"At those borders, I glimpsed the perfect chasm between a dream and its consummation."

~ Kunal Basu, "Lenin's Cafe"
Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain, that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself. ˜ Another short fit of abstraction followed, when, shaking it off, she thus attacked her companion. ˜ [...] formed such a contrast with his early opinion on the subject [...] as time is for ever producing between the plans and decisions of mortals, for their own instruction, and their neighbours' entertainment. -- Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
