“Manon died in the desert, but in the arms of the man who loved her with the the entire brilliance of his soul, who, when she was dead, dug a grave for her, and watered it with his tears, then buried his own heart within it.. While Marguerite, a Sinner like Manon, had died in a sumptuous bed... But in that desert of the heart, a more barren, a vaster, a more merciless desert, than that in which Manon had found her last resting place.” — Alexandre Dumas fils
Manon died in the desert, but in the arms of the man who loved her with the the entire brilliance of his soul, who, when she was dead, dug a grave for her, and watered it with his tears, then buried his own heart within it..
While Marguerite, a Sinner like Manon, had died in a sumptuous bed...
But in that desert of the heart, a more barren, a vaster, a more merciless desert, than that in which Manon had found her last resting place.
