There is a marked difference between decreeing light in chaos, and lighting the gas in a metropolitan back-parlour with a box of patent matches; and do what we will, there is always something made to our hand, if it were only our fingers.
在混沌中命光明诞生,与用一盒特制火柴点亮都市后客厅的煤气灯,两者大不相同;无论我们做什么,总有现成的东西供我们使用,哪怕只是自己的手指。
