Simple words can mean everything, it all depends on how they are put together...

"...Words are like that, they deceive, they pile up, it seems they do not know where to go, and suddenly, because of two or three or four that suddenly come out, simple in themselves, a personal pronoum, an adverb, an adjective, we have the excitement of seeing them coming irresistible to the surface through the skin and the eyes and upsetting the composure of our feelings , sometimes the nerves that cannot bear it any longer, they put up with a great deal, they put up with everything, it was as if they were wearing armour, we might say.
