The other day I went to São Paulo and decided to return at night, a night of south wind and rain, both there and here. When I was coming home by taxi, I met a friend and brought him to Copacabana; and I told him that up there, beyond the clouds, was a beautiful moonlight, with a full moon; and that the ugly clouds that covered the city were, seen from above, moonlit, dream mattresses, white. An unreal landscape.
After my friend got out of the car, the driver took advantage of a closed signal to turn to me:
− You will excuse me, I was here listening to his conversation. But is there really moonlight up there?
I confirmed: yes, above our black and muddy and clumsy night there was another one – pure, perfect and beautiful.
− But, what a thing...
He even poked his head out of the car to stare at the rain-filled sky. Then continued driving more slowly. I don't know if I dreamed of being an aviator or thought of something else.
− Well, yes sir...
And when I got off and paid the fare, he said a “good night” and a “thank you so much” so sincere, so vehement, as if I had given him a king's gift.
