Английский с Уилки Коллинзом. Женщина из сна / Wilkie Collins. The Dream Woman

I have said it already – I say it again (я уже говорил и скажу это снова) – I was a man bewitched (я был зачарован). Is there anything so very wonderful in that (разве в этом есть что-то чересчур удивительное)? Just remember who I was (просто вспомните, кем я был). Among the honest women in my own station in life (среди честных женщин моего положения в жизни), where could I have found the like of her (где бы я мог найти подобную ей)? Could they walk as she walked (разве могли бы они ходить так, как она)? and look as she looked (выглядеть, как она)? When they gave me a kiss, did their lips linger over it as hers did (когда они целовали меня: «давали мне поцелуй», разве их губы так же длили поцелуй, как ее)? Had they her skin (разве у них была ее кожа), her laugh (ее смех), her foot (нога), her hand (рука), her touch (прикосновение)? She never had a speck of dirt on her (на ней никогда не было ни пятнышка грязи; speck – пятнышко; крупица, частица): I tell you her flesh was a perfume (говорю вам, ее тело благоухало; flesh – тело, плоть; perfume – благоухание, аромат; духи). When she embraced me (когда она обнимала меня), her arms folded round me like the wings of angels (ее руки смыкались вокруг меня, точно крылья ангелов; to fold – складывать/ся/, сгибать/ся/; заворачивать; обнимать); and her smile covered me softly with its light like the sun in heaven (ее улыбка мягко окутывала меня светом, будто солнце в небе; to cover – покрывать, накрывать).
