The mandrakeمهرگیاه

او همان حرارت عشقی مهرگیاه را در من تولید کرد.

She produced in me that same heat of the love of the mandrake.

مثل این بود که تن او را از آغوش جفتش بیرون کشیده باشند؛ مثل مادهٔ مهرگیاه بود که از بغل جفتش جدا کرده باشند.

was as though her body had been pulled from her mate’s embrace; she was like the female mandrake separated from her mate.

لباسم را کندم رفتم روی تختخواب پهلویش خوابیدم. مثل نر و مادهٔ مهرگیاه به‌هم چسبیده بودیم.

I took off my clothes, went onto the bed and lay beside her. We were pressed together like the male and female mandrake.

اصلاً تن او مثل تن مادهٔ مهرگیاه بود که از نر خودش جدا کرده باشند و همان عشق سوزان مهرگیاه را داشت.

Indeed her body was like the body of a female mandrake separated from its male, and it had that same burning love of the mandrake.
