| Notes | This poem's opening verse makes reference to Jewish people fleeing to Trás-os-Montes during the Spanish Inqusition for safety. The speaker of the poem describes the climate of this area as being 'nine months of winter, three months of hell'. Raging forest fires are also described, burning for an entire month during the summer, causing ash to fall from the sky like snow. |
