Understand all things, that when you meet an infidel or an evil- doer you may be able to answer him, and he may not lead you astray with his frantic words, or confound your unripe thoughts.

I met a fellow the other day who told me that it was impossible that shadows on white sand should be blue,-ultramarine,-as they are. I found out, later, that the man had been as far as Brighton beach; but he knew all about Art, confound him.
Один из них заявил мне, что невозможно, чтобы на белом песке были голубые — ультрамариновые — тени, как мы это видим, и впоследствии я узнал, что этот господин никогда не уезжал дальше Брайтона, но он, видите ли, считал себя знатоком искусства.

He had turned his back on his upright, well-organized, orderly future; he knew that he was flinging himself headlong into a gulf . . . but that did not confound him.
Он махнул рукой на все свое правильное, благоустроенное, добропорядочное будущее: он знал, что он бросается очертя голову в омут, куда и заглядывать не следовало... Но не это его смущало.
