Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров / Edgar Allan Poe. The Fall of the House of Usher

I well remember that suggestions arising from this ballad (я хорошо помню, что ассоциации, возникшие из этой баллады; suggestion – предложение; предположение; ассоциация) led us into a train of thought (привели нас к ходу мысли; to lead – вести) wherein there became manifest an opinion of Usher’s (в котором проявилось: «стало проявленным» мнение Ашера) which I mention not so much on account of its novelty (которое я упоминаю не столько по причине его новизны), (for other men have thought thus,) (ибо /и/ другие люди думали так) as on account of the pertinacity with which he maintained it (сколько по причине упорства, с которым он придерживался его: «поддерживал»).

This opinion, in its general form, was that of the sentience of all vegetable things (это мнение, в своем общем виде, было мнением о сознании всех растительных существ = растений). But, in his disordered fancy, the idea had assumed a more daring character (но в его беспорядочной фантазии эта идея приобрела более смелый характер), and trespassed, under certain conditions, upon the kingdom of inorganization (и вторгалась, в некоторых условиях, в царство неорганизованного). I lack words to express the full extent, or the earnest abandon of his persuasion (мне не хватает слов, чтобы выразить полный масштаб или серьезную увлеченность его убеждения; to lack – не иметь; иметь недостаточно; abandon – поглощенность). The belief, however, was connected (as I have previously hinted) with the gray stones of the home of his forefathers (эта вера, впрочем, была связана, как я намекал раньше, с серыми камнями дома его праотцов).
