El ojo perdido y las cicatrices que cruzaban su hocico podían dar fe de la calidad de esta experiencia.
Then he lay down full length on the floor, as he had on other occasions, with his forearm cushioning his head: I came to think this was his way of avoiding looking directly at me, of keeping his lost eye trained on the ceiling, or on the highest shelf in the library, or on the painting by Casanova’s brother, a way of saying things without really saying them, of seeming to be talking to himself or of allowing me to pluck his words – his indications, digressions, confidences, his mildly spoken orders – out of the air and not directly from his one eye or from his lips.
Luego se echó en el suelo con naturalidad cuan largo era, como en otras ocasiones, sirviéndole un antebrazo de almohada para la nuca: llegué a pensar que era una forma de evitar mirarme de frente, de mantener el ojo perdido en las alturas, en el techo, en la parte más elevada de la biblioteca, en el cuadro de Casanova el hermano, una forma de decir las cosas sin decirlas del todo, de aparentar hablar solo o de dejar que sus frases —sus indicaciones, sus digresiones, sus confidencias, sus suaves órdenes— las recogiera yo del aire, no de su pupila y sus labios directamente.
