Last lines of "Puñal de claveles"

 Necesitaban dominarse para retener el impulso de sus corazones ansiosos de latir unidos, pero era preciso apresurar aquella carrera, de la que dependia toda su vida.

Solo respiraron al comprender que llevaban ya delantera bastante para poder escapar hacia otro continente, hacia la promesa de una vida nueva, olvidados de todo, cegados de luz, en una ingratitud suprema para el pasado y envueltos en la ola de aquella pasi6n duplicada por el triunfo sobre todos los convencionalismos y por el puñal afilado del aroma de los claveles. 

They needed to control themselves in order to hold back the impulse of their hearts to beat together, but it was necessary to rush along that road, from which all their lives depended. They could only breathe once they understood that they had enough of a head start to be able to escape to another continent, to the promise of a new life, forgetting everything, blinded by the light, with a supreme ingratitude toward the past and wrapped up in the wave of that passion duplicated by a triumph over all conventionalism and by the sharpened dagger of the aroma of the carnations.
