“No, la juventud no era eso, por encima de la piel rosada, de las hormonas y de las cirugías, de las carnes firmes y duras, de la ausencia de surcos en la cara donde el tiempo pone e incuba sus semillas, la juventud era una disposición abierta y sincera para la vida, una facultad de enamorarse de alguien o de algo, un poder de ensoñación que está dentro, un privilegio de amor y de comprensión, un vigor para la amistad y una energía para el acto cotidiano. Sería siempre el eterno problema del espíritu, nunca del cuerpo, y el equilibrio entre el ser y el estar...”

“Дочь дона Клемента, Кристобалина, уже трижды была замужем, и мужчины за глаза называли её «вонючкой». Она занималась целительством. Её приёмный сын, крестник, остался без матери, умершей вскоре после родов от неизвестной болезни, и Кристобалина заботилась о нём, как настоящая мать.
Старик говорил так:
— Дочь моя любому мужчине сто очков вперёд даст. Правда, шатается где попало, но она свободна и может делать что ей вздумается.”

“Cristobalina, ki je bila trikratna vdova in so o njej govorili, da ima poper v kikli, je bila najstarejša hči dona Clementa. Malega Azuleja, kateremu je umrla mati kmalu po porodu zaradi neznane bolezni, je vzgojila kot prava mati.
Starec je govoril o svoji hčerki:
“Cristobalina je čmrlj, leta čez hrib in dol, ampak nazadnje je svobodna ženska in lahko razpolaga s svojim telesom, kakor hoče.”

“Cristobalina, three times a widow, and branded as a “bad risk” and an herb curer, was the oldest child. She had been like a mother to her godson Cangá since the time his mother died of an unknown illness.
Talking about Cristobalina, her old man always used to say:
“My daughter is an Amazon. She run all over the place. But she a free woman, and she can do whatever she wants with her body.”

“Craft, unlike inspiration, is explicable, and hence learnable. Its moments can be slowed down, isolated into discrete choices. One choice after another, one word after another, watching all the moving parts doing their thing, even when you’re working with a tool as maddeningly fiddly as language.”
