In the floorboards, look to wine and worlds for inspiration, attitudes to our science darkening,
Where human bodies grow in the same way, as rope molding frames a converted farmhouse.
In intimation of the troubles ahead, and with the moth wings composed, once again it pleases
Our notions of them, all clearly perishing; heavy hammers penetrating ever deeper to its fluid form,
Your bright shadow once again grasping at the corner of another memory, and watching closely
For someone catching, if not, then unobtrusive, upright, and honest. Not comely, the premises
Observed, your sad morning face caught between the shafts...

—Benjamin Moser and Magdalena Edwards's 2018 translation of Clarice Lispector's Lustre (1946)
