«Ficou só, no meio do passeio. Em vez de atravessar para a margem do rio, naquele local coberta com armazéns e barracões, seguiu uma rua cercada de velhos edifícios e foi dar, algumas ruas mais tarde, ao Terreiro do Paço. Esteve cerca de uma hora sentado no cais, ora a olhar a escuridão das águas, ora a estudar a configuração difusa da praça. Desembocava ali a sua vida, ou aquilo que fora até então. Percebia que algo mais estaria para diante, semelhante ao voo de uma gaivota em tempo de chuva. Diáfano o que pressentia e não via nos contornos da luz porque ou cego ou excessivamente apegado ao real que escolhera como estado de ser. As arcadas trouxeram-lhe a dúvida do tempo. Irrepetíveis os instantes, inatingível o que foi, ou a circularidade de uma ilha, do mostrador de um relógio? Não passavam os ponteiros pelos mesmos números doze em doze horas? Talvez o mundo não fosse mais do que uma ilha no universo imenso de estrelas e pulsares.»
