GL Un retiro, meus caros rapaces, significa arredármonos por un tempo dos coidados da nosa vida, dos coidados da vida cotiá, para examinarmos o estado da nosa conciencia, para matinarmos nos misterios da sagrada relixión e para comprendermos mellor por que estamos aquí, neste mundo.

EN And, what was even more exciting, she felt, too, as she saw Mr Ramsay bearing down and retreating, and Mrs Ramsay sitting with James in the window and the cloud moving and the tree bending, how life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.
GL E o que era aínda máis abraiante, decatouse cando viu ó señor Ramsay achegándose e logo retrocedendo, á señora Ramsay sentada con James a carón da ventá e a nube esvarando e a árbore inclinada, era o feito de que a vida, de estar composta de pequenos incidentes illados que se viven un por un, pasase a encresparse e mesturarse coma unha onda que nos ergue no seu seo e nos bota cun estalo, alí mesmo, na praia.
