It was a self-absorption with no comfort, a demand for expression with no outlet, a sense of time rushing by, ceaselessly and wastefully—assuaged only by that conviction that there was nothing to waste, because all efforts and attainments were equally valueless.

这是一种没有安慰的自我专注,一种没有出口的表达需求,一种时间在不停地、浪费地流逝的感觉——只有被没有什么可以浪费的信念所缓解,因为所有的努力和成就都同样没有价值。
