A Convert to the Cause

----------------

Jesus had deplored, "Having eyes, see ye not?" Dano thought aloud and had a mind to whisper to the ears of many and many Korean translators and teachers of English, "Why can't you see, having two good eyes?" Dano was wondering oftentimes when there would come a time they would be able to see the true picture of the English language. Dano was also wondering what on earth they were teaching anyway at so many departments of English literature of the Korean universities.

"Sorry, don't know what came over me," he said. "Thought I was Jung for a moment," Brill's rendition of Jung--which had been remarkable--put Ferenczi in stitches but had left Freud unmoved. Clearing his throat, Brill directed our attention to the name of his publisher, Smith Ely Jelliffe, on the manuscript's title page. "Jelliffe runs the Journal of Nervous Disease," said Brill. "He's a doctor, rich as Croesus, very well connected, and another convert to the cause, thanks to me." (The Interpretation of Murder, Jed Rubenfeld, p.70) (The Korean version, p.104)

Dano's comments:
The exact meanings of the English words do not lie in the dictionary. In other words, the English words don't have fixed meanings anywhere in any form or in any dictionary. Rather, the meaning of a word is defined, regulated, extended, limited, and determined in the mutual and interactive relationships of the prose reality. A century-long time span, for which the English language has been introduced through the efforts of the Western Christian missionaries, hasn't taught that principle to the Korean population, which is really deplorable.

The bold-typed phrase another convert is not one who has changed religious beliefs for himself but another Freudian like Brill. To elaborate, another convert has something to do with Brill, Freud, and psychoanalysis. Brill was able to convince Jelliffe to become a Freudian. Brill says that he is credited with Jelliffe's conversion to psychoanalyst.
