Translation examples
Se las colgó alrededor del cuello como péndulos de reloj de cuco, dudó acerca de los calcetines y decidió dejárselos puestos.
She hung them around her neck like cuckoo-clock pendulums, debated over her socks, and decided to leave them on as a kind of compromise (as an oog-shield was the thought which actually went through her mind).
O quizás todo eso, esta conciencia de un tiempo roto para siempre en que el pasado va a crecer desmesuradamente, sea prematuro: esperan a Antoine, temblando, tranquilizándose y torturándose mutuamente, mientras la pasión de la esperanza los coge en su torbellino, los rechaza, los deja por muertos insuflándoles vida, un poco de vida que ella toma, echa afuera, a los perros, trae de vuelta servilmente con el destello de un recuerdo, un olvido breve, el reflejo puntual de un péndulo de reloj.
Or perhaps that is all premature, that consciousness of time henceforth shattered, when the past is going to loom immeasurably large; they are awaiting Antoine, trembling, reassuring and torturing one another, the passion of hope drawing them into its vortex, rejecting them, leaving them for dead, yet breathing life back into them, a bit of life to be stolen back again, tossed to the dogs, slavishly retrieved in a flash of a memory, a brief forgetting, the punctual glint of the clock’s pendulum.
