As told by Maria Benedita Oriol Pena
English

The extraordinary colours that the sun displayed were seen by many people (one of them my Aunt Camilla), but those I cannot describe, because when I saw it in that astounding agitation I felt so great an impression that I fell on my knees and could not see anything more.

Português (original)

As cores extraordinarias que o sol apresentou muitas pessoas as viram (sendo uma d'ellas a minha Tia Camilla) mas eu essas não as posso descrever porque quando o vi n'aquella agitação espantosa, senti uma impressão tão grande que cahi de joelhos e não pode ver mais nada.
