Os galhos se procuram e se abraçam no ar, parecem uma única árvore subindo e descendo o morro, a sombra de topázio se sucedendo por centenas e centenas de metros. Tudo nas roças de cacau é em tonalidades amarelas, onde, por vezes, o verde rebenta violento. De um amarelo aloirado são as minúsculas formigas pixixicas que cobrem as folhas dos cacaueiros e destroem a praga que ameaça o fruto. De um amarelo desmaiado se vestem as flores e as folhas novas que o sol pontilha de amarelo queimado. Amarelo são os frutos novos que secaram ao calor demasiado. Os frutos maduros lembram lâmpadas de oiro de catedrais antigas, fulgem com um brilho resplandecente aos raios do sol, que penetram a sombra das roças. Uma cobra amarelas – jma “papa-pinto"-Jorge Amado, São Jorge dos Ilhéus
