adjective
castaño
EN She conjured me to cast off the spell; she described how much more comely grey hairs were than my chestnut locks; she descanted on the reverence and respect due to age --how preferable to the slight regard paid to mere children: could I imagine that the despicable gifts of youth and good looks outweighed disgrace, hatred, and scorn?
GL Chegou a suplicarme que desfixese aquel meigallo. Intentou convencerme de cánto máis fermosas eran as canas cós meus rizos castaños, eloxiaba o respecto e a veneración que inspira a vellez comparados coa escasa consideración que se ten cos mozos. ¿Como puiden imaxinar que o desprezable don da xuventude e a beleza sería máis forte có odio, o desprezo e a vergonza?
