1 hr confidence:
ganhasse força, tomasse fôlego, se preparasse Explanation: Pessoalmente, prefiro "tomasse fôlego", que produz associação entre chuva e vento e introduz o verbo escorregar. Em se tratando de Seamus Heaney e, especificamente, da unificação de Inglaterra e Irlanda, creio, porém, que você deve levar em conta também o sentido de "to gather head" em Shakespeare, que, conforme o léxico de A. Schmidt, é "" to assemble an army". Boa sorte, Kássia! |
