"A saudade não está na distância das coisas,
mas numa súbita fractura de nós,
num quebrar de alma em que todas as coisas se afundam."
With these words I started our group's presentation today. I got applause. The Portuguese are either very easy to impress or they thought it was the Joke of the Year.
P.S. I still don't know what that sentence means.
"Homesickness is not due to distance between us,
VastaaPoistabut due to a sudden weakness of one's self in which the soul breaks and all things perish"
