Somos os flagelados do Vento-Leste! O mar transmitiu-nos a sua perseverança. Aprendemos com o vento o bailar na desgraça. As cabras ensinaram-nos a comer pedras para não perecermos. Somos os flagelados do Vento-Leste! Morremos e ressuscitamos todos os anos. Para desespero dos que nos impedem a caminhada. Tem o pr...
