A saber qué hora era, la mañana seguro que había pasado pero las nubes de tormenta reducían su mundo a una penumbra gris y preñada de lluvia, que impedía ser más concreto.
Only the gods knew what time of day it was – the morning had to have passed, but with storm clouds reducing their world to a rain-soaked, grey twilight, it was impossible to be more specific.
Y en ocasiones se imponía la penumbra que lo engullía todo, el universo entero se convertía en una única emoción y un único estilo, y yo entendía que disfrutaba de esto y percibía que estaba leyendo el libro para sumirme en esa atmósfera concreta.
And sometimes twilight would pervade and cover everything, the whole universe would become a single emotion and a single style, and I would understand that I enjoyed this and would sense that I was reading the book for this particular atmosphere.
La dimensión desconocida, me explicó Perkus, eran noticias que no caducaban (lo entendí como una reprimenda por haberle llevado el Times del domingo) y que, en aquel caso concreto, decían mucho sobre la verdadera naturaleza del invierno antinatural que estaba soportando la ciudad.
The Twilight Zone, Perkus explained, was news that stayed news (I took this as rebuke of my gift of the Sunday Times), in this case speaking volumes about the true nature of the unnatural winter the city had been enduring.
Ferguson quería explicárselo, pero sabía que la dificultad estribaba en ahondar en los mil matices concretos del largo y nebuloso enfrentamiento que había durado la mayor parte de su vida, así que lo redujo todo a una declaración simple y comprensible:
Ferguson wanted to explain it to her, but he knew how difficult it would be to delve into the thousand nuanced particulars of the long twilight struggle that had lasted the better part of his life, so he boiled it down to one simple and comprehensible statement:
Por lo visto, lograban hacerlo a través de dos células sensibles al color de cada coral, que juntas eran capaces de distinguir la tonalidad azul del cielo que poseía en concreto el crepúsculo la noche después de la primera luna llena tras el equinoccio de primavera.
Apparently they accomplished this by way of two color-sensitive cells in each coral, which together were able to distinguish the particular blue of the twilight sky on the night after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
A photograph by Ara Güler perfectly captures the lonely back streets of my childhood, where concrete apartment buildings stand beside old wooden houses, the streetlamps il uminate nothing, and the chiaroscuro of twilight—the thing that for me de nes the city— has descended.

El avión chocó con estruendo, y no, no salió humo, sino que brotaron burbujas de aire de un paisaje crepuscular, que sólo después, cuando la película llegó a esa secuencia, reconocí como un estanque bajo cuya superficie Tarzán, con un cuchillo entre los dientes, y el niño perdido —convertido ya en muchacho— expulsaban burbujas con largos intervalos y nadaban con lentos movimientos, como en un sueño, mientras que robustecido por la vista el proceso de la memoria en su ruta hacia la imagen concreta recordada se movía ya inmediatamente después de la caída del avión, con anticipación misteriosa, al mismo ritmo con que luego subirían de las profundidades del agua las burbujas de la respiración de los dos nadadores.
It fell with a crash, and no, not smoke but air bubbles rose from a twilight landscape, which later, when that part of the picture came along, I recognized as the pond beneath whose surface Tarzan, with a knife between his teeth, and the orphaned baby, who had grown in the meantime to be a boy, were breathing out air bubbles at long intervals while slowly swimming about as though lost in a dream. Immediately after the plane crash, my memory, which subsequently hardened into a firm image, began, by a mysterious process of anticipation, to move in the rhythm of the air bubbles which, later, released by the two swimmers, rose to the surface of the water.
