Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | English term or phrase: Would now the wind but had a body | Evo cijelog pasusa:
Would now the wind but had a body, but all the things that most exasperate and outrage mortal man, all these things are bodiless, but only bodiless as objects, not as agents. There’s a most special, a most cunning, oh, a most malicious difference!
(from: Moby Dick by Herman Melville)
I vjetar bi imao tijelo? Kada bi vjetar imao tijelo? |

| | Croatian translation:E, da vjetar ima tijelo! | Explanation:
Blaženi Internet. Pronašla sam da je citat iz 135. poglavlja, a kako imam kod kuće hrv. izdanje Moby Dicka, evo prijevoda (da ne kažem prepjeva) kojeg potpisuju Zlatko Gorjan i Josip Tabak:
"E, da vjetar ima tijelo! Ali sve ono što najljuće jedi smrtnika i vrijeđa, a tijela nema, a ipak tjelesnom se snagom na nj obara! Lukavština je to, velika prepredenost i zloba!"
