The Secret History by Donna Tartt
5.0
“…she really was older, not the glancing-eyed girl I had fallen in love with but no less beautiful for that; beautiful now in a way that a less excited my senses than tore at my very heart”
“Mais, vrai, J'ai trop pleure! Les aubes sont navrantes.”
“…and my life which I had thought was lost, stretched out indescribably precious and sweet before me.”
“Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things - naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror - are too terrible to really grasp ever at all. It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realisation dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself - quite to one's surprise - in an entirely different world.”
