Nella difettosa esecuzione del piano ben disposto dell'universo raramente l'invito provoca l'arrivo di chi si invoca; raramente si incontra l'uomo da amare, quando viene l'ora per l'amore. La natura non dice troppo spesso "guarda" alla povera creatura nel momento in cui il guardare potrebbe portare a una lieta conclusione, nè risponde "qui" alla carne che grida "dove?"; finché tutto questo nascondersi e cercarsi diventa un gioco penoso senza mordente.

...you have torn my life all to pieces.. made me a victim, a caged bird!

The 'appetite for joy' which pervades all creation, that tremendous force which sways humanity to its purpose, as the ride sways the helpless weed, was not to be controlled by vague lucubrations over the social rubric

In considering what Tess was not, he overlooked what she was, and forgot that the defective can be more than the entire

old-fashioned machinery, which he feared would not enlighten him greatly on modern

rara vez el hombre digno de ser amado coincide con la hora de amar. Raramente dice la naturaleza «¡Mira!» al pobre ser humano en el instante en que hacerlo así puede conducirle a la felicidad; y pocas veces responde «Aquí» al grito de «¿Dónde?», hasta que ese juego del escondite degenera en un pasatiempo pesado y tedioso.
