Saboreó el polvo fino y picante del lejano desierto, el dulce polen de cien flores silvestres, el hedor dulzón de la manada de búfalos en el valle, el perfume fresco de la charca donde abrevaban y chapoteaban; identificó éstos y otros olores y calculó con precisión la proximidad de cada uno.
He tasted the fine peppery dust of the far deserts, the sweet pollens of a hundred wild plants, the warm bovine stench of the buffalo herd in the valley below, the cool tang of the water pool at which they were drinking and wallowing: these and other scents he identified, and accurately he judged the proximity of the source of each odour. However, these were not the scents for which he was searching.
