the long version

"Cassas celebrates and criticizes his hometown São Luís, the old Brazilian Athens, in the same way as London was celebrated by Eliot, Dublin by Joyce, and Rio de Janeiro by Lima Barreto. Thus this is 'uma ópera de escárnio e maldizer,' as the poet deplores the abandonment of and indifference to the previously beautiful capital founded by French Huguenots and cradle of poets Gonçalves Dias and Ferreira Gullar. His verse summarizes the cycles of this city"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
