"Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and whither dismally with age."

This was really great, exactly what I needed and I read it in one sitting. You can tell that the characters are holding back and when they finally reveal what they are thinking, it’s so powerful. The setting was also very well described, I felt so cold in the hotel room at the end just by the descriptions.

In my opinion, this is the single greatest piece of fiction ever written in the English language. I was moved to tears by the end of it, something no other work of prose has ever managed to do.

É um conto (a caminho de novela) com apenas dois defeitos - o segundo consequência do primeiro: é curto e não alcança tudo o que podia. A escrita de Joyce acentua a sensação de brevidade do texto e fica a apetecer mais. Ulisses, um dia?

"why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?"
'his soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.'

this was surprisingly entertaining??
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
