Dracula - Bram Stoker, CHAPTER 10 - Letter, Dr. Seward To Hon. Arthur Holmwood, part 12

CHAPTER 10 - Letter, Dr. Seward To Hon. Arthur Holmwood, part 12

LUCY WESTENRA'S DIARY 9 September.--I feel so happy tonight. I have been so miserably weak, that to be able to think and move about is like feeling sunshine after a long spell of east wind out of a steel sky. Somehow Arthur feels very, very close to me. I seem to feel his presence warm about me. I suppose it is that sickness and weakness are selfish things and turn our inner eyes and sympathy on ourselves, whilst health and strength give love rein, and in thought and feeling he can wander where he wills. I know where my thoughts are. If only Arthur knew! My dear, my dear, your ears must tingle as you sleep, as mine do waking. Oh, the blissful rest of last night! How I slept, with that dear, good Dr. Seward watching me. And tonight I shall not fear to sleep, since he is close at hand and within call. Thank everybody for being so good to me. Thank God! Goodnight Arthur.

LUCY WESTENRA'S DIARY 9 September.--I feel so happy tonight. I have been so miserably weak, that to be able to think and move about is like feeling sunshine after a long spell of east wind out of a steel sky. Tenho estado tão miseravelmente fraco, que ser capaz de pensar e de me mexer é como sentir o sol depois de um longo período de vento leste num céu de aço. Somehow Arthur feels very, very close to me. De alguma forma, o Arthur sente-se muito, muito próximo de mim. I seem to feel his presence warm about me. Parece que sinto a sua presença quente à minha volta. I suppose it is that sickness and weakness are selfish things and turn our inner eyes and sympathy on ourselves, whilst health and strength give love rein, and in thought and feeling he can wander where he wills. Suponho que a doença e a fraqueza são coisas egoístas e voltam nossos olhos e simpatia para nós mesmos, enquanto a saúde e a força dão força ao amor, e no pensamento e no sentimento ele pode vagar para onde quiser. I know where my thoughts are. Eu sei onde estão os meus pensamentos. If only Arthur knew! My dear, my dear, your ears must tingle as you sleep, as mine do waking. Minha querida, minha querida, as tuas orelhas devem estar a tinir enquanto dormes, tal como as minhas ao acordar. Oh, the blissful rest of last night! Oh, o feliz descanso da noite passada! How I slept, with that dear, good Dr. Seward watching me. Como eu dormia, com o querido e bom Dr. Seward a vigiar-me. And tonight I shall not fear to sleep, since he is close at hand and within call. E esta noite não terei medo de dormir, pois ele está perto e ao meu alcance. Thank everybody for being so good to me. Obrigado a todos por serem tão bons para mim. Thank God! Goodnight Arthur.
