魔の山(英語版)(4)
The Magic Mountain
Translated by John E. Woods
————————【4】——————————————
After standing for a while in the wind,
gazing at a rather uncharming landscape,
you climb aboard a narrow-gauge train, and
the moment the small, but uncommonly
sturdy engine pulls out, the real adventure
begins, a steep and dogged ascent that will
never end, it seems.
