Es como si Grass hubiera cogido el diccionario alemán por el gaznate y hubiera deseado despojarlo de la falsedad e hipocresía de las viejas palabras, limpiarlo con carcajadas y absurdos a fin de hacerlo nuevo.

Había perdido de nuevo toda señal de inteligencia, y solo el ansia animal de vivir lo obligaba a repetir vueltas y vueltas, cayendo aquí y levantándose allá, y hasta se puso a veces en pie para alzar por completo el peso y librarse de una vez de las terribles garras de la muerte. Al fin cayó tendido de espaldas, extenuado, y el dogo aprovechó la ocasión para aflojar los dientes y clavarlos mejor, ensanchando la herida y apretándole más el gaznate para ahogarlo.

Round and round and back again, stumbling and falling and rising, even uprearing at times on his hind-legs and lifting his foe clear of the earth, he struggled vainly to shake off the clinging death. At last he fell, toppling backward, exhausted; and the bull-dog promptly shifted his grip, getting in closer, mangling more and more of the fur- folded flesh, throttling White Fang more severely than ever.
