And it is perhaps from another impression which I received at Mont-jouvain, some years later, an impression which at that time was without meaning, that there arose, long afterwards, my idea of that cruel side of human passion called 'sadism.' We shall see, in due course, that for quite another reason the memory of this impression was to play an important part in my life.
Beharbada, zenbait urte gerora, Montjouvain ondoan nabaritutako beste zirrara batetik, orduan ilun gelditu bazitzaidan ere, sortua da nire baitan, askoz ere beranduago, sadismoari buruz dudan ideia ere. Aurrerago ikusiko denez, inpresio haren oroitzapenak, guztiz bestelako arrazoi batzuengatik, eragin garrantzitsua izango zuen nire bizitzan.
