tireless


- adjective
- incansable, · incansábel

EN There is a patience of the wild --dogged, tireless, persistent as life itself-- that holds motionless for endless hours the spider in its web, the snake in its coils, the panther in its ambuscade; this patience belongs peculiarly to life when it hunts its living food; and it belonged to Buck as he clung to the flank of the herd, retarding its march, irritating the young bulls, worrying the cows with their half-grown calves, and driving the wounded bull mad with helpless rage.
GL Existe unha paciencia animal --obstinada, incansable, persistente coma a mesma vida-- que fai que a araña se manteña inmóbil na súa tea, a pantera na emboscada, a serpe na terra, durante horas e horas; é unha paciencia propia das feras que cazan para comer, e foi a paciencia que mantivo a Buck preto do rebaño de alces, agardando, entorpecendo a súa marcha, perseguindo ós machos máis novos, importunando ás femias con crías, levando ó macho ferido a tolear de desespero.
