282
sorok tri; he briskly replied I had a sore throat. I wonder, by
the way, what would happen if I put on a longdistance call
from my desk right now? No answer? No such country? Or
the voice of Ustin saying “Moyo pochtenietse!” (the
ingratiating diminutive of “my respects”?» (V. N., 235).
В качестве примера ностальгического варианта обра
тимся к той части мемуаров, где писатель вспоминает сча
стливые, озаренные светом любви к своей жене и малень
кому сыну прогулки по паркам и садам центральной Евро
пы и внезапно прерывает повествование вопросом, обра
щенным к жене:
«Graded gardens on hillsides, a succession of terraces
whose every stone step ejected a gaudy grasshopper, dropped
from ledge to ledge seaward, with the olives and the
oleanders fairly toppling over each other in their haste to
obtain a view of the beach. There our child kneeled
motionless to be photographed in a quivering haze of sun
against the scintillation of the sea, which is a milky blur in
the snapshots we have preserved but was, in life, silvery
blue, with great patches of purpleblue farther out, caused
by warm currents in collaboration with and corroboration of
(hear the pebbles rolled by the withdrawing wave?) eloquent
old poets and their smiling similes» (V. N., 308).
В риторических эмотивных вкраплениях большую
роль играют модальные глаголы и выражения, а также
различные интенсификаторы:
«There is also keen pleasure (and, after all, what else
should the pursuit of science produce?) in meeting the riddle
of the initial blossoming of man’s mind by postulating a
voluptuous pause in the growth of the rest of nature, a
lolling and loafing which allowed first of all the formation of
Homo poeticus – without which sapience could not have been
evolved» (V. N., 298).
