.....--- chest of drawers
- cómoda

EN Nothing, it seemed, could survive the flood, the profusion of darkness which, creeping in at keyholes and crevices, stole round window blinds, came into bedrooms, swallowed up here a jug and basin, there a bowl of red and yellow dahlias, there the sharp edges and firm bulk of a chest of drawers.
PT Nada, dir-se-ia, seria capaz de sobreviver à enxurrada, à profusão da treva que, insinuando-se pelas fendas e pelas fechaduras, silenciosamente alcançava os quartos, penetrava neles, engolia aqui um jarro e uma bacia, além uma taça de dálias vermelhas e amarelas, acolá a aresta cortante e o vulto firme de uma cómoda.
