Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"Oh, that! . . . Madame is like a child." It was impossible to get
the bearing of that utterance from that girl who, as Dona Rita
herself had told me, was the most taciturn of human beings; and yet
of all human beings the one nearest to herself. I seized her head
in my hands and turning up her face I looked straight down into her
black eyes which should have been lustrous. Like a piece of glass
breathed upon they reflected no light, revealed no depths, and
under my ardent gaze remained tarnished, misty, unconscious.
