optimista

EN His arm was almost like a young man's arm, Mrs Ramsay thought, thin and hard, and she thought with delight how strong he still was, though he was over sixty, and how untamed and optimistic, and how strange it was that being convinced, as he was, of all sorts of horrors, seemed not to depress him, but to cheer him.
PT O braço dele era quase o de um jovem, pensava Mrs Ramsay, magro e ossudo, e pensava com prazer em como era ainda forte, embora tivesse dobrado os sessenta, e em como era irreverente e optimista, e em como era estranho que, achando-se convencido, como se achava, de toda a casta de horrores, tal não parecesse deprimi-lo mas alegrá-lo.
