In quel tempo, no. No che io mi ricordi. Ma fu in quel luogo, in quel tempo, che il mio destino fu suggellato. È possibile che ci sia un punto definito, da cui uno non può più tornare indietro? Traversia della mia vita. Guaravacan – vossignoria veda, vossignoria scriva. Le grandi cose, prima che accadano. Adesso, il mondo vuol restare senza sertao. {…} Quel luogo, l'aria. {…} Il vento è verde. Lì, nell'intervallo, uno prende il silenzio e se lo mette sulle ginocchia. Io sono di dove nacqui. Sono di altri luoghi. Ma, là, a Guaravacan, io stavo bene.
