Black Horse 黑駿馬
Jed got to the top of the mountain and sat down to rest. The July sun had made him hot.
傑德到了山頂,就坐下來休息。7月底太陽使他熱汗淋淋。
It had been a long walk to the top and he was tired. He knew the horse he was trying to capture could not be too far away. He looked at the mountain and the valleys below, searching footmarks left by the horse.
他走了很長一段路才到山頂的,所以感到渾身乏力。他知道他想方設法要逮住的那匹馬離此不會太遠。他察看折山上及下面的山谷,尋找著那匹馬留下的蹄印。
Then he saw the marks going down the other side of the mountain. He must capture the horse. He knew better men than he had tried. Tom Raglan, the best rancher in the state, had tried with the help of his cowboys.
這時,他看到在山的另一側,順坡而下有一行馬蹄印。他一定要逮住這匹馬。他知道曾有比他更有能耐的人嘗試過。州內最好的牧場主湯姆·拉格倫就曾經在他那幫牛仔的幫助下做過嘗試.
But they had not been able to capture it. It had gotten away from others, too. They all said it was too wild. It could not be captured.
但他們並沒有能逮住它,其他試圖去逮它的人也都失敗了,都讓它逃脫了。他們都說他太野,是不可能被逮住的。
After a slow, painful walk down the mountain, Jed came to a cool-looking river. He drank the clear water.順著山路向下,慢慢地、艱難地走了一段之後,傑德到達一條水看上去十分清澈的河邊,喝了幾口河水。
Further down the valley he saw the black horse. It stood under a tree out of the sun. Jed moved closer, then hid behind a tree to watch. It was the biggest and blackest and blackest he had ever seen.
接著又沿山谷向前走了一段,這是他看到了那匹黑馬,他站在一棵樹下遮太陽。傑德又走進了些,然後躲在一棵樹後觀察。這是他有生以來見過的最大、最黑的馬。
Jed knew all about horse. He had grown into a man caring for them. He had never earned more than '10 but he had dreams: If he could get a male and female house and 10 hectares of land, he could sell horses. That would be all the happiness Jed wanted.
傑德對馬了如指掌。他是一個從小與馬廝混、在馬背上長大的人。盡管他掙的錢從來沒有超過10美元,但他有自己的夢想:如果他能夠得到一匹公馬、一匹母馬和10公頃土地,他就可以養馬並以賣馬為生了。那就是傑德想要得到的全部幸福了。
Night came. The big black house moved from under the tree and began to eat grass near the river. Jed watched again. A few hours later, he found a soft place in the ground. He placed his head against an old fallen tree and slept.
夜幕降臨。那匹大黑馬從樹下走了出來,走到河邊開始吃草。傑德繼續觀察著。幾小時後,他在地上找了一塊柔軟的地方,將頭靠在一棵倒著的老樹上睡著了。
The next day he woke with the sun. His eyes searched for the horse, and there it was, grazing. Jed saw how it ate, then lifted its head and looked all around. It was the mark of the wild, always looking for hidden danger.
第二天日出時他醒了過來,馬上就用目光尋找那匹馬,還好,它就站在那裡,正吃著草呢。傑德看著它吃草,隨後又見它抬起頭,朝四周看看。這就是野馬的特徵:它們總是十分小心,不時地看看四周是否有什麼暗藏的危險。
Jed started to walk toward the horse. The horse stopped eating and looking at Jed. Jed's heart began to beat heavily. Men had said the horse was a killer. Still, he walked closer.
傑德開始慢慢向它走近。它停止吃草,看著傑德。傑德的心開始「咚咚」直跳。人們都說這馬是一個殺手,但他還是繼續向它靠近。
Fifteen meters away from the horse Jed stopped. The horse had lifted its front feet high in the air, then placed them heavily back on the ground. Jed moved closer. He talked to the horse in a soft voice.
在離它15米遠的地方,傑德停了下來。只見它高高的抬起前蹄,然後又重重的落回原地。傑德又走近了些。他開始柔聲跟它說話。
Then, with a loud scream, the horse turned and ran down the valley. Jed sank to the ground wet with excitement. He had done what no man had done.
接著,隨著一聲響亮的嘶鳴,這匹馬轉身順著山谷跑了下去。傑德卻因興奮而渾身大汗淋漓,倒在地上。他已經做了別人沒有做到的事兒.
He had almost touched the wild horse. The animal was not a killer. If it had been, Jed would be dead now.
他幾乎快要挨到這匹野馬了。它並不是一個殺手,如果它是的話,傑德現在已經沒命了。
For six days he followed the horse. He rested when the horse rested. Jed did not like the land they were in now. The sides of the valley were high and filled with big rocks. Few trees were around. And the bottom of the valley was soft and wet.
他一連跟蹤了這匹馬6天。只有馬歇的時候,他才歇。傑德不喜歡他現在所呆的地方。這山谷的兩側都很高,到處是大岩石,周圍沒有多少樹,而且谷底又軟又濕。
Jed watched the horse a while, and then lay down to sleep.
傑德又看了一會兒馬,隨後躺下來睡覺。
In the middle of the night, he was awakened by thunder and rain. He walked up the rocks until he found a dry hole, safe from the rain, and he slept again.
半夜十分,他被雷雨聲驚醒。他立刻沿著岩石向上走,直到找了一個可以蔽雨的乾燥的山洞,他再接著睡。
The next day was cold and wet. Heavy rains had softened the bottom of the valley. He followed the house most of the day. The wet valley was the only place it could walk now.
第二天又冷又濕。大雨已經泡軟了谷底的土壤。這一天他大部分時間都在跟著馬走。濕濕的山谷是現在它唯一可以行走的地方了。
The sides of the valley had gotten higher. Toward evening he saw it again. But this time there was fear in its face. He stopped and watched. The horse's nose was smelling the air. It smelled danger. It smelled danger.
越走,山谷兩側就顯得越高。臨近黃昏時分,他才又見到了它,但這次它的臉上出現了一種恐懼的神情。他停下來仔細觀察,只見馬鼻子在嗅著空氣,他聞到了危險的氣息。
Jed thought of wild animals, a wildcat(鏈接至同目錄下wildcat)or bear maybe. He pulled his knife from his pants. He looked among the rocks but saw nothing.
傑德想到是不是有什麼野獸,一隻豹貓,也可能是一隻熊。他從褲子里抽出刀,在岩石間四處看看,但什麼也沒有看見。
He began walking toward the horse. The wildcat could have been on either side of the valley. He walked slowly, trying to watch both sides at the same time.
他便向馬走過去。豹貓可能在山谷的某一側。他走得很慢,盡力同時看著兩側。
Slowly he came to the horse's side. Jed kept watching the rocks. If the cat was going to attack, it would do it now. He felt the excitement of danger.
慢慢地,他來到了馬身邊。傑德一直盯著那些岩石。豹貓如果要襲擊,它現在就會跳出來的。他感到既危險又興奮。
Suddenly the silence was broken. The black horse screamed loudly, a cry of fear. It began running down the wet valley.
突然,寂靜被打破了。黑駿馬大聲嘶叫起來,那是一種充滿恐懼的叫喊。隨後,它順著濕漉漉的山谷奔跑起來。
At the same time there was a heavy, deep noise from the rocks. Then it happened. Tons of wet earth and big rocks began moving down the sides of the mountain. The land itself was the enemy.
與此同時,岩石中傳出了一種沉重的、深沉的響聲。緊接著,事情就發生了。成噸成噸的濕土和大岩石開始從山坡兩側滾落下來。原來山地本身就是馬的敵人。
When the air became clear, Jed looked for the horse. In front of him were tons of the fallen earth. He could not see down the valley and could not see the horse.
當空氣恢復清新的時候,傑德立刻開始找馬。在他面前是滾落下來的成噸的泥土,他無法看到山谷的前方,也看不到馬。
He slowly climbed over the fallen rocks. On the other side was the horse, more frightened than ever. Its legs were stuck in the soft earth and it could not move. The more it struggled, the deeper it sank in the mud.
他慢慢地爬過那些落下來的岩石。馬在這個石土堆的另一邊,看上去比先前更加恐懼。它的腿陷入了軟土裡,動彈不得。 而它越掙扎,就在泥中陷的越深。
Jed walked toward the animal. Each step he took, the soft mud tried to suck him down, too. He walked on the grassy places harder than the mud.
傑德向它走過去。他每走一步都感到軟泥也在將他向下吸,而且在長草的地方走比在泥里走還要艱難。
When he got to the horse, it was in the mud up to his stomach. Now it could move only its head. Jed felt wildly happy when he touched the horse. 「Don't struggle and do not worry, Horse! I'll get you out!」
當他趕到馬身邊的時候,泥已經驗到了馬肚上,現在它只剩下頭部還能動彈。摸到馬,傑德感到欣喜若狂。「別掙扎,別擔心,馬兒!我會把你弄出來的!」
Suddenly he felt the horses teeth on his arm. He bit his lip to stop it from crying aloud. His free hand gently calmed the horse and slowly it let go. It pressed its nose against Jed's face. At last they were friends.
突然,他趕到馬的牙齒咬住了他的手臂。他咬住嘴唇,以防自己疼得叫出聲來。他用那隻沒被咬著的手輕撫馬身,使它平靜下來,慢慢地讓它松開了嘴。隨後,馬將鼻子貼在了傑德的臉上。最後,他們成了朋友。
Now Jed could go to work. He studied the problem carefully. He had no way to lift the big horse from the mud. Certainly his rope was not strong enough.
現在傑德可以開始忙活了。他仔細研究了這個問題。他沒有辦法將這么大的一匹馬從泥里拽出來,它的繩子顯然不夠結實。
He began to pull the mud away with his hands. But more mud fell into the hole he g. He ran to the rocks that had fallen down the mountain. He took off his shirt and filled it with rocks. He g again.
他開始用手將泥刨開,但這樣以後,更多的泥又落進了他剛挖開的窟窿里。他就跑到那些山上落下的岩石邊,脫下襯衣將岩石裹住,又挖了起來。
Only this time, he placed rocks in the holes he g. The rocks stayed still and slowly a wall began to form. He did this through the day and when night came, his hands were bloody, torn by the sharp rocks.
這一次,他將岩石放進他挖開的窟窿里,岩石穩穩地呆在裡面,慢慢地形成了一面擋土石壁。他整整挖了一天。夜幕降臨時,他的兩手已經被尖銳的岩石劃得血淋淋的。
He knew night would be a bad time for the horse. He did not want it to become frightened and struggle against the wall of rock he was building in the mud.
他知道,夜晚對馬來說是很難熬的。他不想讓馬害怕,以至於掙紮起來踢壞他在泥里建好的石壁。
He cut some small trees, laid them on the ground next to the horse and all through the night, he spoke soft, kind words to it to calm its fears.
他砍了一些小樹,將它們放在馬旁邊的地上。另外,整整一夜,他都跟馬說一些溫柔友善的話來解除它的恐懼。
The next morning, he brought grass for it to eat and began his work again. It was slow, hard work. When night came, he lay next to the horse again. He did not want it to struggle yet. The time had not come for the test.
第二天早上,他抱來些草讓它吃,然後又開始忙活起來。這是一項好時而又艱苦的工作。夜幕降臨時,他又在馬旁邊躺了下來。現在他還不想讓馬從泥中掙脫出來,考驗的時機還沒有到。
By the middle of the next day, he had enough rocks in the mud on one side of the horse. Now he began to dig near the houses front legs. His rocks began to make the mud harder. The horse was able to move a little.
到第三天中午的時候,他在馬一邊的泥里放進了足夠的岩石。現在他開始挖馬前腿附近的土了。他放的岩石使泥地堅硬了起來,馬開始能動一點兒了。
And when the pressure became less, it raised one of its front legs on to the rocks. It pushed against the rocks on its side and lifted its body a little out of the mud.
而感到壓力變小了的時候,馬便將它的一條前腿拔了出來,翹到了岩石的上面,然後朝身邊的岩石猛蹬,使它的身體從泥里稍微抬起了點兒。
Jed got his rope and tied it around the horses neck. He began to pull on the rope.
傑德拿出繩子,將它繫到馬的脖子上,開始拉繩。
The horse felt the pull and struggled with all its power against the mud. It raised its other front leg on the rocks and with a mighty push with its back legs and with Jed pulling on its neck, it moved forward toward hard land.
馬感到了拉力,就用盡全力在泥里向外掙扎。他將另一條前腿也拔出來,搭在了岩石上,靠著後腿的巨大蹬力和傑德對它脖子施加的拉力,他向前面的硬地移動著。
Jed fell on the earth, happy but tired. He had not eaten for three days. He had slept little. Half sleep, he felt the horses nose push against his face. He jumped to his feet and when he brought grass for the horse it made friendly noises and playfully pushed him.
傑德倒在地上,高興而又疲憊。他已經三天沒吃東西了,睡的覺也不多。正有點迷迷糊糊的,他感到馬的鼻子拱到了他的臉上,他趕快一躍而起。當他為馬抱來草料時,馬發出了友好的叫聲,頑皮地拱拱他,和他戲耍。
A week later, a big black horse rode on the land owned by Tom Raglan. It stopped near the ranch house. A little man got off the horses back. Tom Raglan looked at the horse with eyes that did not believe. Finally he said: "You got him."
一周之後,有人騎了一匹大黑馬來到牧場主湯姆·拉格倫的領地上。他在牧場房邊停下來,一名小個子男人從馬背上跳了下來。湯姆·拉格倫用吃驚的眼光看著這匹馬,眼前的情景簡直令他難以置信。最後,他說:「你得到了他。」
"I got him, Tom, and I brought him back as I said I would."
「我的得到了他,湯姆,而且正像我說過的那樣,我把他騎回來了。」
Raglan looked at the horse. Above all, he was a horseman and there was no need for Jed to tell him how he captured it. Jed's tired face, his torn hands, dirty clothes and thin body told the story.
拉格倫看著馬。他畢竟是一個馬主,沒有必要讓傑德告訴他是怎麼逮住馬的。傑德疲憊的臉、劃爛的手、骯臟的衣服和瘦弱的身體就已說明了一切。
「Jed,」 Raglan said. 「that horse will kill anyone except you. I do not want it. But I have not forgotten my promise."
「傑德,」拉格倫說,「那匹馬會弄死除你之外的任何人,我不想要它。但我沒忘記自己的諾言。
"I will give you some land and the old house in back of the ranch if you will keep the horse there. I pay you '30 a month, if you will let me send my female horses to the black horse."
如果你讓這匹馬一直呆在這兒,我就把一些土地和牧場後邊的那坐老房子送給你。如果你讓我把我的母馬送到你的黑駿馬那裡去交配的話,我會每個月付給你三十美元。
"I want the black horse's blood in my horses. And you can keep every seventh horse for yourself.」
我想要我的馬的身體力都有黑駿馬的血統。而且,你可以留下交配後產下的小馬中的七分之一。」
Jed put his arm around the black horse. The black horse was his. His dream had come true. It was too much all at once.
傑德伸出手臂,抱住大黑馬。黑駿馬成他的了。他的夢想已經變為現實了。突然之間,他得到的真是太多了。

禾林是什麼?禾林就是愛情,禾林賺取了全世界女性的笑靨和眼淚。曾經有人做過統計,進入90年代,禾林一天銷售的浪漫愛情小說堆積起來的總高度是紐約世界貿易中心的5倍。
1919年1月29日,加拿大出版商理查德·邦尼卡斯創辦了禾林(Harlequin)出版公司,從此禾林出版公司便以浪漫小說形式把一個個愛情傳奇送給讀者,讀者中人數最多的是女性,禾林浪漫愛情小說已擄獲了全球兩億女性的芳心。禾林浪漫愛情小說以愛情、親情、激情、奇情為題材,雜糅歐洲戀情、懸念刺激、歷險系列,大大吊起了女性讀者的胃口。�
早期的禾林出版公司規模不大,出版物大多是從英國、美國購買的各種各樣的平裝書——偵探、西部傳奇、古典小說的版權。1957年,禾林開始購買佔英國浪漫小說市場85%的米爾思出版公司的浪漫小說版權。邦尼卡斯的太太瑪麗以一個女性的直覺認為這些以喜劇收場的浪漫愛情小說會有很好的市場前景,建議公司著重於出版浪漫愛情小說。禾林出版公司非常重視這一建議,1964年,禾林開始專注於浪漫愛情小說,以後的時間里終於以愛情小說在世界打開了知名度。� 如今在國外不少國家和地區,禾林就是愛情的代名詞,禾林賺取的女性的笑靨和眼淚比任何一家出版公司都多。曾經做過統計,進入90年代,禾林一天銷售的浪漫愛情小說堆積起來的總高度是紐約世界貿易中心的5倍。1957年至1992年禾林小說在全球出售43億本。1992年,當加拿大幾乎所有出版公司都要靠政府補貼才能生存下去的時候,禾林卻創下了6200萬美元的凈利,禾林浪漫愛情小說佔了世界愛情小說市場的80%。�
禾林作為世界浪漫系列小說最成功的出版商,其出版理念和操作方式頗值得玩味。�
配合讀者的口味寫書�
禾林有自己的簽約作家1000多位,另外每年還可收到投稿約一萬件。這些簽約作家的職責就是為禾林創作深受讀者喜愛的浪漫小說。如果作品驗收合格,所得稿酬相當優厚。在挑選作家作品時,禾林注重內容的創意,文字的掌握能力,作者的身世背景以及塑造人物個性的能力,並以各地讀者的口味規模題材。此外,禾林在加拿大、美國、英國三大編輯部經常舉辦巡迴講座、寫作研討會,還出版寫作指南和錄音帶,提供給有潛力的新手參考,而這些指南每年又會吸引上萬份投稿,禾林再從中挑選十分之一的新手,簽約為基本作家。禾林與作家的關系還有一點值得一提,即禾林對作家的筆名有5—7年的所有權,成名的作家不能帶著筆名到別的出版社工作。�
嚴密的市場調查�
禾林去年在全世界銷售禾林浪漫愛情小說一億七千五百萬冊,這是一個十分驚人的數字,創造這一業績除綜合運作成功之外,周密的市場調查是禾林成功的核心秘密。�
以北美市場來說,禾林每兩年進行一次消費趨勢和讀書習慣的市場調查,是禾林測知讀者興趣所在的依據。此外,讀者來信,零售業者的座談會,或是針對特殊團體的問卷,也都是是推出新系列的依據。�
對書而言,它的銷售場所似乎永遠是書店。禾林通過市場調查,了解到禾林的讀者大多是常常出入店鋪的女性,所以禾林大膽將書從書店帶入超級市場、葯店、百貨商店、雜貨店、日用品中心和平價批發市場等女性常去的地方,使讀者能方便地買到。1975年,禾林又打破以往藉助平面媒體銷書的慣例,成為北美地區第一家使用電視媒體作宣傳的出版公司。禾林每年將凈利的10%作為促銷費用,廣泛利用各種媒體,並舉辦各種活動擴大影響。1989年柏林牆倒塌後,禾林德國合作公司免費送72萬本小說給來自東德的人,結果僅在短短的一個下午就開拓了東德市場,接著東歐國家像骨牌效應似一個個接受了禾林。在匈牙利,禾林小說剛印好,書商們就迫不及待地要求付款;波蘭在一星期內賣書30萬本。禾林根據市場,又推出「愛不釋手」、「戀戀星辰」、「紅塵經典」系列。目前,禾林出版公司看好中國圖書市場,經禾林對中國市場的調查,選中春風文藝出版社為其在中國的版權貿易合作夥伴,計劃2000年一月首推禾林浪漫愛情小說中文版,並由此形成定式,每逢單月20日必有新書上市。�
從歐洲市場的直接操作情況來看,浪漫愛情確實是全球性的語言。但中國的愛情似與古老的歷史有關,愛得相對艱難和沉重,禾林的浪漫愛情將會有別於我們傳統意義上愛情格式,它上演的是輕松喜劇,使讀書的意義從道德說教變成了輕松娛樂,像吃一道甜點,喝一杯冰鎮礦泉水。

El Sordo was making his fight on a hilltop. He did not like this hill and when he saw it he thought it had the shape of a chancre. But he had had no choice except this hill and he had picked it as far away as he could see it and galloped for it, the automatic rifle heavy on his back, the horse laboring, barrel heaving between his thighs, the sack of grenades swinging against one side, the sack of automatic rifle pans banging against the other, and Joaqu璯 and Ignacio halting and firing, halting and firing to give him time to get the gun in place.
There had still been snow then, the snow that had ruined them, and when his horse was hit so that he wheezed in a slow, jerking, climbing stagger up the last part of the crest, splattering the snow with a bright, pulsing jet, Sordo had hauled him along by the bridle, the reins over his shoulder as he climbed. He climbed as hard as he could with the bullets spatting on the rocks, with the two sacks heavy on his shoulders, and then, holding the horse by the mane, had shot him quickly, expertly, and tenderly just where he had needed him, so that the horse pitched, head forward down to plug a gap between two rocks. He had gotten the gun to firing over the horse's back and he fired two pans, the gun clattering, the empty shells pitching into the snow, the smell of burnt hair from the burnt hide where the hot muzzle rested, him firing at what came up to the hill, forcing them to scatter for cover, while all the time there was a chill in his back from not knowing what was behind him. Once the last of the five men had reached the hilltop the chill went out of his back and he had saved the pans he had left until he would need them.
There were two more horses dead along the slope and three more were dead here on the hilltop. He had only succeeded in stealing three horses last night and one had bolted when they tried to mount him bareback in the corral at the camp when the first shooting had started.
Of the five men who had reached the hilltop three were wounded. Sordo was wounded in the calf of his leg and in two places in his left arm. He was very thirsty, his wounds had stiffened, and one of the wounds in his left arm was very painful. He also had a bad headache and as he lay waiting for the planes to come he thought of a joke in Spanish. It was, "_Hay que tomar la muerte como si fuera aspirina_," which means, "You will have to take death as an aspirin." But he did not make the joke aloud. He grinned somewhere inside the pain in his head and inside the nausea that came whenever he moved his arm and looked around at what there was left of his band.
The five men were spread out like the points of a five-pointed star. They had g with their knees and hands and made mounds in front of their heads and shoulders with the dirt and piles of stones. Using this cover, they were linking the indivial mounds up with stones and dirt. Joaqu璯, who was eighteen years old, had a steel helmet that he g with and he passed dirt in it.
He had gotten this helmet at the blowing up of the train. It had a bullet hole through it and every one had always joked at him for keeping it. But he had hammered the jagged edges of the bullet hole smooth and driven a wooden plug into it and then cut the plug off and smoothed it even with the metal inside the helmet.
When the shooting started he had clapped this helmet on his head so hard it banged his head as though he had been hit with a casserole and, in the last lung-aching, leg-dead, mouth-dry, bulletspatting, bullet-cracking, bullet-singing run up the final slope of the hill after his horse was killed, the helmet had seemed to weigh a great amount and to ring his bursting forehead with an iron band. But he had kept it. Now he g with it in a steady, almost machinelike desperation. He had not yet been hit.
"It serves for something finally," Sordo said to him in his deep, throaty voice.
"_Resistir y fortificar es vencer_," Joaqu璯 said, his mouth stiff with the dryness of fear which surpassed the normal thirst of battle. It was one of the slogans of the Communist party and it meant, "Hold out and fortify, and you will win."
Sordo looked away and down the slope at where a cavalryman was sniping from behind a boulder. He was very fond of this boy and he was in no mood for slogans.
"What did you say?"
One of the men turned from the building that he was doing. This man was lying flat on his face, reaching carefully up with his hands to put a rock in place while keeping his chin flat against the ground.
Joaqu璯 repeated the slogan in his dried-up boy's voice without checking his digging for a moment.
"What was the last word?" the man with his chin on the ground asked.
"_Vencer_," the boy said. "Win."
"_Mierda_," the man with his chin on the ground said.
"There is another that applies to here," Joaqu璯 said, bringing them out as though they were talismans, "Pasionaria says it is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees."
"_Mierda_ again," the man said and another man said, over his shoulder, "We're on our bellies, not our knees."
"Thou. Communist. Do you know your Pasionaria has a son thy age in Russia since the start of the movement?"
"It's a lie," Joaqu璯 said.
"_Qu?va_, it's a lie," the other said. "The dynamiter with the rare name told me. He was of thy party, too. Why should he lie?"
"It's a lie," Joaqu璯 said. "She would not do such a thing as keep a son hidden in Russia out of the war."
"I wish I were in Russia," another of Sordo's men said. "Will not thy Pasionaria send me now from here to Russia, Communist?"
"If thou believest so much in thy Pasionaria, get her to get us off this hill," one of the men who had a bandaged thigh said.
"The fascists will do that," the man with his chin in the dirt said.
"Do not speak thus," Joaqu璯 said to him.
"Wipe the pap of your mother's breasts off thy lips and give me a hatful of that dirt," the man with his chin on the ground said. "No one of us will see the sun go down this night."
El Sordo was thinking: It is shaped like a chancre. Or the breast of a young girl with no nipple. Or the top cone of a volcano. You have never seen a volcano, he thought. Nor will you ever see one. And this hill is like a chancre. Let the volcanos alone. It's late now for the volcanos.
He looked very carefully around the withers of the dead horse and there was a quick hammering of firing from behind a boulder well down the slope and he heard the bullets from the submachine gun thud into the horse. He crawled along behind the horse and looked out of the angle between the horse's hindquarters and the rock. There were three bodies on the slope just below him where they had fallen when the fascists had rushed the crest under cover of the automatic rifle and submachine gunfire and he and the others had broken down the attack by throwing and rolling down hand grenades. There were other bodies that he could not see on the other sides of the hill crest. There was no dead ground by which attackers could approach the summit and Sordo knew that as long as his ammunition and grenades held out and he had as many as four men they could not get him out of there unless they brought up a trench mortar. He did not know whether they had sent to La Granja for a trench mortar. Perhaps they had not, because surely, soon, the planes would come. It had been four hours since the observation plane had flown over them.
This hill is truly like a chancre, Sordo thought, and we are the very pus of it. But we killed many when they made that stupidness. How could they think that they would take us thus? They have such modern armament that they lose all their sense with overconfidence. He had killed the young officer who had led the assault with a grenade that had gone bouncing and rolling down the slope as they came up it, running, bent half over. In the yellow flash and gray roar of smoke he had seen the officer dive forward to where he lay now like a heavy, broken bundle of old clothing marking the farthest point that the assault had reached. Sordo looked at this body and then, down the hill, at the others.
They are brave but stupid people, he thought. But they have sense enough now not to attack us again until the planes come. Unless, of course, they have a mortar coming. It would be easy with a mortar. The mortar was the normal thing and he knew that they would die as soon as a mortar came up, but when he thought of the planes coming up he felt as naked on that hilltop as though all of his clothing and even his skin had been removed. There is no nakeder thing than I feel, he thought. A flayed rabbit is as well covered as a bear in comparison. But why should they bring planes? They could get us out of here with a trench mortar easily. They are proud of their planes, though, and they will probably bring them. Just as they were so proud of their automatic weapons that they made that stupidness. But undoubtedly they must have sent for a mortar too.
One of the men fired. Then jerked the bolt and fired again, quickly.
"Save thy cartridges," Sordo said.
"One of the sons of the great whore tried to reach that boulder," the man pointed.
"Did you hit him?" Sordo asked, turning his head with difficulty.
"Nay," the man said. "The fornicator cked back."
"Who is a whore of whores is Pilar," the man with his chin in the dirt said. "That whore knows we are dying here."
"She could do no good," Sordo said. The man had spoken on the side of his good ear and he had heard him without turning his head. "What could she do?"
"Take these sluts from the rear."
"_Qu?va_," Sordo said. "They are spread around a hillside. How would she come on them? There are a hundred and fifty of them. Maybe more now."
"But if we hold out until dark," Joaqu璯 said.
"And if Christmas comes on Easter," the man with his chin on the ground said.
"And if thy aunt had _cojones_ she would be thy uncle," another said to him. "Send for thy Pasionaria. She alone can help us."
"I do not believe that about the son," Joaqu璯 said. "Or if he is there he is training to be an aviator or something of that sort."
"He is hidden there for safety," the man told him.
"He is studying dialectics. Thy Pasionaria has been there. So have Lister and Modesto and others. The one with the rare name told me."
"That they should go to study and return to aid us," Joaqu璯 said.
"That they should aid us now," another man said. "That all the cruts of Russian sucking swindlers should aid us now." He fired and said, "_Me cago en tal_; I missed him again."
"Save thy cartridges and do not talk so much or thou wilt be very thirsty," Sordo said. "There is no water on this hill."
"Take this," the man said and rolling on his side he pulled a wineskin that he wore slung from his shoulder over his head and handed it to Sordo. "Wash thy mouth out, old one. Thou must have much thirst with thy wounds."
"Let all take it," Sordo said.
"Then I will have some first," the owner said and squirted a long stream into his mouth before he handed the leather bottle around.
"Sordo, when thinkest thou the planes will come?" the man with his chin in the dirt asked.
"Any time," said Sordo. "They should have come before."
"Do you think these sons of the great whore will attack again?"
"Only if the planes do not come."
He did not think there was any need to speak about the mortar. They would know it soon enough when the mortar came.
"God knows they've enough planes with what we saw yesterday."
"Too many," Sordo said.
His head hurt very much and his arm was stiffening so that the pain of moving it was almost unbearable. He looked up at the bright, high, blue early summer sky as he raised the leather wine bottle with his good arm. He was fifty-two years old and he was sure this was the last time he would see that sky.
He was not at all afraid of dying but he was angry at being trapped on this hill which was only utilizable as a place to die. If we could have gotten clear, he thought. If we could have made them come up the long valley or if we could have broken loose across the road it would have been all right. But this chancre of a hill. We must use it as well as we can and we have used it very well so far.
If he had known how many men in history have had to use a hill to die on it would not have cheered him any for, in the moment he was passing through, men are not impressed by what has happened to other men in similar circumstances any more than a widow of one day is helped by the knowledge that other loved husbands have died. Whether one has fear of it or not, one's death is difficult to accept. Sordo had accepted it but there was no sweetness in its acceptance even at fifty-two, with three wounds and him surrounded on a hill.
He joked about it to himself but he looked at the sky and at the far mountains and he swallowed the wine and he did not want it. If one must die, he thought, and clearly one must, I can die. But I hate it.
Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the st of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.
