CHAPTER 16 - Dr. Seward's Diary, part 11

True that there were there, as we had seen them in life, the traces of care and pain and waste.

But these were all dear to us, for they marked her truth to what we knew. One and all we felt that the holy calm that lay like sunshine over the wasted face and form was only an earthly token and symbol of the calm that was to reign for ever. Van Helsing came and laid his hand on Arthur's shoulder, and said to him, "And now, Arthur my friend, dear lad, am I not forgiven?

The reaction of the terrible strain came as he took the old man's hand in his, and raising it to his lips, pressed it, and said, "Forgiven!

God bless you that you have given my dear one her soul again, and me peace. " He put his hands on the Professor's shoulder, and laying his head on his breast, cried for a while silently, whilst we stood unmoving. When he raised his head Van Helsing said to him, "And now, my child, you may kiss her.

Kiss her dead lips if you will, as she would have you to, if for her to choose. For she is not a grinning devil now, not any more a foul Thing for all eternity. No longer she is the devil's UnDead. She is God's true dead, whose soul is with Him! Arthur bent and kissed her, and then we sent him and Quincey out of the tomb.

The Professor and I sawed the top off the stake, leaving the point of it in the body. Then we cut off the head and filled the mouth with garlic. We soldered up the leaden coffin, screwed on the coffin lid, and gathering up our belongings, came away. When the Professor locked the door he gave the key to Arthur. Outside the air was sweet, the sun shone, and the birds sang, and it seemed as if all nature were tuned to a different pitch.

There was gladness and mirth and peace everywhere, for we were at rest ourselves on one account, and we were glad, though it was with a tempered joy.

True that there were there, as we had seen them in life, the traces of care and pain and waste. É verdade que lá estavam, tal como os tínhamos visto em vida, os vestígios do cuidado, da dor e do desperdício.

But these were all dear to us, for they marked her truth to what we knew. Mas todos eles nos eram queridos, pois marcavam a sua verdade em relação ao que sabíamos. One and all we felt that the holy calm that lay like sunshine over the wasted face and form was only an earthly token and symbol of the calm that was to reign for ever. |||||||||||||||vergeudet||||||||irdisches Zeichen||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||señal||||||||||| Todos nós sentimos que a calma santa que se estendia como um raio de sol sobre o rosto e a forma desolados era apenas um símbolo terreno da calma que iria reinar para sempre. Van Helsing came and laid his hand on Arthur’s shoulder, and said to him, "And now, Arthur my friend, dear lad, am I not forgiven? Van Helsing aproximou-se, pôs a mão no ombro de Artur e disse-lhe: "E agora, Artur, meu amigo, querido rapaz, não estou perdoado?

The reaction of the terrible strain came as he took the old man’s hand in his, and raising it to his lips, pressed it, and said, "Forgiven! A reação à terrível tensão veio quando ele tomou a mão do velho na sua e, levando-a aos lábios, pressionou-a e disse: "Perdoado!

God bless you that you have given my dear one her soul again, and me peace. Deus vos abençoe por terem devolvido a alma à minha querida e a mim a paz.

Kiss her dead lips if you will, as she would have you to, if for her to choose. Beija-lhe os lábios mortos se quiseres, como ela quereria que fizesses, se fosse ela a escolher.

Arthur bent and kissed her, and then we sent him and Quincey out of the tomb. Arthur inclinou-se e beijou-a, e depois mandámo-lo a ele e a Quincey para fora do túmulo.
