“Nothing will remain of our hearts. Nor of the stone ceilings that witnessed us. To grow pale.” - Complete Poems, Roberto Bolaño (Quetzal)

Literal translation of the Portuguese phrase 'Chega de Aventura', meaning 'no more adventure' or 'enough of adventure'—used to indicate it's time to stop taking risks or to end adventurous activity.

Between the clear‑eyed melancholy of loss and the absurdity of life that goes on, the poet and translator Daniel Jonas remains an ironist, challenging the Portuguese language to go further and to laugh at itself.
