Description




Quentin, que amaba no el cuerpo de su hermana, sino algún concepto de honor familiar y (él lo sabía bien), temporalmente suspendido en la frágil y diminuta membrana de su virginidad, semejante al equilibrio de una miniatura en la inmensidad de la esfera terrestre sobre el hocico de una foca amaestrada. Quien amaba, no la idea del incesto que no cometería, sino algún presbiteriano concepto de su eterno castigo: él y no Dios, podría arrojarse a sí mismo y a su hermana al infierno, donde eternamente podría protegerla y cuidarla para siempre jamás, invulnerable ante las llamas inmortales. Él que sobre todas las cosas amaba la muerte, y que quizá sólo amaba a la muerte, amó y vivió con deliberada y pervertida curiosidad, tal y como ama un enamorado que deliberadamente se reprime ante el prodigioso cuerpo complaciente, dispuesto y tierno de su amada, hasta que no puede soportarlo y entonces se lanza, se arroja, renunciando a todo, ahogándose.

Quentin, who loved not his sister's body but some concept of Compson honor precariously and (he knew well) only temporarily supported by the minute fragile membrane of her maidenhead as a miniature replica of all the whole vast globy earth may be poised on the nose of a trained seal. Who loved not the idea of the incest which he would not commit, but some presbyterian concept of its eternal punishment: he, not God, could by that means cast himself and his sister both into hell, where he could guard her forever and keep her forevermore intact amid the eternal fires. But who loved death above all, who loved only death, loved and lived in a deliberate and almost perverted anticipation of death as a lover loves and deliberately refrains from the waiting willing friendly tender incredible body of-his beloved, until he can no longer bear not the refraining but the restraint and so flings, hurls himself relinquishing, drowning.
