Lost in thoughts of Cecília

Read the full text in our reader

Álvaro caminhava tranqüilamente; seu pensamento estava bem longe dele, e esvoaçava em torno da imagem de Cecília, junto da qual via os grandes olhos negros e aveludados de Isabel embebidos numa languidez melancólica; era a primeira vez que aquele rosto moreno e aquela beleza ardente e voluptuosa se viera confundir em sonhos com o anjo louro dos seus amores.

The setting

Álvaro walked calmly; his thought was far from him, and hovered about the image of Cecília, beside which he saw the great black, velvety eyes of Isabel steeped in a melancholy languor; it was the first time that that dark face and that ardent, voluptuous beauty had come to mingle in dreams with the fair angel of his loves.
