The wind roared high in the great trees which embowered the gates; but the road as far as I could see, to the right hand and the left, was all still and solitary: save for the shadows of clouds crossing it at intervals as the moon looked out, it was but a long pale line, unvaried by one moving speck.
Il vento soffiava nei grandi alberi piantati ai due lati della porta, ma, per quanto spingessi lungi lo sguardo, non vidi nulla sulla strada, che era tranquilla e solitaria.
