doff


- transitive verb
- desprenderse de

EN So that if it was her beauty merely that one thought of, one must remember the quivering thing, the living thing (they were carrying bricks up a little plank as he watched them), and work it into the picture; or if one thought of her simply as a woman, one must endow her with some freak of idiosyncrasy; or suppose some latent desire to doff her royalty of form as if her beauty bored her and all that men say of beauty, and she wanted only to be like other people, insignificant.
GL De xeito que, se un só pensaba na súa beleza, debía lembrar aquel trazo efémero, vital (estaban a carrexar ladrillos por unha pequena táboa mentres miraba para eles), e integralo no retrato; ou se un pensaba nela simplemente como nunha muller, había que dotala dalgunha peculiaridade estraña; ou imaxinar algún desexo agochado de desprenderse da maxestosidade da súa presencia, coma se a súa beleza a amolase, así como todo o que os homes din da fermosura, e só quixese ser coma o resto da xente, insignificante.
