not to frame, but to hide

“Before Archimboldi left, after they’d had a cup of tea, the man who rented him the typewriter said:

‘Jesus is the masterpiece. The thieves are minor works. Why are they there? Not to frame the crucifixion, as some innocent souls believe, but to hide it.’ ”

(Roberto Bolaño, 2666, trans. Natasha Wimmer, p. 790.)
