But Syme, sensitive to such things, felt somehow that the man carried a rich atmosphere with him, a rich atmosphere that suffocated. It reminded one irrationally of drowsy odours and of dying lamps in the darker poems of Byron and Poe.
Syme-k, haatik, halako gauzetara sentibera, nolabaiteko atmosfera kargatuegi bat edo sumatu zuen haren inguruan, fineziaz betea bezain itogarria. Byron-en eta Poe-ren poemarik ilunenetako usain lo-sorrak eta argi erdi-iraungiak gogorarazten zituen irrazionalki.
