NAME:
Simão Botelho loved. Here's a single word, explaining what seemed like an absurd seventeen-year-old reform.
Simon loved one of his neighbors, a fifteen-year-old girl, a rich heiress, regularly beautiful and well-born. It was from her bedroom window that he had seen her the first time, to love her always. She was not unaffected by the wound she had made in her neighbor's heart: she loved him too, and with more seriousness than usual in her years.
Poets tire our patience to speak of the love of a woman at fifteen, as a dangerous passion, unique and unyielding. Some novelists say the same. Both are wrong. Fifteen-year-old love is a joke; it is the ultimate manifestation of love for dolls; it is the attempt of the little bird that rehearses its flight outside the nest, always with its eyes fixed on the mother bird, which is calling her from the nearby frond; The first knows what it is to love a lot, as well as the second what it is to fly away.
Teresa de Albuquerque was perhaps an exception in her love.
Camilo Castelo Branco, “Amor de Perdição”.
