Detail from “Saudade” (1899). José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior (Brazilian 1850 -1899)
Saudade: a Portuguese and Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.
