We knew the darkest comedy — that when this man could no longer run from, he found it convenient, redemptive, to stand for. So we knew — because we redeemed. A kind of justice had been served, and it reeked of brimstone.我們知道最黑暗的喜劇——當這個人無法再逃避時，他發現挺身而出是方便的、救贖的。 所以我們知道——因為我們救贖了。 一種正義得到了伸張，而且充滿了硫磺的臭味。
In
the memoir, Mr. Hughes was as poetically descriptive about his brush
with death as he was about the art he loved: “At one point I saw Death.
He was sitting at a desk, like a banker. He made no gesture, but he
opened his mouth and I looked right down his throat, which distended to
become a tunnel: the bocca d’inferno of old Christian art.”
