luar m (plural luares)

  1. moonlight (sunlight reflected by the moon)
    • unknown, Fernando Pessoa, A hora do diabo
      «A música, o luar e os sonhos são as minhas armas mágicas. Mas por música não deve entender-se só aquela que se toca, se não também aquela que fia eternamente por tocar. Por luar, ainda, não se deve supor que se fala só do que vem da lua e faz as árvores grandes perfis; há outro luar, que o mesmo sol não exclui, e obscurece em pleno dia o que as coisas fingem ser. Só os sonhos são sempre o que são. É o lado de nós em que nascemos e em que somos sempre naturais e nossos.»
      "Music, moonlight and dreams are my magic weapons. But music should not only be understood as music that is played, but also music that remains forever unplayed. Moonlight should not be taken to mean only that which comes from the moon and makes the trees look great; there is another moonlight, which the sun itself does not exclude, and which obscures in the middle of the day what things pretend to be. Only dreams are always what they are. It's the side of us where we are born and where we are always natural and our own."
