All true feeling is in reality untranslatable. To express it is to betray it. But to translate it is to dissimulate it.
“Today, there’s no present to people. Nobody wants to listen for very long to anybody talking, except in certain places — in a bar, in a confessional, or maybe a shrink’s office. All they say is, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Men don’t even tell dirty jokes much anymore.”
Barry Hannah
