5ive Girls Quote

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?
