About the Book

Algum tempo hesitei se devia abrir estas memorias pelo principio ou pelo fim, isto é, se poria em primeiro logar o meu nascimento ou a minha morte. Supposto o uso vulgar seja começar pelo nascimento, duas considerações me levaram a adoptar differente methodo: a primeira é que eu não sou propriamente um autor defunto, mas um defunto autor, para quem a campa foi outro berço; a segunda é que o escripto ficaria assim mais galante e mais novo. Moysés, que tambem contou a sua morte, não a poz no introito, mas no cabo: differença radical entre este livro e o Pentateuco.

Dito isto, expirei ás duas horas da tarde de uma sexta feira do mez de agosto de 1869, na minha bella chacara de Catumby. Tinha uns sessenta e quatro annos, rijos e prosperos, era solteiro, possuia cerca de tresentos contos e fui acompanhado ao cemiterio por onze amigos. Onze amigos! Verdade é que não houve cartas nem annuncios. Accresce que chovia-peneirava-uma chuvinha miuda, triste e constante, tão constante e tão triste, que levou um daquelles fieis da ultima hora a intercalar esta engenhosa idéa no discurso que proferiu á beira de minha cova: -Vós, que o conhecestes, meus senhores, vós podeis dizer commigo que a natureza parece estar chorando a perda irreparavel de um dos mais bellos caracteres que tem honrado a humanidade. Este ar sombrio, estas gotas do ceu, aquellas nuvens escuras que cobrem o azul como um crepe funereo, tudo isso é a dor crua e má que lhe róe á natureza as mais intimas entranhas; tudo isso é um sublime louvor ao nosso illustre finado.

Bom e fiel amigo! Não, não me arrependo das vinte apolices que lhe deixei. E foi assim que cheguei á clausula dos meus dias; foi assim que me encaminhei para o undiscovered country de Hamlet, sem as ancias nem as duvidas do moço principe, mas pausado e tropego, como quem se retira tarde do expectaculo. Tarde e aborrecido. Viram-me ir umas nove ou dez pessoas, entre ellas tres senhoras, -minha irmã Sabina, casada com o Cotrim, -a filha, um lyrio do valle, -e... Tenham paciencia! daqui a pouco lhes direi quem era a terceira senhora. Contentem-se de saber que essa anonyma, ainda que não parenta, padeceu mais do que as parentas. É verdade, padeceu mais. Não digo que se carpisse, não digo que se deixasse rolar pelo chão, epileptica. Nem o meu obito era cousa altamente dramatica... Um solteirão que expira aos sessenta e quatro annos, não parece que reuna em si todos os elementos de uma tragedia. E dado que sim, o que menos convinha a essa anonyma era apparental-o. De pé, á cabeceira da cama, com os olhos estúpidos, a boca entreaberta, a triste senhora mal podia crêr na minha extincção.

- Taken from "Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas" written by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
