The noise of voices and vehicles woke a beggar sleeping on the steps of the church. The poor devil sat up, saw what it was, then lay down again, but awake, on his stomach, his eyes fixed on the sky. The sky was looking at him too, impassive as he was, but without the beggar's wrinkles, nor the broken shoes, nor the rags, a clear, starry, peaceful, Olympic sky, as it presided over the wedding of Jacob and the suicide of Lucrezia. They looked at each other in a kind of wisdom game, with a certain air of rival and calm majesty, without arrogance or meanness, as if the beggar had said to heaven:
"After all, you won't fall on me."
And the sky:
"Neither will you climb me."
Machado de Assis, “Quincas Borba”.
