Her hopeless love

Read the full text in our reader

Pensava no seu amor infeliz, na solidão de sua alma, tão erma de recordações doces, de esperanças queridas. Toda essa tarde fora um martírio para ela; vira Álvaro falar a Cecília, adivinhara quase as suas palavras. Há poucos momentos tinha percebido a sombra do moço que atravessara a esplanada, e sabia que não era por sua causa que ele passava.

The setting

She thought of her unhappy love, of the solitude of a soul barren of sweet memories and cherished hopes; the whole evening had been a martyrdom — she had seen Álvaro speak to Cecília, all but guessed his words, and knew the shadow crossing the terrace was not passing for her sake.
