Ella era hermosa, hermosa con esa hermosura que inspira el vértigo; hermosa con esa hermosura que no se parece en nada a la que soñamos en los ángeles, que, sin embargo, es sobrenatural; hermosura diabólica, que tal vez presta el demonio a algunos seres para hacerlos sus instrumentos en la tierra.
She was beautiful, beautiful with that beauty which turns a man dizzy; beautiful with that beauty which in no wise resembles our dream of the angels, and yet is supernatural; a diabolical beauty that the devil perchance gives to certain beings to make them his instruments on earth.
