Pale Quotes - Page 9

• Hay casas en ciertas ciudades de provincia cuyo aspecto inspira melancolía, parecida a la que suscitan los claustros sombríos, los páramos lóbregos o la desolación de las ruinas. Dentro de estas casas hay, tal vez, el silencio del claustro, la esterilidad de los páramos, el esqueleto de las ruinas; la vida y el movimiento están allí tan estancados que un extraño podría pensar que están deshabitadas, si no fuera porque de pronto se encuentra con la mirada pálida y fría de una persona inmóvil, cuyo rostro medio monacal se asoma más allá del marco de la ventana al oír un paso desacostumbrado.

• There was only - spring itself, the throb of it, the light restlessness, the vital essence of it everywhere; in the sky, in the swift clouds, in the pale sunshine, and in the warm high wind - rising suddenly, sinking suddenly, impulsive ... If I had been tossed down blindfold on that red prairie, I should have known that it was spring.

• Hay algunos momentos en la vida que son como pivotes en torno a los cuales gira tu existencia: pequeños destellos intuitivos, cuando sabes que has hecho algo correcto para variar, cuando crees que vas por el buen camino. Observé cómo un pálido amanecer teñía de Day-glo los acantilados y me di cuenta de que éste era uno de ellos. Fue un momento de pura confianza, sin complicaciones, y duró unos diez segundos.

• Pálido en sus arcos desvanecidos está el verano,
  como una nueva Niobe con las manos entrelazadas,
  Silenciosa sobre las flores, sus hijos perdidos,
  Muertos por las flechas de la temprana escarcha.

• Tris," Tobias says, crouching next to me. His face is pale, almost yellow. There is too much I want to say. The first thing that comes out is, "Beatrice." He laughs weakly. "Beatrice," he amends, and touches his lips to mine. I curl my fingers into his shirt.

• People that spend time in a foxhole - they're never going to find that relationship anywhere else again... Everything else pales next to that. When you think about the Second World War vets - more than even the Vietnam vets - there's a brotherhood.

• No me importa estar pálida. En el instituto, parecía que todo el mundo se preocupaba por estar bronceado todo el año, pero desde entonces no he vuelto a pensar en ello. No voy a ninguna cama bronceadora, y me aburro cuando me tumbo. Me pongo protector solar cuando estoy al sol, y a veces me pongo morena, pero no pienso mucho en ello.

• When you a darker brunette and have pale skin like I do, it can wash you out a bit, so learning to contour is really helpful. I think you can be a bit more bold with eye makeup to define your eyes, and the same with lip colors - you can go for dark wine colors, which I love.

• Well, I’ve had my fun; I’ve had it, he thought, looking up at the swinging baskets of pale geraniums. And it was smashed to atoms—his fun, for it was half made up, as he knew very well; invented, this escapade with the girl; made up, as one makes up the better part of life, he thought—making onself up; making her up; creating an exquisite amusement, and something more. But odd it was, and quite true; all this one could never share—it smashed to atoms.

• When I saw him look at me with lust, I dropped my eyes but, in glancing away from him, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. And I saw myself, suddenly, as he saw me, my pale face, the way the muscles in my neck stuck out like thin wire. I saw how much that cruel necklace became me. And, for the first time in my innocent and confined life, I sensed in myself a potentiality for corruption that took my breath away.

• American coffee can be a pale solution served at a temperature of 100 degrees centigrade in plastic thermos cups, usually obligatory in railroad stations for purposes of genocide, whereas coffee made with an American percolator, such as you find in private houses or in humble luncheonettes, served with eggs and bacon, is delicious, fragrant, goes down like pure spring water, and afterwards causes severe palpitations, because one cup contains more caffeine than four espressos.

• We are not going to die." Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. "We're not?" No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. "Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. "And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.

• X. I saw pale kings and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried—“La Belle Dame sans Merci Hath thee in thrall!” XI. I saw their starved lips in the gloam, With horrid warning gaped wide, And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill’s side. XII. And this is why I sojourn here, Alone and palely loitering, Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake, And no birds sing.

• ...solitary like a pool at evening, far distant, seen from a train window, vanishing so quickly that the pool, pale in the evening, is scarcely robbed of its solitude, though once seen. *** Here sitting on the world, she thought, for she could not shake herself free from the sense that everything this morning was happening for the first time, perhaps for the last time, as a traveller, even though he is half asleep, knows, looking out of the train window, that he must look now, for he will never see that town, or that mule-cart, or that woman at work in the fields, again.

• El aire frío se eleva desde el suelo a medida que el sol se pone. La claridad de la luz, que quema los ojos, se intensifica. El borde meridional del cielo resplandece a un azul más profundo, a un violeta pálido, a un púrpura, y luego se adelgaza hasta volverse gris. Lentamente el viento cae, y el aire quieto empieza a helarse. La sólida cresta oriental es negra; tiene una floración como el polvo de la piel de una uva.El oeste se ilumina brevemente. El largo y frío ámbar del resplandor posterior proyecta claras sombras lunares negras. Hay un misterio animal en la luz que se posa sobre los campos como un músculo congelado que se flexionará y despertará al amanecer.
