A partir da obra literária “Mau tempo no Canal” de Vitorino Nemésio (1901-1978).
O amor não queria confissões explicadas no vão de uma janela, nem alegorias literárias de um querer-bem concebido como matéria de um mito, ligado à rocha das ilhas e às noites de mau tempo no Canal. Assim perdera o segredo daquela ocasião de uma valsa (…). Foi trabalhando nele um pensamento preciso, numa substância dura como se não fosse uma frase: “O amor de um mito é puro mito”. in Mau Tempo no Canal
From the literary work Stormy Isles: an Azorean tale - Vitorino Nemesio.
Love did not want explained confessions at the span of some window, nor literary allegories of a wishing well conceived as the matter of a myth, linked to the rocks of the islands and to the nights of ill weather at the Channel. Thus had been lost the secret of that one chance for a waltz (…). A precise thought then became building within him, into a hard substance, as if it was not a sentence at all: “A myth’s love is pure myth”.
