Williwaw28 мая 2013 г.Читать далееTess [of the d'Urbervilles] was evidently another of those unlucky pushovers, like the Last Duchess, and like Ophelia - we'd studied Hamlet earlier. These girls were all similar. They were too trusting, they found themselves in the hands of the wrong man, they weren't up to things, they let themselves drift. They smiled too much. They were too eager to please. Then they got bumped off, one way or another. Nobody gave them any help.
Why did we have to study these hapless, annoying, dumb-bunny girls? I wondered. Who chose the books and poems that would be on the cirriculum? What use would they be in our future lives? What exactly were we supposed to be learning from them?"My Last Duchess"

HairsprayQueen2 января 2016 г.“She wasn't ready to settle down, she told her friends. That was one way of putting it. Another was would have been that she had not found anyone to settle down with. There had been several men in her life, but they hadn't been convincing. They'd been somewhat like her table - quickly acquired, brightened up a little, but temporary. The time for that kind of thing was running out, however. She was tired of renting.”

It's such a beautiful day. The air smells of thyme, the fruit trees are in flower. But this means nothing to the barbarians; in fact, they prefer to invade on beautiful days.
