But the fact remains that through this hasty retreat he prevents the insight from "sinking in" and thereby deprives himself of the benefits it might mean for him.
Но факт остается фактом: своим поспешным отступлением он препятствует «погружению внутрь» и тем самым лишает себя преимуществ, которые оно могло бы ему принести.

And sinking into the sea, still warm and friendly and life-giving, is the sun that will soon turn traitor and obliterate all this innocent happiness.
А на горизонте погружается в море солнце, еще теплое, ласковое, животворное, солнце, которое вскоре вероломно испепелит безмятежное счастье.

He had nightmares about this place and the creatures it harbored for months after he damn near died sinking it, but never this real.
Видел в кошмарах судно и населявших его тварей после того, как пустил на дно, сам едва чуть не погибнув, но так реально никогда.

Her soul expanded; and something tender, holy, and good seemed half sinking into her heart, half springing up within it.
Душа ее раскрывалась, и что-то нежное, справедливое, хорошее не то вливалось в ее сердце, не то вырастало в нем.

He slept fully dressed with his head on his hand, his elbow sinking deep into the red down-cushions his host had arranged for him.
Он спал не раздеваясь, облокотившись на руку, утонувшую локтем в подложенные ему хозяином пуховые красные подушки.

With a sinking heart and a nervous tremor, he went up to a huge house which on one side looked on to the canal, and on the other into the street.
С замиранием сердца и нервною дрожью подошел он к преогромнейшему дому, выходившему одною стеной на канаву, а другою в -ю улицу.
