A sua frase corre como o regato que serpeja, ou salta como o rio que se despenha da cascata; às vezes se eleva ao cimo da montanha, outras desce e rasteja como o inseto, sutil, delicada e mimosa.

The setting

His phrase runs like the brook that winds, or leaps like the river that plunges down the cascade; sometimes it rises to the mountain's summit, other times it descends and crawls like the insect, subtle, delicate, and dainty.
