I was too far gone to think, nothing but a welter of sensation, my throat burning, eyes closed, his hands tearing at my clothes, finding bare skin and burning me all the way down to the bone.
Я не могла думать ни о чем, кроме своих ощущений, своем горящем горле, и закрытых глазах, и горячих руках демона, срывающих с меня одежду и прожигающих мое обнаженное тело до самых костей.

At night that glowing landscape weltered there strangely, passionately, slumbering with uncovered bosom, and outspread twisted limbs, whilst heaving mighty sighs, and exhaling the strong aroma of a sweating sleeper.
Ночью эта пылающая земля казалась охваченной какой‑то странной страстью. Она спала, разметавшись, изогнувшись, обнажившись, широко раскинув свои члены. Во тьме слышались тяжелые жаркие вздохи, доносились крепкие запахи вспотевшей во сне женщины.

They were so tightly packed they could not raise their arms to strike a blow; the dead and wounded could not fall, but stayed upright in the weltering mass; many were simply crushed to death or stifled.
Солдаты были настолько тесно спрессованы, что не могли поднять оружие для защиты; мертвые и раненые не падали, а стояли стиснутые со всех сторон, многих просто заду шили насмерть или переломали им все кости.

Then he saw clearly little edges of foam pursuing each other, and a wide waste of weltering waters below him.
И вдруг отчетливо увидел прямо под собой бегущие волны с пенистыми гребешками, увидел волнующуюся громаду моря.
