SAINTS AND PATIENCE IN PHRASEOLOGY
I am constantly interrupted when I sit to write. I suppose that my family doesn´t think much of my work. I guess that for them, what I do is toy around with the computer. Enough to plague a saint , which I would translate as agota la paciencia a un santo . Well, I guess it could be worse. A prophet is without honor in his own country (Matthew 13.57) which in Spanish is rendered as nadie es profeta en su tierra . Vendrán tiempos mejores , there´s a good time coming (boys) when my efforts will be rewarded. (I do not truly believe this!)
