流沙

1.    （This is ）A desire to throw over reality a light  that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower .(5++)复杂+倒装+省略;

（这是一种）照亮现实的欲望，此欲望从来就不会唐突的取代后面的那种欲望，后者是我们可以将其部分的理解为一个兼任小说加和科学家的人想要去准确并具体的记录下一朵花的结构和文理的那种意义上的欲望。

流沙

"that never was might give away abruptly to"，这里的结构怎么看着这么怪？

携隐

参见杨鹏难句。第一句讲的就是这一句话。
