  1. E.M. Forster _ Howards End

    No, it is better not to risk a second interview. I shall always look back on this talk with you as one of the finest things in my life. Really. I mean this. We can never repeat. It has done me real good, and there we had better leave it.""That's rather a sad view of life, surely.""Things so often get spoiled.""I know," flashed Helen. "But people don't.

  3. E.M. Forster _ Howards End

    How wide the gulf between Henry as he was and Henry as Helen thought he ought to be! And she herself-hovering as usual between the two, now accepting men as they are, now yearning with her sister for Truth. Love and Truth-their warfare seems eternal. Perhaps the whole visible world rests on it, and if they were one, life itself, like the spirits when Prospero was reconciled to his brother, might vanish into air, into thin air.

    London was beginning to illuminate herself against the night. Electric lights sizzled and jagged in the main thoroughfares, gas-lamps in the side streets glimmered a canary gold or green. The sky was a crimson battlefield of spring, but London was not afraid. Her smoke mitigated the splendour, and the clouds down Oxford Street were a delicately painted ceiling, which adorned while it did not distract. She has never known the clear-cut armies of the purer air. Leonard hurried through her tinted wonders, very much part of the picture.
