Quote by Kayte Nunn

“Elizabeth gazed at the dress. It was one of her favorites, cut from pale-pink silk damask, with a tight-fitting bodice that sat low on her shoulders, designed to show her creamy décolletage to its best advantage. Silk-covered buttons fastened at the back and a sumptuous bustled skirt was caught up in a bow to reveal ivory satin beneath. Ostrich feathers, dyed to match the damask, waved at each capped sleeve.”

“Pero pronto se convence de que no es así. No se trata, en su caso, de someterse y sobrevivir. Si ha seguido adelante durante tanto tiempo no fue por cobardía sino por esperanza: el anhelo de un hecho trascendente: el amor. Porque el amor, lo sabía, finalmente le abriría una perspectiva nueva de la existencia. Está enamorado. El amor lo recupera a uno de toda abyección.”
