superb


- adjective

EN She must get that right and that right, she thought, insensibly, approving of the dignity of the trees' stillness, and now again of the superb upward rise (like the beak of a ship up a wave) of the elm branches as the wind raised them.
PT Teria de arranjar isto e aquilo, pensava ela, insensivelmente aprovando a dignidade da quietude das árvores, e de novo aprovando a soberba ascensão (como que a proa de um navio numa onda) dos ramos do ulmeiro, à medida que o vento se levantava.
