Moby Dick; Or, The Whale — Page 3

English → Pt CHAPTER 135. The Chase.—Third Day. Level 9/10

But gulp down your tears and hie aloft to the royal-mast with your hearts; for your friends who have gone before are clearing out the seven-storied heavens, and making refugees of long-pampered Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael, against your coming.

Mas engula suas lágrimas e suba ao mastro real com seus corações; pois seus amigos que partiram antes estão varrendo os céus de sete andares, e fazendo refugiados do muito mimado Gabriel, Miguel e Rafael, antes de sua chegada.

Here ye strike but splintered hearts together—there, ye shall strike unsplinterable glasses!

Aqui vocês chocam apenas corações despedaçados uns contra os outros — lá, vocês chocarão taças inquebrável!
