The joyful girl finds solace in weeping

Read the full text in our reader

Ela, a menina alegre e feiticeira que só aprendera a sorrir, ela, o anjinho do prazer que bafejava tudo quanto a rodeava, achou um gozo inefável em chorar. Quando enxugou as lágrimas, sofria menos; sentiu-se aliviada; pôde então refletir sobre o que havia passado.

The setting

She, the merry, bewitching girl who had learned only to smile; she, the little angel of pleasure who breathed warmth on all around her, found an ineffable delight in weeping. When she dried her tears, she suffered less; she felt relieved; she could then reflect on what had happened.
