Translation examples
Los saltimbanquis lo asaltan, le toman del cuello, los brazos, los píes, las ingles: Franz sólo puede clavar la mirada en la plaza con esas zonas de luz y de sombra que en nada afectan la pareja sordidez de los festejantes, indiferentes a una y otra, indiferentes a esa tierra seca, de ramas muertas y vasijas rotas, cáscaras de huevo, barajas viejas, huesos chupados, ostras grises y piedras que ruedan por el espado ocre mientras los saltimbanquis, entre las risas y obscenidades de los dos reyes. Momo y Cristo, y de su corte de enanos y mendigos, baldados y menestreles, monjas y mercaderes, arrastran a Franz al centro del cuadro, al pozo cuya cubeta inspecciona una vieja, una vieja que empuja a Franz cuando lo acercan a esa caída, a esa salida del combate de la carne por donde cae fuera del cuadro, mientras allá arriba, en el rectángulo de un cielo que no dejan ver las cabezas asomadas a mirar el descenso, se cierra el telón pintado, el infanticidio con los perros y los cuchillos y los guardias con armadura que degüellan a los niños sobre la nieve, en medio de los árboles truncos, los troncos fulminados, blancos, cubiertos de nieve y una orquesta toca valses vieneses… La trompeta, esparciendo un sonido maravilloso entre las tumbas de todas las regiones, reunirá a todos ante el trono.
Then the crawling figures attacked him, grabbed him by the neck, the arms, the thighs, the feet. Franz could only stare down at the square with its patches of light and shadow and its sordid merrymaking, the dry earth of dead branches and empty cartons, eggshells, old placards, bones sucked hollow, gray oyster shells, stones that rolled in circles while to the laughter and obscenities of the two kings, Momus and Christ, his attackers wrestled with him and dragged him down among the dwarfs and beggars, the cripples and minstrels, the nuns and the venders, to the center of the square, to the deep well where a spectacled old man in the garb of a priest, after inspecting the bucket, pushed him off the cliff and he fell away from them lying on his back and looking up at the rectangle of sky blocked by the shaven heads of those looking down at his fall. Then the painted curtain was drawn. A scene of infanticides, dogs and knives and guards in armor who slaughtered children and pursued them across a snowy field toward stumps of trees that were also white, covered with ice, while an orchestra played Viennese waltzes, the trumpet sounding clear and loud over the dead of all lands, gathering them all before the throne of judgment.
