In Scott Moncrieff/Kilmartin’s translation:

as, with the heroic misgivings of a traveller setting out on a voyage of exploration or of a desperate wretch hesitating on the verge of self-destruction, faint with emotion, I explored, across the bounds of my own self-experience an untrodden path which for all I knew was deadly—until the moment when a natural trail like that left by a snail smeared the leaves of the flowering currant that drooped around me.

(I, 172)

In Lydia Davis’s translation:

while with the heroic hesitations of a traveler embarking on an exploration or of a desperate man killing himself, with a feeling of faintness, I would clear an unknown and I thought fatal path within myself, until a moment when a natural trail like that left by a snail added itself to the leaves of the wild black currant that leaned in toward me.

(I, 161)
