When he stepped upon the ground with his feet, I thought the earth trembled, just as it had done before in the earthquake, and all the air looked, to my apprehension, as if it had been filled with flashes of fire.
Sfolgorava sì tremendamente da tutte le parti, che i miei occhi non reggevano a fisarsegli incontro; l’aspetto di esso ineffabilmente spaventoso è impossibile a descriversi con parole; allorchè si movea, credeva che la terra traballasse come appunto nel giorno del tremuoto, e tutta l’aria sembravami in fiamme.
