Thus in two years’ time I had a thick grove; and in five or six years’ time I had a wood before my dwelling, growing so monstrously thick and strong that it was indeed perfectly impassable: and no men, of what kind soever, could ever imagine that there was anything beyond it, much less a habitation.
Al cabo de dos años tuve un espeso bosquecillo y, en cinco o seis, tenía un auténtico bosque frente a mi morada, que crecía tan desmedidamente fuerte y tupido, que resulta ba verdaderamente inexpugnable. No había hombre ni criatura viviente que pudiese imaginar que detrás de aquello había algo, mucho menos una morada.
