Las novelas era mejor vivirlas.
Setos de madreselva y zarzamora orlaban el camino, y de trecho en trecho se erguía el tronco de un negrillo [olmo], robusto y achaparrado, de enorme cabezota, como un as de bastos, con algunos retoños en la calvicie, varillas débiles que la brisa sacudía, haciendo resonar como castañuelas las hojas solitarias de sus extremos.
Hedges of honeysuckle and blackberry bordered the path, and here and there rose up the trunk of an elm, sturdy and squat, with an enormous crown, like an ace of clubs, with some shoots in the bare patches, weak rods that shook in the breeze, making the solitary leaves on their ends resonate like castanets.
