   • (1986), Luís Caparrós Esperante, O Tempo como Castigo na Lírica de Rosalía in Actas do Congresso Internacional de estudios sobre Rosalía de Castro e o seu tempo, Consello da Cultura Galega, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, page 158:

     A morriña de Galicia confúndese coa morriña do pasado; a morriña do emigrante aseméllase á morriña polos bos tempos idos.

     The longing for Galicia is confused with the longing for the past; the emigrant’s longing is similar to the longing for good times gone by.
