Quote by Adrian Bell

“It was a day when, if a man travels, he cannot go slowly enough. At anything faster than a foot pace a man seems to lose life as he goes, on a day like this. So quick and prodigal is nature now. It would make of man a pilgrim. Not only daffodils and the wild arums sought notice, but the blue bird's eye tiny in the grass, the pink and intricate ground-ivy flower. In a cleared coppice perfect bright ovals of severance shone on the hazel butts, and told of expert work with a sharp tool.”

“Nenhum ser humano esquece o dia em que o pai morreu. Dizem que é o momento em que nos tornamos adultos e o futuro nos é confiado como a chave de uma mansão em que somos, enfim, herdeiros. Fingimos que assumimos a vida como senhores do nosso destino, mas a orfandade nada nos oferece a não ser a solidão dos que se descobrem entregues à sua morte.”
