Reincarnation, for frenzied Gibreel, was a term beneath whose shield many notions gathered a-babeling: phoenix-from-ashes, the resurrection of Christ, the transmigration, at the instant of death, of the soul of the Dalai-lama into the body of a new-born child...

Ну вот как это гениальное a-babeling, например, на русский перевести? Скажите мне, как?

Гибкость английского языка, щемящая зависть к оной.
