русский term

"не думай о секундах свысока"

русский => английский Искусство/Литература Литература и поэзия
Это не по работе. Просто стало вдруг любопытно, как это перевести (в приложении к kudoZ). Speed matters/seconds do matter вроде как не передает оттенка "свысока", то есть наплевательского такого отношения.

don't look on seconds with an arr'gant air...

Can't think of the next line ... :)
Relatively speaking, one should be able to see Eternioty in a second just as clearly as in an hour (I guess 'hour' rhymed better... but we'll never know for sure, will we)
