This is the tale of the Abbess Radegunde and what happened when the Norsemen came. I tell it not as it was told to me but as I saw it, for I was a child then and the Abbess had made a pet and errand boy of me, although the stern old Wardress, Cunigunt, who had outlived the previous Abbess, said I was more in the Abbey than out of it and a scandal.

Кажется мне, что тут может быть композитный образ: острые зубы и лиловая помада на губах — существует оттенок цвета "шотландский чертополох" Thistle Purple. У цветка чертополоха острые лепестки и в середине бывает белое пятнышко.

So it was with the woman who had been Radegunde. She did not change; it was still Radegunde's gray hairs and wrinkled face and old body in the peasant woman's brown dress, and yet at the same time it was a stranger who stepped out of the Abbess Radegunde as out of a gown dropped to the floor. This stranger was without feeling, though Radegunde's tears still stood on her cheeks, and there was no kindness of joy in her. She got up without taking care of her dress where the dirty rushes stuck to it; it was as if the dress were an accident and did not concern her. She said in a voice I had never heard before, one with no feeling in it, as if I did not concern her, or Thorvald Einarsson either, as if neither of us were worth a second glance:

цитата

Случалось ли вам бывать при дворе могучего короля либо ярла и слушать рассказчиков? Особенно искусные не просто плетут историю, но и рисуют героя движениями лица и тела, отчего, дослушав концовку, ощущаешь огромное потрясение, потому как вжился и забыл, что перед тобой лишь рассказ и рассказчик, и кажется, будто перестал существовать живой человек.

Так и с Радегундой. Она не изменилась: всё те же седые волосы, морщинистое лицо и старое тело в буром крестьянском платье, но в то же время передо мной была незнакомка, скинувшая с себя настоятельницу Радегунду, будто плащ. Эта незнакомка не ведала, что такое чувства, хотя слёзы Радегунды ещё блестели у неё на щеках, и была лишена милой добросердечности аббатисы. Она встала и, не позаботившись отряхнуть платье от грязного камыша, будто то было чем-то случайным и совершенно её не заботило, произнесла голосом, которого я никогда не слыхал: совершенно холодным, словно её не волную ни я, ни Торвальд, словно мы оба не стоим второго взгляда.

цитата

When they wheel in the cradle where she rests, she always thinks—for a bare, suspended moment—that it will be all right, that it will all end well—and then nausea tightens around her, and the white and stark walls seem to press down on her, unbearably sharp, a faint memory of Third Aunt and Cousin Lua asleep, and the incessant noise of machinery monitoring her, drips and feeds hooked into her broken, disconnected limbs.

She’s spread out her reserves of food on the overlarge armrests: rice flour buns, bread stuffed with cucumber and steamed sausage, and slices of fried, crispy fruit ranging from durian to pineapple.

And the rest? Three days after the Norseman left, Sibihd got back her wits and no one knew how, though I think I do! And as for Thorvald Einarsson, I have heard that after his wife died in Norway he went to England and ended his days there as a monk but whether this story be true or not I do not know. I know this: they may call me Happy Radulf all they like, but there is much that troubles me. Was the Abbess Radegunde a demon, as the new priest says? I cannot believe this, although he called her sayings nonsense and the other half blasphemy when I asked him. Father Cairbre, before the Norse killed him, told us stories about the Sidhe, that is, the Irish fairy people, who leave changelings in human cradles; and for a while it seemed to me that Radegunde must be a woman of the Sidhe when I remembered that she could read Latin at the age of two and was such a marvel of learning when so young, for the changelings the fairies leave are not their own children, you understand, but one of the fairy folk themselves, who are hundreds upon hundreds of years old, and the other fairy folk always come back for their own in the end. And yet this could not have been, for Father Cairbre said also that the Sidhe are wanton and cruel and without souls, and neither the Abbess Radegunde nor the people who came for her were one blessed bit like that, although she did break Thorfinn's neck---but then it may be that Thorfinn broke his own neck by chance, just as we all thought at the time, and she told this to Thorvald afterwards, as if she had done it herself, only to frighten him. She had more of a soul with a soul's griefs and joys than most of us, no matter what the new priest says. He never saw her or felt her sorrow and lonesomeness, or heard her talk of the blazing light all around us---and what can that be but God Himself? Even though she did call the crucifix a deaf thing and vain, she must have meant not Christ, you see, but only the piece of wood itself, for she was always telling the Sisters that Christ was in Heaven and not on the wall. And if she said the light was not good or evil, well, there is a traveling Irish scholar who told me of a holy Christian monk named Augustinus who tells us that all which is, is good, and evil is only a lack of the good, like an empty place not filled up. And if the Abbess truly said there was no God, I say it was the sin of despair, and even saints may sin, if only they repent, which I believe she did at the end.
