Tristana
“He was, however, a serious man, brought up in thoughtful solitude and in the habit of gauging everything as a way of foreseeing how things might turn out. He wasn’t the kind of man so easily intoxicated by joy that he would fail to see its reverse side. His clear understanding allowed him to analyze himself keenly and to examine his immutable self regardless of what deliriums or storms assailed it. The first thing he encountered during that analysis was the irresistibly seductive effect that th...is young Japanese lady exercised over him, a phenomenon that was like a sweet illness of which he did not wish to be cured. He considered it impossible to live without her multiple attractions, her ineffable sweetness, without the one thousand fascinating forms in which the divinity had clothed herself when she took on human shape.
