Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров

I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect – in terror. In this unnerved – in this pitiable condition – I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, fear.”

I learned, moreover, at intervals (я узнал к тому же, с перерывами = из отрывочных фраз), and through broken and equivocal hints (и из ломаных = косвенных

) – an influence which some peculiarities in the mere form and substance of his family mansion, had, by dint of long sufferance, he said, obtained over his spirit (влияния, которое обрели некоторые особенности формы и материи его семейного дома, как он сказал, по причине долгого воздействия; dint – вмятина, след от удара; to obtain – получить) – an effect which the physique of the gray walls and turrets (эффекта, который вид серых стен и башенок), and of the dim tarn into which they all looked down

(и мутного пруда, в который они все смотрели = в котором они все отражались), had, at length, brought about upon the morale of his existence (наконец оказали на дух его существования).
