As if the officer didn't exist. As if he were a ghost

As if Bugge has ...

Somehow I know

Like it was in the old days.

It was as though time had stopped.

We're in 1908.

You seemed far away.

Glowing as if on fire.

It felt like a revolution.

Its spathes are like the prickly pear.

Its fruit like the heads of demons.

its spathes are as the heads of Satans,

The fruit thereof is as though the hoods of the serpents.

The shoots of its fruit stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils)

Its fruits are like the devils heads.

Its spathes are like the heads of satans.

Its crop is as it were the heads of devils

Its spathes are as if they were devils heads.

its spathes are like the heads of satans

Its emerging fruit as if it was heads of the devils.

and its fruits are like the heads of devils.

Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.

and its fruits are like devils' heads.

The shoots of its fruit stalks are like the heads of devils

Time no longer existed.

It looks a lot like sabotage.

As if none of it had happened.

And it was also, of course, surreal.

I must be dreaming!

as if unable to take another step forward or turn back.

I don't understand her. It's as if it goes right over her.

Act as if you're his hunter.

My heart wants to sigh Like a chime that flies

We've got to make this look real.

Like sheltered eggs in a nest.

As if they were eggs, safely hidden.

As though they were eggs hidden.

(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.

As if they were closely guarded pearls.

so delicate as the hidden peel under an egg's shell.

(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).

as if they were hidden ostrich eggs.

as if they were hidden pearls.

As if they were delicate eggs, well protected.

who are as chaste as sheltered eggs.
