Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


And even then I didn't know whom I had there, opposite me, busy now
devouring a slice of pate de foie gras. Not in the least. It
never entered my head. How could it? The Rita that haunted me had
no history; she was but the principle of life charged with
fatality. Her form was only a mirage of desire decoying one step
by step into despair.


Senor Ortega gulped down some more wine and suggested I should tell
him who I was. "It's only right I should know," he added.
