My new library books:
1: The sun appears in one of the upper corners of the rectangle, on the left of anyone looking at the picture. Representing the sun is a man's head that sends out rays of brilliant light and sinuous flames, like a wavering compass in search of the right direction, and this head has a tearful face, contorted by spasms of pain that refuse to abate. The gaping mouth sends out a cry which we will never hear, for none of these things is real, what we are contemplating is mere paper and ink, and nothing more. (Saramago)

2: When Joana Carda scratched the ground with the elm branch all the dogs of Cebère began to bark, throwing the inhabitants into panic and terror, because from time immemorial it was believed that when these canine creatures began to bark, the entire universe was nearing its end. - Saramago
