Example

Auf all dies gesellschaftliche Treiben sah regungslos die bis zum Kinn verhüllte Göttin herab, die auf dem mächtigen, bronzegeschmückten Porzellanofen thronte.Emma, on entering, felt herself wrapped round by the warm air, a blending of the perfume of flowers and of the fine linen, of the fumes of the viands, and the odour of the truffles. The silver dish covers reflected the lighted wax candles in the candelabra, the cut crystal covered with light steam reflected from one to the other pale rays; bouquets were placed in a row the whole length of the table; and in the large-bordered plates each napkin, arranged after the fashion of a bishop 's mitre, held between its two gaping folds a small oval shaped roll. The red claws of lobsters hung over the dishes; rich fruit in open baskets was piled up on moss; there were quails in their plumage; smoke was rising; and in silk stockings, knee-breeches, white cravat, and frilled shirt, the steward, grave as a judge, offering ready carved dishes between the shoulders of the guests, with a touch of the spoon gave you the piece chosen. On the large stove of porcelain inlaid with copper baguettes the statue of a woman, draped to the chin, gazed motionless on the room full of life.OP296497
In solchen Augenblicken richtete er die Augen möglichst scharf auf das Fenster, aber leider war aus dem Anblick des Morgennebels, der sogar die andere Seite der engen Straße verhüllte, wenig Zuversicht und Munterkeit zu holen.At times like this he would direct his eyes to the window and look out as clearly as he could, but unfortunately, even the other side of the narrow street was enveloped in morning fog and the view had little confidence or cheer to offer him.OP505476
Dunkelheit verhüllte ihm die ganze Zukunft; aber gerade infolge dieser Dunkelheit hatte er die Vorstellung, daß der einzige leitende Faden in dieser Dunkelheit sein Unternehmen sei, und mit letzter Kraft griff er nach diesem Faden und hielt ihn fest.Everything for him was wrapped in darkness; but just because of the darkness, feeling his work to be the only thread to guide him through that darkness, he seized upon it and clung to it with all his might.OP763442
Die gesund aussehende, schön geputzte Amme bekam einen Schreck, daß man sie womöglich entlassen werde; sie murmelte etwas vor sich hin, verhüllte ihre große Brust wieder und lächelte verächtlich über einen solchen Zweifel an ihrer Nahrungsfülle.The healthy-looking wet-nurse in her finery, evidently afraid of being dismissed, muttered something to herself as she covered her well-developed breast, and smiled contemptuously at the idea of her not having sufficient milk.OP801276
Er blickte nach ihrer hohen Frisur mit dem langen, weißen Schleier und den weißen Blüten, nach dem hochstehenden, gefältelten Kragen, der so recht jungfräulich ihren schlanken Hals an den Seiten verhüllte und vorn offen ließ, nach der erstaunlich schmalen Hüfte, und Kitty erschien ihm reizender als je, nicht als ob diese Blüten, dieser Schleier, dieses aus Paris bezogene Kleid etwas zu ihrer Schönheit hinzugefügt hätten, sondern weil trotz dieser kunstvollen Pracht ihrer Gewandung der Ausdruck ihres lieben Gesichtes, ihrer Augen, ihrer Lippen unverändert der ihr eigene Ausdruck von Unschuld und Wahrhaftigkeit geblieben war.He looked at her hair dressed high beneath the long veil and white flowers, at the high frill that covered her long neck at the sides and showed it in front in a particularly maidenly way, and at her strikingly slender waist. He thought she was prettier than ever: not that those flowers, the veil, or the dress ordered from Paris enhanced her beauty in any way, but because, despite all the carefully planned richness of her attire, the look on her sweet face and lips was still that look of innocent truthfulness.OP816599
