I sit here and read how Rome went to hell. Fiddlersburg is going to hell. The country looks like it's going to hell in a hand-basket. So it's a sort of satisfaction to read about Rome. (R. P. Warren, ‘Flood’, ch. 26) — я сижу здесь, в Фиддлерсберге, и читаю о том, как Древний Рим пошел ко всем чертям. Фиддлерсберг тоже идет ко всем чертям. Похоже, что и вся страна идет туда же. Вот и утешаешь себя, читая о Древнем Риме.
