dew of death
Rogaba a Dios que la centella de la justicia divina fulminara a Fermina Daza cuando se dispusiera a jurar amor y obediencia a un hombre que sólo la quería para esposa como un adorno social, y se extasiaba en la visión de la novia, suya o de nadie, tendida bocarriba sobre las losas de la catedral con los azahares nevados por el rocío de la muerte, y el torrente de espuma del velo sobre los mármoles funerarios de catorce obispos sepultados frente al altar mayor.
He prayed to God that the lightning of divine justice would strike Fermina Daza as she was about to give her vow of love and obedience to a man who wanted her for his wife only as a social adornment, and he went into rapture at the vision of the bride, his bride or no one’s, lying face up on the flagstones of the Cathedral, her orange blossoms laden with the dew of death, and the foaming torrent of her veil covering the funerary marbles of the fourteen bishops who were buried in front of the main altar.
