How many words does it take to recount an entire country discovering a whole new world? Camões writes each and every one of them. There are 10 cantos, 1102 stanzas, and 8816 verses that make up The Lusiads, published in 1572, narrating the great epic called Portugal. We still need to count the words — unique pieces of a jewel called the Portuguese Language — that go from "The arms..." to the fateful and final "envy." Because words are not counted. They count us.
