The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents

Die mees barmhartige ding in die wereld, dink ek, is die onvermoe van die menslike verstand om al sy inhoud te korreleer

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity

Ons woon op 'n rustige eiland van onkunde te midde van swart see van oneindigheid

and it was not meant that we should voyage far

en dit was nie bedoel dat ons ver moes reis nie

The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little

Die wetenskappe, wat elkeen in sy eie rigting inspan, het ons tot dusver min skade berokken

but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up terrifying vistas of reality

maar eendag sal die samevoeging van gedissosieerde kennis skrikwekkende uitsigte van die werklikheid oopmaak

and of our frightful position within this reality will become clear to us

en van ons skrikwekkende posisie binne hierdie werklikheid sal vir ons duidelik word

And we shall either go mad from the revelation, or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age

En ons sal of mal word van die openbaring, of vlug van die dodelike lig na die vrede en veiligheid van 'n nuwe donker eeu
