That wild soul at her feet

Ver aquela alma selvagem, livre como as aves que planavam no ar ou como os rios que corriam na várzea; aquela natureza forte e vigorosa que fazia prodígios de força e coragem; aquela vontade indomável como a torrente que se precipita do alto da serra; prostrar-se a seus pés submissa, vencida, escrava!...

The setting

To see that wild soul, free as the birds that soared in the air or the rivers that ran through the floodplain; that strong and vigorous nature that wrought marvels of strength and courage; that will indomitable as the torrent that hurls itself from the mountain heights; cast down at her feet, submissive, vanquished, a slave!...
