Square Dance
João loved Teresa who loved Raimundo
who loved Maria who loved Joaquim who loved Lili
who didn’t love anyone.
João went to the United States, Teresa to a convent,
Raimundo died in an accident, Maria became a spinster,
Joaquim committed suicide, and Lili married J. Pinto Fernandes,
who had nothing to do with the story.
(Carlos Drummond de Andrade translated by
Richard Zenith in “Multitudinous Heart”
