Translation examples
It was invested with the woe of unnumbered generations, this plaint by which Buck was so strangely stirred. When he moaned and sobbed, it was with the pain of living that was of old the pain of his wild fathers, and the fear and mystery of the cold and dark that was to them fear and mystery. And that he should be stirred by it marked the completeness with which he harked back through the ages of fire and roof to the raw beginnings of life in the howling ages.
Aus der Kehle Bucks schrie der Geist seiner Vorfahren, und der traurige Gesang war erfüllt von dem Weh unzähliger Generationen. Wenn er stöhnte und klagte, so war es die ewige Klage der leidenden Kreatur, jene Klage, in die schon seine wilden Väter ausgebrochen waren; und seine Angst vor dem schrecklichen Geheimnis der Kälte und der Finsternis war schon ihre Angst gewesen.
