A desire [to throw over reality a light (that never was)] might give way 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].

渴望1可能会突然让步于渴望2
渴望1：照亮现实（从来没有过）
渴望2：我们可能认为一个小说科学家来精准和实际的记录一朵花的结构与纹理

A desire to throw over reality a light that never was（a desire的定语） might give way（谓语） abruptly to the desire （宾语）on the part of what we might consider a novelist scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.（the desire的定语）
句子主干已经标出了，我尝试翻译一下，未必准确：一种想对现实发表从未有过的的见解的欲望，有可能突然被另一种欲望取代，而这种欲望部分上是我们认为一个科幻小说家精确和具体记录一朵花的结构和纹理。
