123 the trivial round
обыдёнщина, рутина жизни [из стихотворения английского поэта Дж. Кебла (J. Keble, 1792-1866): The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we ought to ask. (‘The Christian Year. Morning’)]In a few years these too, others taking their place, would stand alien as he stood; but the reflection brought him no solace; it merely impressed upon him the futility of human existence. Each generation repeated the trivial round. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. CXII) — Пройдет несколько лет, и те, кто пришли на его место, тоже станут здесь лишними; однако эта мысль не принесла утешения, она только еще яснее показала ему всю тщету человеческого существования. Каждое поколение повторяло все тот же незамысловатый путь.
