Father Drake
- Father Drake: Well, the placing of ideas in separate clauses, would have "I fear" - "vereor", alone, and then in another sentence there would be the thing that was to be feared, or desired - "ut hoc fiat" - "o that this might happen." "vereor ut hoc fiat" - Which you might think is "I fear that this might happen" - but actually means "I fear that this might not happen." - You see, paratactically it expresses a desire for something to happen, but syntactically it becomes the worry that it won't happen. Understand?
