Is é an rud is trócaire ar domhan, dar liom, ná neamhábaltacht an aigne dhaonna a bhfuil ann go léir a chomhghaolú

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

Mairimid ar oileán soineanta an aineolais i lár fharraigí dubha na héigríochta

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

agus ní raibh sé i gceist againn dul ar thuras i bhfad

and it was not meant that we should voyage far

Is beag dochar a rinne na heolaíochtaí, gach ceann acu ag teannadh ina threo féin, dúinn

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

ach lá éigin beidh radharcanna uafásacha ar an réaltacht mar thoradh ar eolas dissociated a chur le chéile

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

agus beidh ár seasamh scanrúil laistigh den réaltacht seo soiléir dúinn

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

Agus rachaimid ar buile ón bhfoilsiú, nó éalóimid ón solas marfach go síocháin agus sábháilteacht na haoise nua dorcha.

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
