semanal

EN The essay was for him the chief labour of his week and every Tuesday, as he marched from home to the school, he read his fate in the incidents of the way, pitting himself against some figure ahead of him and quickening his pace to outstrip it before a certain goal was reached or planting his steps scrupulously in the spaces of the patchwork of the pathway and telling himself that he would be first and not first in the weekly essay.
PT O exercício de literatura era para ele o labor máximo da semana, e todas as terças-feiras, no trajecto de casa para a escola, lia o seu fado nos acidentes do caminho, fixava-se em qualquer figura surgida diante dele e apressava o passo para a ultrapassar antes de ter alcançado um determinado ponto; ou então empenhava-se em colocar os pés nos interstícios das lajes do passeio, na dúvida íntima de vir a ser, ou não, o primeiro no exercício semanal.
