Audiobook Dictation: “Where was his boyhood now…”

Where was his boyhood now?

Dov'era ora la sua fanciullezza?

He was unheeded, happy and near to the wild heart of life.

Era inosservato, felice e vicino al cuore selvaggio della vita.

Her thighs, fuller and soft-hued as ivory, were bared almost to the hips, where the white fringes of her drawers were like feathering of soft white down.

Le sue cosce, più piene e di una tinta morbida come l'avorio, erano scoperte quasi fino ai fianchi, dove le frange bianche delle mutandine erano come una piumatura di morbida peluria bianca.

Her slate-blue skirts were kilted boldly about her waist and dovetailed behind her.

Le sue gonne color blu ardesia erano arditamente rimboccate intorno alla vita e raccolte dietro a coda di rondine.

Her bosom was as a bird's, soft and slight, slight and soft as the breast of some dark-plumaged dove.

Il suo seno era come quello di un uccello, morbido e minuto, minuto e morbido come il petto di una colomba dal piumaggio scuro.

But her long fair hair was girlish: and girlish, and touched with the wonder of mortal beauty, her face.

Ma i suoi lunghi capelli biondi erano da fanciulla: e da fanciulla, e toccato dalla meraviglia della bellezza mortale, il suo volto.
