Translation examples
Tenía esa impresión que se experimentaba cuando se quiere examinar un ópalo: vese a cada movimiento cambiar el color y nacer nuevos reflejos, pero no se consigue ver el ópalo mismo. Era como un hombre que quiere acomodar el centro de un aparato óptico a su campo visual y no da con el punto preciso.
He saw so much, and yet somehow it was all out of focus. It was like looking at an opal, and discovering with every movement of it some new colour, some new gleam of light reflected, and yet never really seeing the opal as a whole.
