EN Other worshipful objects were content with worship; men, women, God, all let one kneel prostrate; but this form, were it only the shape of a white lamp-shade looming on a wicker table, roused one to perpetual combat, challenged one to a fight in which one was bound to be worsted.
PT Outros objectos veneráveis contentavam-se com a veneração; homens, mulheres, Deus, todos consentiam que nos prostrássemos de joelhos; mas essa forma, fosse ela tão só o contorno do quebra-luz branco luzindo sobre uma mesa de vime, eis que nos convocava para um perpétuo combate, nos desafiava para uma luta de que o mais certo era sairmos derrotados.

PT Stephen observava essa figura balouçante, tentando decifrar o sentido do sorriso irónico do padre; recordou-se de que, antes da sua partida para Clongowes, ouvira seu pai declarar que se podia reconhecer sempre um jesuíta pelo corte dos seus fatos.
