noun
percha
EN And she waited a little, knitting, wondering, and slowly those words they had said at dinner, 'the China rose is all abloom and buzzing with the honey bee', began washing from side to side of her mind rhythmically, and as they washed, words, like little shaded lights, one red, one blue, one yellow, lit up in the dark of her mind, and seemed leaving their perches up there to fly across and across, or to cry out and to be echoed; so she turned and felt on the table beside her for a book.
GL Agardou un pouco, calcetando, cavilando, e lentamente aquelas palabras que dixeran na cea, «a rosa chinesa florece e coa abella de mel adormece», comezaron a abanearse ritmicamente dun lado a outro da súa mente, e mentres se abaneaban, as palabras, coma pequenas luces amortecidas, unha vermella, outra azul, outra amarela, alumeaban na escuridade da mente, e semellaban abandona-las súas perchas para saír voando en tódalas direccións, ou para berrar e vir devoltas polo eco; de xeito que se virou e procurou ás apalpadas un libro na mesa que tiña ó lado.
