Sin assumed a thousand guises, assailed him through his eyes and ears, flew boldly at his throat, leaped treacherously upon his shoulders, or stole torturingly into his bones.
Грех принимал тысячи форм, он входил через глаза, проникал сквозь уши, схватывал его открыто за горло, предательски вскакивал к нему на плечи, терзал его до самого мозга костей.

But, I remember, doubt sometimes assailed and perplexed him suddenly, often in the midst of the most enthusiastic fancies.
Но все-таки, помню, случалось, сомнения вдруг опять осаждали его, часто среди самого восторженного фантазирования, и снова сбивали его с толку.
