By the River
Piedra I sat Down and Wept (Portuguese: Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e
chorei) is one of Paulo Coelho's most prominent titles.[1] This is the first
part in Coelho's trilogy "On the Seventh Day".[2] The other two parts
are Veronika Decides to Die and The Devil and Miss Prym. This trilogy is a week
in the life of someone ordinary to whom something extraordinary happens.
The novel
takes its title from the incipit of the famous Psalm 137: By the Rivers of
Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion (KJV).
