"" The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and
began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his
school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to
him and his hair was plastered to his forehead. All round him the long
scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. He was clambering
heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of
red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was
echoed by another. "" (William Golding)
"" El muchacho rubio descendió un último trecho de roca y comenzó a abrirse paso hacia la laguna. Se había quitado el suéter escolar y lo arrastraba en una mano, pero a pesar de ello sentía la camisa gris pegada a su piel y los cabellos aplastados contra la frente. En torno suyo, la penetrante cicatriz que mostraba la selva estaba bañada en vapor. Avanzaba el muchacho con dificultad entre las trepadoras y los troncos partidos, cuando un pájaro, visión roja y amarilla, saltó en vuelo como un relámpago, con un antipático chillido, al que contestó un grito como si fuese su eco "" (William Golding).
