Quem conhece a vegetação de nossa terra desde a parasita mimosa até o cedro gigante; quem no reino animal desce do tigre e do tapir, símbolos da ferocidade e da força, até o lindo beija-flor e o inseto dourado; quem olha este céu que passa do mais puro anil aos reflexos bronzeados que anunciam as grandes borrascas; quem viu, sob a verde pelúcia da relva esmaltada de flores que cobre as nossas várzeas deslizar mil répteis que levam a morte num átomo de veneno, compreende o que Álvaro sentiu.
Whoever knows the vegetation of our land, from the dainty parasite to the giant cedar; whoever in the animal kingdom descends from the tiger and the tapir, symbols of ferocity and force, down to the pretty hummingbird and the golden insect; whoever looks at this sky that passes from the purest indigo to the bronzed reflections that herald the great storms; whoever has seen, beneath the green plush of the flower-enameled turf that covers our meadows, a thousand reptiles glide bearing death in an atom of venom, understands what Álvaro felt.
