I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

“ses opinions le quittaient d’elles-mêmes après lui être venues sans qu’il prît la peine de les choisir ; il les adoptait comme les formes de ses chapeaux et de ses redingotes, parce que tout le monde les portait, et, vivant dans une société où une certaine activité intellectuelle devient obligatoire avec l’âge, les opinions lui étaient aussi nécessaires que les chapeaux.”

“« On ne se marie plus comme autrefois », pensaient et disaient toutes ces jeunes filles, et même les vieilles gens. Mais comment se marie-t-on alors maintenant ? C’est ce que la princesse n’arrivait pas à apprendre de personne. L’usage français qui donne aux parents le droit de décider du sort de leurs enfants n’était pas accepté, il était même vivement critiqué. L’usage anglais qui laisse pleine liberté aux jeunes filles n’était pas admissible. L’usage russe de marier par un intermédiaire était considéré comme un reste de barbarie ; chacun en plaisantait, la princesse comme les autres. Mais comment s’y prendre pour bien faire ? Personne n’en savait rien.”

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
