Art/Literary - Psychology / scholarly article | | French term or phrase: pleurs hallucinés | From an article about a Kafka short story:
"Il sait que « l’écuyère fragile et poitrinaire » du « Spectateur de la galerie », qui a su réduire son cheval et en acclimater la sauvagerie mais ne saurait pourtant tourner « sans interruption pendant des mois sous les yeux d’un public infatigable », ne peut provoquer que les pleurs hallucinés du jeune spectateur."
It is my understanding that "pleurs hallucinés" does not so much mean "hallucinated weeping" as it "weeping brought about by a hallucinated experience." Does "hallucinatory weeping" work here? Or did I have to explain the idea in a more circumlocutionary way? |
