Examples from texts

Ultimately it was the memory of those very moles – and the pictures of their blind, nosy, toothsome selves that I sought out in books – that had made me accept more readily being sunk inside the earth in a heavy metal safe.
A la larga, el recuerdo de esos topos -las imágenes de esas criaturas ciegas, curiosas y dentudas que buscaba en los libros- me ayudó a aceptar el hecho de que me había hundido en la tierra en una pesada caja fuerte.

The whole street was lit up – all except number three which seemed, in contrast, to be sunk in a well of darkness although it was right next door to the wedding.
Había luces en todas partes menos en la casa del número tres, que en contraste parecía sumida en un pozo de oscuridad, aunque estaba junto al edificio donde se celebraba la boda.

I looked out of the window, the little round window over the sinks, and saw the new day dawning in pieces of the campus like pieces of a puzzle.

Para darnos una idea de la ubicación en la cual se encuentran, Stone regresa a la pileta para lavar los platos, en la cocina: "Conforme se expande el agua (o el viento solar), se torna cada vez más delgada y deja de ejercer una presión significativa.

I sighed. I wondered if I would end by having to interview every monk and servant in the monastery, and my heart sank at the thought of how long that might take.
Suspiré y me pregunté si acabaría viéndome obligado a interrogar a todos los monjes y criados del monasterio; al pensar en el tiempo que necesitaría para hacerlo, se me cayó el alma al suelo.
