Translation examples
He lay for what seemed a very long time and, although the ache in his skull appreciably lessened, the palpitations did not. If he could just regain a normal heartbeat, he might be able to sleep. He was very conscious of his bone-deep weariness and that he had not benefited from that nightmare-filled sleep. He reviewed the appropriate herbs to relieve palpitations: whitethorn, adonis, glovecap, tansy, aconite, and decided on the latter, the old reliable root. His rising from the bed was accompanied by much effort and suppressed moans—suppressed because Capiam did not want apprentice ears to witness masterly weakness.
Lange Zeit rührte er sich nicht. Die Kopfschmerzen ließen merklich nach, aber sein Herz pochte hart, und er fand keinen Schlaf. Dabei spürte er eine Mattigkeit, die bis ins Mark ging; die wenigen Ruhestunden waren von Alpträumen durchzogen gewesen und hatten ihm keine Erholung verschafft. Capiam überlegte, welche Kräuter wohl am ehesten gegen das harte Hämmern seines Herzens halfen - Weißdorn, Adonis, Finger-hut, Tanacetum, Akonit ... Er entschied sich für Akonit, die zuverlässige Wurzel, die so viele Leiden heilte.
