The "foreign woman " is an... «Journey By Moonlight»
AbdulNafis8 июня 2015The "foreign woman " is an element of young manhood, of footloose youth. What remains in later years we is the undying nostalgia, for in the footloose years we are still gauche and timid, and let slip the better opportunities. Mihaly had now lived for so long in Budapest that his lovers had all been from that city. The "foreign woman " now rather denoted his youth. And liberation : after Erzai, after the serious marriage, after so many serious years. An adventure. at last : something coming unexpectedly and moving towards an unforseen conclusion. Even Millicent's stupidity was attractive. In the deepest stupidity there is a kind of dizzying, whirlpool attraction, like death : the pull of the vacuum.
