An impenetrable wall of thistles
Read the full text in our reader
Só quem tem viajado nos sertões e visto esses cardos gigantes, cujas largas palmas crivadas de espinhos se entrelaçam estreitamente formando uma alta muralha de alguns pés de grossura, poderá fazer idéia da barreira impenetrável que cercava por todos os lados as pessoas cuja voz Peri ouvia sem distinguir as palavras.
Only one who has traveled the backlands and seen those giant thistles — whose broad thorn-studded pads interlace so tightly, forming a high wall some feet thick — could form an idea of the impenetrable barrier that hemmed in on every side the people whose voices Peri heard without making out the words.
