- asolagamento

EN Nothing, it seemed, could survive the flood, the profusion of darkness which, creeping in at keyholes and crevices, stole round window blinds, came into bedrooms, swallowed up here a jug and basin, there a bowl of red and yellow dahlias, there the sharp edges and firm bulk of a chest of drawers.
GL Semellaba que nada podería sobrevivir ó asolagamento, á profusión de escuridade que, coándose polos buracos das pechaduras e polas fendas, se escapulía polas persianas, entraba nos dormitorios, engulía aquí unha xerra e unha almofía, alí un floreiro de dalias vermellas e amarelas, máis alá os perfís afiados e o volume mesto dunha cómoda.

- transitive verb
- asolagar

EN And now, though you were to flood all hell with your tears if you could still weep, all that sea of repentance would not gain for you what a single tear of true repentance shed during your mortal life would have gained for you.
GL E agora, aínda que asulagases o inferno inteiro coas túas bágoas, se malia todo foses quen de chorar, semellante mar de arrepentimento non che gañaría o que unha soa bágoa de auténtica contricción, vertida durante a túa vida mortal, tería conseguido.
