Everything made her cry out in delight

Read the full text in our reader

Tudo para ela tinha um encanto inexprimível; as lágrimas da noite que tremiam como brilhantes das folhas das palmeiras; a borboleta que ainda com as asas entorpecidas esperava o calor do sol para reanimar-se; a viuvinha que escondida na ramagem avisava o companheiro que o dia vinha raiando: tudo lhe fazia soltar um grito de surpresa e de prazer.

The setting

Everything held an inexpressible charm for her: the tears of the night trembling like diamonds on the palm-fronds; the butterfly that, its wings still numb, awaited the sun's warmth to revive; the widow-bird hidden in the foliage warning its mate that day was breaking — everything made her let out a cry of surprise and delight.
