English → Spanish Full Text Level 8/10

Thus, with the exception of the fragile memory which the author of this book here consecrates to it, there remains to-day nothing whatever of the mysterious word engraved within the gloomy tower of Notre-Dame,—nothing of the destiny which it so sadly summed up.

Así, con excepción del frágil recuerdo que el autor de este libro le consagra aquí, no queda hoy en día nada en absoluto de la misteriosa palabra grabada en la sombría torre de Notre-Dame,—nada del destino que tan tristemente resumía.

The man who wrote that word upon the wall disappeared from the midst of the generations of man many centuries ago; the word, in its turn, has been effaced from the wall of the church; the church will, perhaps, itself soon disappear from the face of the earth.

El hombre que escribió esa palabra en la pared desapareció de en medio de las generaciones de hombres hace muchos siglos; la palabra, a su vez, ha sido borrada de la pared de la iglesia; la iglesia misma quizás desaparezca pronto de la faz de la tierra.

It is upon this word that this book is founded.

Es sobre esta palabra que se funda este libro.
