Razum i osjećaji
Virginia Woolf o bračnoj ljubavi
Arnold Bennett says that the horror of marriage lies in its “dailiness.” All acuteness of a relationship is rubbed away by this. The truth is more like this: life — say 4 days out of 7 — becomes automatic; but on the 5th day a bead of sensation (between husband and wife) forms which is all the fuller and more sensitive because of the automatic customary unconscious days on either side. That is to say the year is marked by moments of great intensity. Hardy’s “moments of vision”. How can a relationship endure for any length of time except under these conditions?
(Arnold Bennett kaže da užas braka leži u njegovoj “rutini”. Sva užarenost odnosa se zbog toga izbriše. Stvari stoje ovako: život – recimo 4 dana od sedam – postaju automatski; ali petog dana (Petog dana!) stvori se zrno osjećaja (između muža i žene) koje je tim punije i osjetljivije zbog tipično automatskih nesvjesnih dana s obje strane. To je kao kad kažete da godinu obilježavaju trenuci velikog intenziteta. Hardyjevi “trenuci vizije”. Kako bi odnos mogao trajati osim pod tim okolnostima?) Virginia Woolf, supruga Leonarda Woolfa
