Damp Quotes - Page 6

• Aziraphale collected books. If he were totally honest with himself he would have to have admitted that his bookshop was simply somewhere to store them. He was not unusual in this. In order to maintain his cover as a typical second-hand book seller, he used every means short of actual physical violence to prevent customers from making a purchase. Unpleasant damp smells, glowering looks, erratic opening hours - he was incredibly good at it.

• Así pensaba yo, cuando por la noche leía sobre el gran ejército de los muertos, las trincheras frías y húmedas, el campamento hambriento y helado, los heridos del campo de batalla, en lúgubres hospitales de dolor, los pasillos sin alegría, los suelos fríos y pedregosos. En esa casa de miseria, veo a una dama con una lámpara atravesar la penumbra y revolotear de una habitación a otra. Y despacio, como en un sueño de dicha, El mudo enfermo se vuelve para besar Su sombra, mientras cae Sobre las oscuras paredes.

• and in that recurring dream, I found myself trapped in some sort of gigantic game of which I was unfamiliar with the rules; lost in a labyrinthine town of dark and damp, criss-crossing streets, ambiguous characters of uncertain authority having no idea of why I was there nor what I had to do, and where the first sign of the beginning of understanding was the wish to die.

• Querido Ángel Juan, solías guardar mi sueño como una pantera mordiendo mi dolor con el filo de tus dientes. Me llevabas a la oscura selva de los sueños, pasando entre las lianas hambrientas, cruzando el brillante río de escamas de pez. Dejamos atrás mis lágrimas en un charco de plata tintineante. Dejamos mi pena en los huecos fangosos. Cuando desperté estabas a mi lado, húmedo y enmarañado, con los ojos nublados, intentando recordar cómo me aferré a ti, hasta dónde bajamos. ¿Fue demasiado lejos el viaje, Ángel Juan? ¿Fuimos demasiado lejos?

• Cuando llegué a Beirut procedente de Europa, sentí el calor agobiante y húmedo, vi las palmeras descuidadas y olí el café árabe, los puestos de fruta y la carne demasiado condimentada. Era el principio de Oriente. Y cuando volé de vuelta a Beirut desde Irán, podía recoger los periódicos británicos, pedir un gin-tonic en cualquier bar, elegir un restaurante francés, italiano o alemán para cenar. Era el principio de Occidente. Todo para todos, los libaneses rara vez cuestionaban su propia identidad.

• I say, I don’t think the human frame is very thoughtfully constructed for this sleuthhound business. If one could go on all fours, or had eyes in ones knees, it would be a lot more practical’… ‘What luck! Here’s a deep, damp ditch on the other side, which I shall now proceed to fall into.’ A slithering crash proclaimed that he had carried out his intention.

• Startled, he loosed his grasp and she pulled free. He clutched her arm, but she spun around and pressed her mouth to his. His lips were rough, chapped. She felt the sting of fangs against her bottom lip. He made a sharp sound in the back of his throat and closed his eyes. Mouth opening under hers. The smell of him- of cold, damp stone- made her head swim. One kiss slid into another and it was perfect, was exactly right, was real.

• Los enanos no eran una especie religiosa por naturaleza, pero en un mundo en el que los puntales de foso podían resquebrajarse sin previo aviso y los focos de humedad de fuego podían explotar de repente, habían visto la necesidad de dioses como una especie de equivalente sobrenatural de un casco. Además, cuando te golpeas el pulgar con un martillo de dos kilos es bueno poder blasfemar. Se necesita un tipo de ateo muy especial y de mente fuerte para saltar con la mano agarrada bajo la otra axila y gritar: "¡Oh, fluctuaciones aleatorias en el continuo espacio-tiempo!" o "¡Aaargh, concepto primitivo y anticuado en una muleta!

• I returned to the courtyard and saw that the sun had grown weaker. Beautiful and clear as it had been, the morning (as the day approached the completion of its first half) was becoming damp and misty. Heavy clouds moved from the north and were invading the top of the mountain, covering it with a light brume. It seemed to be fog, and perhaps fog was also rising from the ground, but at that altitude it was difficult to distinguish the mists that rose from below and those that come down from above. It was becoming hard to discern the bulk of the more distant buildings.

• I think the meaning of the universe is bound up with the egg. ... I am fed up with the meaning of the universe. Everything starts in the egg and ends in death. I think it's called 'the heartbreak at the heart of things.' But then perhaps our very mortality is an egg and at the moment of death our souls will emerge like damp chicks.
