George EliotThe Lifted Veil and Brother Jacob
George EliotThe time of my end approaches I have lately been subject to attacks of angina pectoris And in the ordinary course of things my physician tells me I may fairly hope that my life will not be protracted many months Unless then I am cursed with an exceptional physical mental character I shall not much longer groan under the wearisome burthen of this earthly existence If it were to be otherwise if I were to live on to the age most men desire and provide for I should for once have known whether the miseries of delusive expectation can outweigh the miseries of true provision For I foresee when I shall die Everything that will happen in my last moments Just a month from this day on September 20 1850 I shall be sitting in this chair in this study at ten o clock at night longing to die weary of incessant insight and foresight without delusions ans without hope Just as I am watching a tongue of blue flame rising in the fire And my lamp is burning low the horrible contraction will begin at my chest Yazar George Eliot Sayfa Sayısı 0 Çeviri Ebat 13X19 Basım Dili İNGİLİZCE Basım Tarihi Aralık 2020 Kağıt Cinsi 1 hamur Kredi Kartı Tek Çekim 0 00
