penoso

EN But the truth is, you see that the idiot does not wish to degrade it; on the contrary, he would willingly tell a lie in its favor, if that would be admitted; but such is the miserable state of slavery to which he has reduced himself by his own puny distinction; for, as soon as he hops out of one of his little cells, he is under a necessity of hopping into the other.
GL Pero a verdade é, xa ve, que o idiota non quere degradala; polo contrario, de boa gana contaría unha mentira no seu favor, se se admitise isto; pero tal é o miserable estado de escravitude ó que se reduciu el mesmo pola súa propia penosa distinción; porque tan pronto como sae dunha das súas pequenas celas, está na necesidade de saltar na outra.
