Frase de Leo Tolstoy

Quando voltou a si, os fragmentos do osso da coxa já haviam sido extraídos, a carne dilacerada cortada e o ferimento enfaixado. Água era aspergida em seu rosto. Assim que o príncipe Andrei abriu os olhos, o médico se inclinou, beijou-o nos lábios sem dizer uma palavra e se afastou apressado.

Original: When he came to himself the splintered portions of his thigh bone had been extracted, the torn flesh cut away and the wound bandaged. Water was being sprinkled on his face. As soon as Prince Andrei opened his eyes the doctor bent down, kissed him on the lips with not a word and hurried away.
