From the library

Pero, ¡oh dolor!, la recia musculatura de nuestros rudos persecutores no se fatigaba todavía; y, en cambio, nuestras piernas comenzaban a flaquear; el corazón palpitaba vertiginosamente; las fauces secas por el potente resoplido pulmonar demandaban refrigerio imposible; en fin, sudores de angustia invadían nuestro ser.
Recuerdos de mi vida: Mi infancia y juventud, p. 78 · C1
