De La Por Y I Enormes Con Extraños

Back I liked the hush, the gloom, the quaintness of these retreats in the day; but I by no means coveted a night's repose on one of those wide and heavy beds: shut in, some of them, with doors of oak; shaded, others, with wrought old English hangings crusted with thick work, portraying effigies of strange flowers, and stranger birds, and strangest human beings,--all which would have looked strange, indeed, by the pallid gleam of moonlight.
Front El melancólico silencio de aquellas estancias me agradaba; pero seguro que no hubiera dormido tranquila en uno de los enormes lechos vacíos, cerrados algunos, como armarios, con enormes puertas de nogal, cubiertos por antiguas cortinas a la inglesa, con extraños bordados que representaban no menos extrañas flores, extraños pájaros y otras mil y mil raras figuras, sin duda de aspecto temeroso por la noche, cuando las iluminase la pálida y triste luz de la luna filtrándose por las ventanas.
