English term or phrase: in the breach of the surf upon the lava
This was the wooing of Keawe; things had gone
quickly; but so an arrow goes, and the ball of a ri-
fle swifter still, and yet both may strike the target.
Things had gone fast, but they had gone far also, and
the thought of Keawe rang in the maiden’s head; she
heard his voice in the breach of the surf upon the lava,
and for this young man that she had seen but twice
she would have left father and mother and her native
islands. As for Keawe himself, his horse flew up the
path of the mountain under the cliff of tombs, and the
sound of the hoofs, and the sound of Keawe singing to
himself for pleasure, echoed in the caverns of the dead.
He came to the Bright House, and still he was singing.
He sat and ate in the broad balcony, and the Chinaman
wondered at his master, to hear how he sang between
the mouthfuls.
Es un fragmento de "The bottle imp" the robert louis stevenson. Muchas gracias.
