passos da frente como para embargar-lhe o caminho e servir de baliza: não se admirava.

The setting

So if the heedless hunter felt his hat suddenly decked with a red feather whistling through the air; if he saw a dart snatch away the fruit he reached to pick; if he stopped, startled, before a long feathered arrow that, loosed in a high arc, fell two paces before him as if to bar his way and serve as a boundary-marker — he was not surprised.
