Can you see? What beautiful beach! Yes, we're talking about Copacabana, in Rio. Rio of Olympics, of pleasant people, and of eternal Sun. But, Look! A man seated with his back to the sea. Does he not like the beach? Does he not like to see what is wonderful? It's an absurd! Who does he think he is? Calm down. He is just one of the most marvelous poet from Brazil. He's Drummond. He is shy and loves to write. He was expelled from school for mental insubordination , whatever that is. At one time, he translated musics of Beatles to Portuguese. Still, his face appeared on the Brazilian currency note for some years. He loved spending hazing on the phone, pretending to be someone else. But he loved the beach and the sea. He is not with the back to the sea, he is with the face to the people. The same people which read everything he wrote. Not once or twice, but many times. Sometimes it is not easy to see, but yes, there are people there. Everyone can see the beach and the sea, but only a few can actually see people. Drummond saw.
