Prayer and fresh weeping

Read the full text in our reader

Às vezes, ainda umedecidos de pranto, seus olhos negros brilhavam com um fulgor extraordinário; parecia que um pensamento delirante passava rapidamente no seu espírito desvairado. Então ajoelhava-se, e fazia uma oração, no meio da qual suas lágrimas vinham de novo orvalhar-lhe as faces.

The setting

Sometimes, still moist with weeping, her black eyes shone with an extraordinary brilliance; a delirious thought seemed to flash across her distraught mind. Then she would kneel and pray, and in the midst of it her tears came again to bedew her cheeks.
