hirto

crispado

EN The house was all lit up, and the lights after the darkness made his eyes feel full, and he said to himself, childishly, as he walked up the drive, Lights, lights, lights, and repeated in a dazed way, Lights, lights, lights, as they came into the house, staring about him with his face quite stiff.
PT Estava a casa toda iluminada, e eis que, após a escuridão, as luzes enchiam os olhos de Paul, e de si para si dizia, infantilmente, caminhando pela calçada - Luzes, luzes, luzes -, e um pouco estonteado repetia - Luzes, luzes, luzes, quando chegaram a casa, olhando em toda a volta, de rosto crispado.
