Russian to English: The sun was at its zenith General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Russian Солнце было в зените. Медный от пыли диск висел в центре белесого, нечистого неба, ублюдочная тень корчилась и топорщилась под самыми подошвами, то серая и размытая, то вдруг словно оживающая, обретающая резкость очертаний, наливающаяся чернотой и тогда особенно уродливая. Никакой дороги здесь и в помине не было -- была бугристая серо-желтая сухая глина, растрескавшаяся, убитая, твердая, как камень, и до того голая, что совершенно не понятно было, откуда здесь берется такая масса пыли.
Translation - English The sun was at its zenith, a dust-burnished disc that hung at the apex of the pale, dirty sky. His shadow, evasive, writhed and bristled beneath the soles of his feet. One moment it would be dull and blurred, the next – as though alive, taking on a blackness and sharpness of outline that rendered it particularly monstrous. There was no road of any kind, just undulating, grey-yellow clay: dry, cracked, dead, hard as stone. It was so completely bare that it was hard to see where such a huge quantity of dust could have come from.
