Quotation from: Nostromo: A Tale of the Seaboard

Written by: Joseph Conrad


On that impenetrable background, obliterating the lofty mountains by
the seaboard, she saw the slave of the San Tome silver, as if by
an extraordinary power of a miracle. She accepted his return as if
henceforth the world could hold no surprise for all eternity.


She rose, compelled and rigid, and began to speak long before the light
from within fell upon the face of the approaching man.


"You have come back to carry me off. It is well! Open thy arms,
Giovanni, my lover. I am coming."
