« (…) He threw a poor old chair at the table where he bitterly fell – and then began to destroy the letters and papers in a strange way, which astonished me. He folded each sheet in half, painstakingly: then, violently and accurately, he still folded it in fourth; then with somber attention, he still doubled it in eighth. Under his ragged nail he flattened the folds - and, wielding a knife like an iron of vengeance and death, he cut the papers thinly making two scraps of small well-scattered packs, which he heaped in a clear soft ream. And all this slow, patient work of precision and symmetry, continued with a tragic and unruly mood. Fascinated, I came out of the window where I had taken refuge, and stopped at the edge of the table:

- Oh, Antero, how much command you have in destruction!

He gave me two devouring glances. Then he considered, still wrinkled, the sharp pile of the cut papers, and a smile, that smile of Antero that was like a sunlight, brightened, which made all clear and rosy his good face where there was je ne sais quoi of philosopher of Alexandria and pilot of the Baltic:

- The rhythm - he murmured – is necessary even in delirium.

Eça de Queiroz in "Anthero: a genius who was a saint", 1896
