João Guimarães Rosa Quote

O Mumbungo queria à sua mulher, a Mula-Marmela, e, contudo, incertamente, ela o amedrontava. Do temor que não se sabe. Talvez pressentisse que só ela seria capaz de destruí-lo, de cortar, com um ato de 'não', sua existência doidamente celerada. Talvez adivinhasse que em suas mãos, dela, estivesse já decretado e pronto o seu fim
