the meaning of the passage
hi,
would you please give me the meaning of the passage below?
he becomes not so much an exponent of illusionless hedonism as a psychological study who is brought, through a gratuitous, sun-dazzled act and its merciless social consequences, to a rapport with his dead mother and a recognition of his fraternity with the gentle indifference of the world- a palpable improvement upon Gilbert's grander phrase "the benign indifference of the universe".
thanks in advance

Re: the meaning of the passage
Hi Ever Student
It would be helpful, in future, if you provide some details of context e.g:
The Translation studies reader - Google Books
Regards
R21
PS I'm afraid that inordinately long academic texts such as this, with complex vocabulary, leave me, personally, somewhat cold.
