There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge, and fox, and squirrel.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.

    Es gibt keine Höhle auf der weiten Welt, um einen Schurken zu verstecken. ein Verbrechen begehen und die Erde besteht aus Glas. begehen Sie ein Verbrechen, und es scheint, als ob eine Schneedecke auf den Boden gefallen wäre, wie im Wald die Spur jedes Rebhuhns, Fuchses und Eichhörnchens zu enthüllen.

    no hay guarida en el ancho mundo para esconder a un pícaro. comete un crimen y la tierra se hace de vidrio. comete un crimen, y parece como si una capa de nieve cayera sobre el suelo, tal como revela en el bosque la huella de cada perdiz, zorro y ardilla.

    il n'y a pas de repaire dans le vaste monde pour cacher un voleur. commettre un crime et la terre est faite de verre. commettent un crime, et il semble qu'une couche de neige tombe sur le sol, telle que révèle dans les bois la trace de chaque perdrix, et renard, et écureuil.

    koca dünyada bir haydutu saklayacak bir sığınak yoktur. suç işler ve dünya camdandır. bir suç işliyor ve sanki bir kar tabakası yere düşmüş gibi görünüyor, ormanda her kekliğin, tilkinin ve sincapın izini ortaya çıkarıyor.
