As told by Alfredo de Carvalho
English

An illustrious doctor* from my home town, who was once the finest flower of local Jacobinism*, shouted, so I am told, like a man possessed, hands clasped, eyes turned up to heaven: "There goes the Virgin! There she goes!" And I should not be surprised if the man did see her.

Português

Um ilustre doutor da minha terra, que foi já a mais fina flor do jacobinismo local, dizem-me, que gritava como um possesso, mãos cruzadas, olhos em alvo "Lá vai a Virgem! Lá vai". E não me admiro se o homem a viu.
