Ah the eternal hope. We humans strove, we struggled out of the bog, and always there was the promise of a real stone floor in a hut not stuffed with smoke, of a bed with fewer fleas, of a suit of armor no one had peed in, of running water and a proper sewer, of two sets of clothes, of a table not wiped with a dirty rag, of food that was bacterially or virally trustworthy, of a hospital free of iatrogenic disease, of a translation that models fidelity for us.

How handsome the translation looks in that clean gown.
