EN Through his fear of dark and the devils that haunt the night, there came a rush of exhilaration; some animal thing was moving in him so that he was cautious and wary and dangerous; some ancient thing out of the past of his people was alive in him.
PT Por entre o medo da escuridão e dos demónios que assombravam a noite, sentiu uma onda de exaltação; algo animal se movia dentro dele, de modo que se tornara cauteloso e prudente e perigoso; renascia nele o instinto ancestral do seu povo.
