“The first time Raffaele ever saw Adelina, it was a stormy-wracked night that changed her life and, indeed, the world. He recalls looking down from the window in his Dalia lodging to see a girl with silver-bright hair, conjuring an illusion of darkness such that he had never seen. He remembers the day she first came to his chambers in Estenzia, when Enzo was still alive and she was still innocent, and the way she looked up at him with her uncertain, damaged gaze. He remembers her test, and what he said to Enzo that night. How long ago that had been. How he had judged her wrongly.”

“Levamos para o casamento uma infinidade de expectativas ro- m芒nticas. As vezes, tamb茅m vis玫es de m铆ticos 锚xtases sexuais. E impomos 脿 nossa vida sexual muitas outras expectativas, muitos outros "devia ser", que o ato quotidiano do amor n茫o consegue realizar. A terra devia tremer. Nossos ossos deviam cantar. Fogos de artif铆cio deviam explodir. O ser consciente 鈥� o eu 鈥� devia ser queimado na pira do amor. Dev铆amos alcan莽ar o para铆so, ou um fac-s铆mile razo谩vel. N贸s nos desapontamos.”
