The Devil's Right Hand
Saintcrow, Lilith
© 2007 by Lilith Saintcrow
But man goes on pretending that he knows, because it is very hurting to know that you don't know, it is very ego-shattering to know that you don't know: The ego pretends, the ego is the greatest pretender there is; it pretends, it says 'Yes, I know.'
Но человек продолжает делать вид, что знает; знать, что не знаешь, очень мучительно; знание, что ты ничего не знаешь, бьет по "я". "Я" притворяется. "Я" — величайший притворщик на свете, он строит важную мину: "Да, как же, конечно, знаю".

He tried to remember how the meadows and the fields and yard had looked from the porch, with the white moonlight shattering on the whiteness of the columns, and how the roses had filled the air with the distilled sunshine of their scent.
Он пытался представить себе, как в ту ночь выглядели луга, поля, двор, на которые он смотрел с веранды, как лунный свет отражался от белых колонн, как дурманил тонкий запах роз, впитавших в себя жар солнца.
