À vista do roteiro era impossível que não sentissem a febre da riqueza, a auri sacra fames que se havia apoderado dele próprio, no momento em que vira abrir-se diante de seus olhos um mar de prata fundida em que os seus lábios podiam matar a sede ardente que o devorava.

The setting

At the sight of the roteiro it was impossible that they should not feel the fever of wealth, the auri sacra fames that had taken hold of him himself, in the moment when he had seen open before his eyes a sea of molten silver in which his lips could slake the burning thirst that devoured him.
