{...} Major Saul, of boots and spurs, corpulent, almost an obese, with green, mysterious eyes, who only with his eyes sent a angry ox to go with punishment, and laugh, always laughed - thick, when angry; Thin laugh, when happy; and mute laugh, normal.
Major Saul is described as a corpulent man, adorned in boots and spurs, with extraordinary green eyes that seem to convey a range of emotions. His gaze alone is so powerful that it can direct even an angry ox toward punishment. This unique quality makes him a rather imposing figure in the narrative.
His laughter varies significantly by his mood: a deep, thick sound emerges when he is angry, while a lighter, thin laugh signifies happiness, and a quieter laugh is indicative of his normal demeanor. This complexity in his character and expressions adds depth to his personality portrayed in João Guimarães Rosa's "Donkey Pedrês".
