As she often said, she would have let herself be devoured; it seemed so sweet to feel all this life cling to her and encompass her with the warmth of eider-down.
Она часто говаривала, что с охотой дала бы им себя съесть, – так приятно ей было чувствовать, как вокруг нее бьется жизнь, теплая, пушистая…

The apples and oranges had been devoured by the sons of counts and senators, and the four fourpenny-bits were promptly taken from me by Lambert and spent at the confectioner's on tarts and chocolates, of which I was not offered a taste.
Апельсины и пряники поели еще до моего прихода сенаторские и графские дети, а четыре двугривенных у меня тотчас же отнял Ламберт; на них накупили они в кондитерской пирожков и шоколаду и даже меня не попотчевали.

Even in those cities which seem to enjoy peace, and where the arts flourish, the inhabitants are devoured by more envy, care, and uneasiness than are experienced by a besieged town.
В городах, которые как будто наслаждаются благами и где цветут искусства, пожалуй, не меньше людей погибает от зависти, забот и треволнений, чем в осажденных городах от голода.

They devoured paw-paws and breadfruit and avocados, bought from coffee-colored natives who came alongside in nervous small boats; they felt the languor of the isles, and panted before they approached Barbados.
Ели папайю, и плоды хлебного дерева, и авокадо, купленные у кофейно-коричневых туземцев, подходивших к борту в маленьких вертлявых лодках; чувствовали тоску островов и с трепетом глядели на приближающийся Барбадос.
