Kate Chopin: "Itu bukan keputus-asaan, tetapi baginya seolah-olah hidu...

"Itu bukan keputus-asaan, tetapi baginya seolah-olah hidup berlalu begitu saja, meninggalkan janji-janji yang dilanggar dan tidak terpenuhi. Namun ada hari-hari lain ketika dia mendengarkan, dituntun dan ditipu oleh janji-janji baru yang telah diulurkan oleh masa mudanya kepadanya."

--- Kate Chopin

Versi Bahasa Inggris

It was not despair, but it seemed to her as if life were passing by, leaving its promises broken and unfulfilled. Yet there were other days when she listened, was led on and deceived by fresh promises which her youth had held out to her.
