jane austen, pride and prejudice: "till this moment i never knew myself."

2 Upvotes

such a small sentence for such a huge realization. do you read this moment as mostly about elizabeth misjudging darcy, or about how much faith she had in her own first impressions?

i'd love to hear how others interpret it, especially whether the line feels different on a reread.

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde

9 Upvotes

"The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize."

From Ema, the Captive by César Aira

“He sat down on the grass and looked at the lake. The surface of the water seemed taut for some mysterious reason; there was something hidden beneath it, producing a delicious suspense.  
 
‘That’s how it is,’ thought Hual. ‘Many things lie hidden underwater: the sublime forms of beauty, which I cannot even imagine. And the worst of it is that now, right now, they are being made and unmade. Everything is irretrievable. And beauty always dissolves before it is seen.’
 
Then it occurred to him that perhaps there was nothing under the water.”
