Amo com um amor mais forte e mais profundo
Aquela praia extasiada e nua
Onde me uni ao mar, ao vento e à lua." MAR, poesia de Sophia de Mello Breyner

Love with a stronger and deeper Love
That rapt and naked beach
Where I joined the sea, the wind and the moon." SEA, poetry Sophia de Mello Breyner )
