Es sei, »als gebe man einem blinden Mann Augen«38, schrieb Darwin in sein Tagebuch.
It was ‘like giving to a blind man eyes’, Darwin wrote in his journal.
»Keinen«, sagte der Alte aufrichtig. Uriel bemerkte jedoch, daß des alten Mannes Augen in heftigem Feuer glühten, wie er es nie zuvor bei einem Menschen gesehen hatte – im Feuer des Glaubenseifers; die erste Regung des Kanaaniters war daraufhin, sich von dem Hebräer wie von etwas ihm völlig Fremden zurückzuziehen.
“None,” the patriarch said honestly, but Uriel noticed that the old man’s eyes glowed with an intense fire such as he had never seen before—the passionate fire of zealotry—and at first the Canaanite was inclined to draw back from the Hebrew, as one might from a thing unknown, but then the fires subsided and he saw only Zadok, a reasonable petitioner.
