We want to pass a river, and pass; But it will give to the other band is at a much lower point, very different from the one where it was first thought. Not living or is not too dangerous?
The quote reflects the journey of navigating challenges, symbolized by a river that must be crossed. It emphasizes the notion that pursuing one's goals may lead to unexpected outcomes, where the destination can differ significantly from the original intention. This mirrors life's unpredictable nature where aspirations and realities are often at odds.
In the context of João Guimarães Rosa's "Grande Sertão: Veredas," the river represents not just a physical barrier but also life’s complexities. The characters must confront the uncertainty of their choices, weighing the risks against the rewards. Ultimately, it raises questions about the nature of existence and the courage required to face the unknown.
