Cecília and the hummingbirds

Read the full text in our reader

Quando Cecília se cansou de admirá-los, tomou-os um por um, beijou-os, aqueceu-os no seio, e sentiu não ser uma flor bela e perfumada para que eles a beijassem também, e esvoaçassem constantemente em torno dela.

The setting

When Cecília tired of admiring them, she took them one by one, kissed them, warmed them at her breast, and felt sorry not to be a lovely fragrant flower so that they too might kiss her and flutter constantly around her.
