Translation examples

backstitch noun

Casi siempre la adquisición del objeto se debía a que ya frente a la vitrina, cuando comenzaban a distinguirse algunos pespuntes coloreados, en el momento en que su mirada lo distinguía y lo aislaba del resto de los objetos, lo adelantaba como una pieza de ajedrez que penetra en un mundo que logra en un instante recomponer todos sus cristales.
His acquisition of an object was due, almost always, to the nascent discernment, before a shop window, of some brightly colored backstitching; the moment his look distinguished it and isolated it from the rest of the objects, he moved it forward like a chess piece that penetrates a world that in an instant succeeds in recomposing all its crystals.
