A sad defeat because his love of music was so strong and he could hear it so well when others played it, for his ear was sensitive and finely tuned to the subtleties of composition and performance, but he was hopeless as a musician himself, an utter washout, which meant that he was now resigned to being a listener, an ardent, devoted listener, and his Aunt Mildred was clever enough to know how to feed that devotion, which surely counted as one of the essential reasons for being alive.
Triste derrota porque era un gran aficionado a la música, la sentía muy dentro cuando oía tocar a otros, porque poseía un oído sensible y en perfecta sintonía con las sutilezas de la composición y la ejecución, pero como músico era imposible, un absoluto desastre, lo que significaba que ya se había resignado a ser oyente, un apasionado y devoto oyente, y su tía Mildred era lo bastante inteligente como para alimentar aquella devoción, que sin duda era una de las cosas fundamentales de la vida.
