[ There is a Portuguese word, "saudade," that has no direct translation into English. Roughly paraphrased, it means intense longing and nostalgia for someone (or something) that is absent or lost. Break had been indulging in this, remembering the lost pleasure of reading, of looking at pictures, of appreciating the vibrancy of color — or the beauty of a face.
