A line traced in the forest

Read the full text in our reader

Um ramo quebrado, o capim abatido, as folhas secas espalhadas e partidas, um galho que ainda se agita, as pérolas do orvalho desfeitas, são aos seus olhos exercitados o mesmo que uma linha traçada na floresta, e que eles seguem sem hesitação.

The setting

A broken branch, the flattened grass, dry leaves scattered and split, a bough still swaying, the dew-pearls shaken off, are to their practiced eyes the same as a line traced in the forest, which they follow without hesitation.
