But desire of Christ conquered nature, and the thirst wherewith he thirsted for God bedewed the heat of thirst for water.英文原著 · 《Barlaam and Ioasaph》
Cash got up and went to the doorway, looking out over Bud's shoulder at the spiritless donkeys trailing in to water. Beyond them the desert baked in its rim of hot, treeless hills. Above them the sky glared a brassy blue with never a could. Over a low ridge came Monte and Pete, walking with heads drooping. Their hip bones lifted above their ridged paunches, their backbones, peaked sharp above, their withers were lean and pinched looking.
