“Craft, unlike inspiration, is explicable, and hence learnable. Its moments can be slowed down, isolated into discrete choices. One choice after another, one word after another, watching all the moving parts doing their thing, even when you’re working with a tool as maddeningly fiddly as language.”
― Catching Fire: A Translation Diary

“Cristobalina, trostruka udovica, o kojoj se govorilo da ima papra u krilu, bila je najstarija kći Don Clementea. Ona je malog Azuleja, kojemu je majka umrla uskoro poslije poroda od neke nepoznate bolesti, odgojila kao prava majka.
Starac je o svojoj kćeri uvijek govorio:
“Cristobalina, ona je bumbar; leti preko brda i dolova, ali je ona, na kraju krajeva, slobodna žena i može raspolagati sa svojim tijelom kako god hoće.”
― Juyungo

“Дочь дона Клемента, Кристобалина, уже трижды была замужем, и мужчины за глаза называли её «вонючкой». Она занималась целительством. Её приёмный сын, крестник, остался без матери, умершей вскоре после родов от неизвестной болезни, и Кристобалина заботилась о нём, как настоящая мать.
Старик говорил так:
— Дочь моя любому мужчине сто очков вперёд даст. Правда, шатается где попало, но она свободна и может делать что ей вздумается.”

“Cristobalina, ki je bila trikratna vdova in so o njej govorili, da ima poper v kikli, je bila najstarejša hči dona Clementa. Malega Azuleja, kateremu je umrla mati kmalu po porodu zaradi neznane bolezni, je vzgojila kot prava mati.
Starec je govoril o svoji hčerki:
“Cristobalina je čmrlj, leta čez hrib in dol, ampak nazadnje je svobodna ženska in lahko razpolaga s svojim telesom, kakor hoče.”

“In front of the entrance to the Hall, he lit incense, reverently standing to the side of the copper cauldron, he folded his hands in prayer and bowed his head.
Then, he said within himself: May the Buddha be merciful, and grant me some light as to where I should seek.
Then he said within himself: May the Buddha be merciful, and tell me if there is any meaning at all to this seeking.
And then he said within himself: We do not know what you thought about the world. We misunderstand every one of your words. We are utterly lost.
And, to conclude, he added: Just as you once prophesied, dear, sweet, unforgettable Buddha.
The grandson of Prince Genji then lowered his hands, holding them tightly to his sides, raised his head, and bowed deeply, twice.”
