    Marfiza já não podia ver azul nenhum. Nem rosa, roxo, fúcsia. Nem laranja, vermelho, âmbar, dourado. Nem esmeralda, esverdeado, ciano, jade, cáqui.

    If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colours suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the colours become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire.
