invoke
transitive verb
invocar
EN It hadn't taken them many minutes, after all, to put down on the table, like the cards of a pack, those that constituted their respective hands; only what came out was that the pack was unfortunately not perfect --that the past, invoked, invited, encouraged, could give them, naturally, no more than it had.
GL Non lles levara moito tempo, despois de todo, pór enriba da mesa, coma as cartas dunha baralla, aquelas que constituían as súas respectivas bazas; pero o que descubriran fora que a baralla, desgraciadamente, non estaba completa; que o pasado, invitado, invocado, alentado, non podía, naturalmente, darlles máis do que lles dera.
