Dicen que las camelias traen mala suerte porque las flores se caen enteras del tallo, como cabezas cortadas;
Camellias are said to be bad luck because the flowers drop whole from the stem, like severed heads.
El arma, reforzada y blindada con campos, era propulsada por artefactos muy parecidos a mis lampreas: estaban aferrados al tallo como espinas y contaban con unidades de madeja.
The field-reinforced, field-armoured weapon was being propelled by tugs much like my own lampreys: they were clamped onto the stem like thorns and had sharp skein-drive signatures.
él la obligaría a contemplar las negras notas redondas sobre sus tallos, como oscuras cigüeñas graznando, el criptograma de manchas y filamentos descifrables únicamente a través del sonido, ¡y ella, que se había burlado de su impotencia, no oiría nada, no sería capaz de oír!
Her punishment was the blindness of her seeing — the blind clarity of her seeing: she would be made to look on those round black notes standing on their stems like black storks shrieking — a cryptogram of blots and filaments decipherable only by sound, and she — she who had mocked him for his impotence — would not, could not, hear!
Trajeron unas dalias con las hojas caídas de los tallos como si fueran enaguas, unos cordones de cardenal más oscuros y más robustos, del color de una puesta de sol una tarde de tormenta, y una caja de puros llena de higos tardíos, todos apretujados, casi magullándose unos a los otros, aún prendidos a la hoja de la higuera, purpúreos y pesados como sacos, con unas burbujitas rosas que afloraban a la superficie y una avispa embriagada que había hecho con ellos todo el viaje desde Peerless.
They brought dahlias with scalded leaves hanging down their stems like petticoats, darker and heavier prince’s-feathers that looked like a stormy sunset, and a cigar box full of late figs, laid closely, almost bruising each other, in the leaves and purple and heavy as turned-over sacks, with pink bubbles rising to the top and a drunk wasp that had come with them from Peerless.
