He was never without misery, and never without hope.
‘Have you ever,’ he inquired hesitantly of Yossarian that day in his tent as Yossarian sat holding in both hands the warm bottle of Coca-Cola with which the chaplain had been able to solace him, ‘been in a situation which you felt you had been in before, even though you knew you were experiencing it for the first time?’
Yossarian nodded perfunctorily, and the chaplain’s breath quickened in anticipation as he made ready to join his will power with Yossarian’s in a prodigious effort to rip away at last the voluminous black folds shrouding the eternal mysteries of existence.
‘Do you have that feeling now?’
Yossarian shook his head and explained that déjà vu was just a momentary infinitesimal lag in the operation of two coactive sensory nerve centers that commonly functioned simultaneously.
The chaplain scarcely heard him.
He was disappointed, but not inclined to believe Yossarian, for he had been given a sign, a secret, enigmatic vision that he still lacked the boldness to divulge.
There was no mistaking the awesome implications of the chaplain’s revelation: it was either an insight of divine origin or a hallucination; he was either blessed or losing his mind.
Both prospects filled him with equal fear and depression.
It was neither déjà vu, presque vu nor jamais vu.

Он страдал постоянно, он надеялся всегда.
It was possible that there were other vus of which he had never heard and that one of these other vus would explain succinctly the bafing phenomenon of which he had been both a witness and a part; it was even possible that none of what he thought had taken place, really had taken place, that he was dealing with an aberration of memory rather than of perception, that he never really had thought he had seen, that his impression now that he once had thought so was merely the illusion of an illusion, and that he was only now imagining that he had ever once imagined seeing a naked man sitting in a tree at the cemetery.
Возможно, что ничего из того, о чем он размышлял, в действительности не имело места, что это — всего лишь аберрация памяти, а не реальное ощущение, что на самом деле он никогда и не думал о том, что раньше видел то, о чем думал сейчас, что просто однажды он думал, что видел это, и его нынешнее впечатление, будто он когда-то о чем-то думал, — всего лишь иллюзия иллюзии и что теперь он просто вообразил, будто когда-то видел голого человека на дереве, неподалеку от кладбища.
