With a boldness for which I was afterwards blamed, I took the line throughout my lectures of making the apology and eulogy of nonculture; but, at the same time, in my private life, I was laboriously doing all I could to control, if not to suppress, everything about me and within me that in any way suggested it.
Nire bizitza berriztatzen eta antolatzen zen heinean eta Gothuen etika latzak erakartzen ninduen bitartean, irakastaldietan inkultura goraipatzen eta beraren apologia egiten saiatzen nintzelarik ausarki, gero ongi aurpegiratuko zidatena, nire baitan eta inguruan inkultura hura erakargarri bihur zezakeen oro menperatzen, deuseztatzen hobe, arduratzen nintzen kartsuki, berezko zerbaitek barneraginda.
