But he, too, was bleeding, for his ears were suffering cruel lacerations; the dogs held on, and his tawny eyes were raised to the sky with a pitiable look of appeal. Not a cry, not a sigh or a groan escaped from a single combatant; the three animals formed a group as motionless as if they had been carved in wood.

One after another these banished recollections returned to his memory as he listened to Alaric's rebuking words reviving past infirmities, opening old wounds, inflicting new lacerations.
