Trunks Quotes - Page 2

• I'm sorry I never really believed," I said. "Not the way Jack did." "It doesn't make any difference," my mother replied. Her eyes focused on the beanstalk for a moment, then returned to mine. "You believe now. Be safe and smart up there, my Gen. Be yourself." Before I could answer, my mother turned away and walked quickly toward the house. I turned to face the beanstalk. There is no going back now, I thought. For better or worse, there was only going forward. There was only going up. Seizing the trunk of the beanstalk with both hands, I pushed off from the World Below and began to climb.

• Este único palo, que ahora contemplas yaciendo sin gloria en ese rincón descuidado, lo conocí una vez en un bosque en un estado floreciente: Estaba lleno de savia, lleno de hojas y lleno de ramas: Pero ahora, en vano el ocupado arte del hombre pretende competir con la naturaleza, atando ese marchito manojo de ramas a su tronco sin savia: En el mejor de los casos, no es más que el reverso de lo que fue: un árbol al revés, con las ramas en la tierra y la raíz en el aire.

With its sinuous trunk it struck the huge corpse; then it reached up, broke some leafy branches with a snap, and draped them over the mass of torn thick flesh. Finally it tilted its massive head, raised its trunk, and roared into the empty landscape.
