It sucks in fear and distress. There is great grinding of maladjusted parts--not unlike sand in a machine--and life, as is so often the case, ceases or goes lamely ever after.

She was not alive in the sense that Aileen Butler was, and yet she thought that she was very much alive. All illusion.英文原著 · 《The Financier》
