"Kematian istri seorang pria seperti menebang pohon ek kuno yang telah lama menaungi rumah keluarga. Mulai sekarang sorotan dunia, dengan kepedulian dan perubahan-perubahannya jatuh ke hati duda tua itu, dan tidak ada yang dapat menghancurkan kekuatan mereka, atau melindunginya dari beban kemalangan.

It is as if his right hand were withered; as if one wing of his angel was broken, and every movement that he made brought him to the ground.
