mark
 noun
 marca
EN Almost as white as wax, with the marks and signs in her face as numerous and as fine as if they had been etched by a needle, with soft white draperies relieved by a faded green scarf on the delicate tone of which the years had further refined, she was the picture of a serene and exquisite but impenetrable sphinx, whose head, or indeed all whose person, might have been powdered with silver.
GL Case tan branca coma a cera, coas marcas e e as liñas na cara tan finas e numerosas coma se fosen gravadas cunha agulla, coa suave e branca vestimenta atenuada por un descolorido pano verde, dun delicado ton que se consagrara cos anos, era a imaxe dunha esfinxe serena, exquisita, pero impenetrable, coa cabeza, ou mesmo con todo o corpo, empoeirado de prata.
