GL Pareceume que vía unha figura fantasmal e borrosa sentada nunha masa vibrante de cor negra e bronce durante un intre... unha figura tan transparente, que podía ver con claridade o banco coas súas follas de esbozos tras da máquina, pero este fantasma esvaeceu en canto freguei os ollos.

borrar

noun
fricción
EN He clean forgot all the little rubs and digs of the evening, and how it bored him unutterably to sit still while people ate and drank interminably, and his being so irritable with his wife and so touchy and minding when they passed his books over as if they didn't exist at all.
GL Esqueceu totalmente as friccións e chufas do serán, e o esaxeradamente aburrido que fora sentar quedo mentres a xente comía e bebía sen parar, e o feito de que estivera tan irritable coa súa muller e tan susceptible e afectado cando pasaran por alto os seus libros, coma se non existisen.
