Translation examples
The foreship hit not rock but a bottom of thick mud which grasped it fast.
La proa no tocó los escollos, sino un fondo muy cenagoso en que rápidamente zabordó.
Those who could not swim and thought they were drowning were borne with rough care loving and vicious to the beach, offered couches from which, panting, they could watch the spine and entrails of their ship torn by the sea's teeth and go into the green maw, while the foreship burrowed deeper and deeper into deep clay. All were saved.
Los que no sabían nadar y creían hundirse, fueron llevados con áspero cuidado amoroso —y depravado— hasta la playa, donde pudieron tenderse, acezantes, a mirar cómo los colmillos del mar desgarraban el espinazo y las entrañas del barco, antes de pasarlas a aquel buche verde, mientras la proa se iba hundiendo cada vez más en la profunda arcilla. Todos fueron salvos.
