A árvore fendeu-se desde o olho até à raiz em duas metades; uma permaneceu em pé, esguia e mutilada; a outra, tombando sobre o terreiro, bateu nos peitos de Fernão Aines e o atirou esmagado no fundo do alpendre.

The setting

The tree split from crown to root into two halves; one stayed upright, slender and mangled; the other, toppling onto the yard, struck the chest of Fernão Aines and flung him, crushed, into the depths of the porch.
