Y era para no decirlo, para no pensarlo, que miraba la estufa repitiéndose a sí mismo que era la más hermosa estufa de Holanda, que observaba a mamá persuadiéndose de que era una mujer guapa, que miraba a su hija convenciéndose de que tenía unos ojos soñadores…
It had been to stop himself saying it, or even thinking it, that he had looked at the stove, repeating to himself that it was the best stove in Holland, that he had looked at Mama and persuaded himself that she was beautiful, and decided his daughter had dreamy eyes.

Yet drawing from some inner well of strength and understanding, his mind opened receptively to the images, expanding outward to embrace them, persuading him, or perhaps forcing him, to admit the reality of what he had been shown.

But he had to accept it.
