„Was sie am meisten entschlossen waren zu schlucken, waren meine Mitgeschöpfe. Darin waren sie gnadenlos.“
Original
What they were most determined for me to swallow was my fellow creatures. In this they were without mercy.
The Unnamable (1954)
Kontext: What they were most determined for me to swallow was my fellow creatures. In this they were without mercy. I remember little or nothing of these lectures. I cannot have understood a great deal. But I seem to have retained certain descriptions, in spite of myself. They gave me courses on love, on intelligence, most precious, most precious. They also taught me to count, and even to reason. Some of this rubbish has come in handy on occasions, I don’t deny it, on occasions which would never have arisen if they had left me in peace. I use it still, to scratch my arse with.
