Amor Crioulo

Naquela tarde mormacenta de fevereiro, João da Silveira embarcára em Lisboa, no _Almería_, com róta à America do Sul. Considerava-se um sem-pátria, agora, na sua bôa e amorável terra, sôbre cujo manso e carinhoso seio não fumegavam senão escombros; terra perdida e maldita, pelo jacobinismo vermelho do 5 de Outubro abalada nos seus fundamentos e furtada criminosamente ao seu destino. Todo o ambiente tradicional em que havia sido criado, êste parasitário rebento do vélho regímen vira-o derruir de roda de si com estrondo. - 'On that gloomy afternoon in February, João da Silveira embarked in Lisbon, on the Almería, bound for South America. He now considered himself a stateless person, in his good and loving land, on whose gentle and affectionate bosom nothing but ruins smoked; lost and accursed land, by the red Jacobinism of October 5 shaken in its foundations and criminally stolen from its destiny. The whole traditional environment in which he had been raised, this parasitic offshoot of the old regime, he had seen it tumble down around him with a crash.'

E, arredando brusco a mesa, partiu de abalada, pequenino e torcido sob a aba descomunal do _panamá_, como um chaparro anémico. Desapontado, o Silveira quedou-se uns segundos sentado ainda e imóvel, na sua atitude de irremediável lamecha, o busto abatido, as mãos pendendo tristes entre os joelhos. Depois, tendo enviado um derradeiro olhar de desconfortado apetite sôbre a espalda esquiva da linda argentina inabordável, ergueu-se e partiu tambêm, sacudidamente. Mal tinha dado a volta para estibordo, quando viu que a êle se dirigia o seu afável comensal, Euclides Pereira, ladeado por dois graves e idosos senhores, que deviam ser ingleses, a avaliar pelos cómicos desmanes em que êles buscavam amávelmente contrafazer a sua imperturbável e habitual tesura. O joven brasileiro apresentou:--_The Right Honorable the Earl of Horrowby_--_The Captain John Stayton_. - 'And, abruptly moving the table, he set off briskly, small and twisted under the enormous brim of the panama, like an anemic sapling.

Then, having sent a final glance of uncomfortable appetite at the elusive back of the beautiful unattainable Argentine, he rose and left abruptly. He had barely turned to starboard, when he saw his affable tablemate, Euclides Pereira, flanked by two grave and elderly gentlemen, who must have been English, judging by the comic excesses with which they amiably sought to imitate his imperturbable and habitual stiffness. The young Brazilian presented:--The Right Honorable the Earl of Horrowby--The Captain John Stayton.'
