Question

The cloven halves were not broken from each other, for the firm base and strong roots kept them unsundered below; though community of vitality was destroyed--the sap could flow no more: their great boughs on each side were dead, and next winter's tempests would be sure to fell one or both to earth: as yet, however, they might be said to form one tree--a ruin, but an entire ruin.

Accepted Answer

Az erős gyökérzet még összetartotta a széthasított részeket, de a fa megszűnt élni, az életet adó nedv kiszáradt belőle, lombja, ágai halottak voltak mindkét oldalon; az eljövendő tél viharai bizonyára kidöntik a hajdani óriást, amely ma még, ha rom is, de egy darabban van.
