History: Round three

Source of version: 1 (current)

Original (from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe): The officers were satisfied. My _manner_ had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat, and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears: but still they sat and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct:--it continued and became more distinct:-- I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definitiveness--until, at length, I found that the noise was _not_ within my ears. xorxes: lei pulji cu se mansa i le mi se tarti ba'o birtygau py i mi mutce le ka surla i py zutse gi'e tavla fi loi slabu ca le nu mi gleki spuda i ku'i bazaku mi cinmo lo nu mi ca'o labybi'o kei gi'e djica lo nu py ba'o cliva i mi cortu le stedu gi'e se xanri lo nu lo se janbe cu nenri lei mi kerlo i ku'i py za'o zutse gi'e za'o tavla i le se janbe cu binxo lo satci zmadu i ri renvi gi'e binxo lo satci zmadu i mi zifre zmadu tavla tezu'e lo nu cirko le se cinmo i ku'i ri renvi gi'e zenba le ka satci ibi'ibo bazaku mi facki le du'u le savru ba'e na'e nenri lei mi kerlo and: The police were satisfied. My conduct had been verified by them. I was very much at my ease. As they sat talking about the same old stuff, I happily replied, but as time went on, my emotion was one of blanching, and I wished for the police to be gone. My head ached, and I imagined there to be ringing in my ears. But still the police sat and still they talked. The ringing grew more and more pronounced. I spoke more freely, so as to be rid of this feeling. But it persisted, getting ever more clear, and I realized that the noise was in fact not inside my ears. xod: .i le pulji mo'u djica .i P co'a birti tu'a le mi seltarti .i mi kufra cai .i ca'o le za'i P zutse je casnu le slabu kei mi gleki spuda .i ku'i mi ze'u cinmo le ka ce'u flira ciblu claxu gi'e djica le za'i P cliva .i mi cortu le stedu gi'e ganse le lizyseljanbe goi L .i ku'i P za'o zutse je casnu .i mi zenba L zu'e zi'o .i mi zenba le jei mi frili tavla kei zu'e mi tezu'e le pu'u rivbi L .i ku'i L stali .ibo mi zenba L zu'e zi'o .i mi co'a jimpe le du'u mi ganse L sepi'onai le kerlo evgenis: The policeman has got what he wanted. He is almost convinced of my good behaviour. I feel very relaxed. As he keeps sitting and chatting banalities I happily reply. Still, for a long while, I feel blood rushed from my face, and I want him to leave. My head aches and I feel like buzzing. Still, he keeps sitting and talking. The buzzing feeling grows. I am earnestly trying to speak freely to get rid of him. Still, the feeling persists and grows. I start to understand that it is not with my ears that I feel it. pier: .i le pulji cu snada fi le nu djica .i ko'a jibni birti le du'u mi xamgu tarti .i mi cinmo le ka tcesurla .i ca'o lenu ko'a ca'o zutse tavla le fadni kei mi gleki spuda .iku'i mi ze'u ganse lenu le ciblu cu rinci le mi flira .ije mi djica lenu ko'a cliva .i mi cortu le stedu gi'e ganse lo vrusli .i .oiro'i ko'a ca'o zutse je tavla .i le vrusli selganse cu zenba .i mi junri zukte lenu flecu tavla lenu ko'a fesycliva .iku'i le selganse cu renvi gi'e zenba .i mi co'a jimpe ledu'u mi ganse fi le mi na'e kerlo kreig: The police succeed because they want to. It nearly believes that I am a good behaver. I feel very relaxed. Continualy, the fact of its continually sit-speaking to the ordinaries is happily replying to me. But, for a long time, I sense that blood is draining from my face. And I want it to go away. I feel pain in the head and sense the noise-oscillations. I am anxious; it continually sits and talks. What the noise-oscillations sense is increasing. I act seriously, flowingly speaking to its wasteful departure. But that which is sensed survives and increases. I, on being born, sense by means of my things which are not really ears. noras: .i py. piso'amei birti jinvi le du'u mi xamgu tarti .i mi cinmo le ka mutce surla .i mi gleki spuda ca'o le nu py joi lei fadni cu zutse casnu .ibazubo ku'i mi lifri le nu le ciblu cu rinci le flira .ije mi djica le nu py. cliva .i mi cortu le stedu gi'e ganse le savru nu desku .i mi xanka .ije ranji le nu zutse gi'e tavla .i mi ganse le nu le savru nu slilu cy zenba .i mi junri gasnu le nu flecu tavla le festi nuncliva be le ciblu .iku'i le se ganse cu renvi gi'e zenba .i mi co'i le nu jbena cu ganse fi lo na'e kerlo greg: He almost certainly thought that I behaved well. I felt very relaxed. I answered happily while he and the regulars sat talking. Some time later, however, I felt the blood drain from my face and I wished he would leave. I had a headache and could feel loud shaking. I was nervous and continued sitting and talking. I could feel the loud vibration increasing. I make a serious attempt to talk fluidly to what the blood had left behind, but the feeling stayed and increased. At birth, I couldn't sense anything with my ears. tsali: le nanmu goi ko'a ni'o ko'a jinvi ju'oru'e le du'u mi clite tarti .i mi mutce surla .i mi gleki spuda ca le nu ko'a joi le di'i vitke cu zutse je simtavla .i ba za bo ku ku'i mi ganse le ka le ciblu cu rinci le mi flira .ije mi pacna le du'u ko'a cliva .i mi cortu fi le mi stedu gi'e ganse lo cladu ka desku .i mi xanka gi'e ca'o zutse je tavla .i mi ganse le ka le cladu ka desku cu zenba .i mi junri troci le nu flecu tavla le se cliva be le ciblu .ije ku'i le se ganse cu ranji gi'e zenba .i ca le nu jbena mi na'e kakne cu ganse fi le mi kerlo rab: He indeed believed that I behaved politely. I relaxed greatly. I happily responded when he and the regular guests sat and chatted. But later, I felt the blood drain from my face, and I hoped that he would leave. I got a headache and noticed a loud trembling. I was nervous, yet I still sat and talked. I felt the trembling increase. I seriously tried to talk flowingly to that which was left by the blood, but the feeling continued and increased. My ear was stimulated during my inability to give birth. -------------------- *((xorxes)). (jjllambias@hotmail.com) **English, Spanish, Esperanto **French *.((and)).
