pretencioso
EN One might say, even of this scrawl, not of that actual picture, perhaps, but of what it attempted, that it 'remained for ever', she was going to say, or, for the word spoken sounded even to herself, too boastful, to hint, wordlessly; when, looking at the picture, she was surprised to find that she could not see it.
GL Poderíase dicir, mesmo deste borrancho, quizais non do cadro como tal senón do que tentaba expresar, que «permanecería para sempre»; estaba a piques de dicilo ou, polo menos, de suxerilo sen palabras, porque dito así soáballe, mesmo a ela, pretencioso de máis, cando, ó mirar para o seu cadro, quedou abraiada ó se decatar de que non o podía ver.
