I have a longing for life, and I go on living in spite of logic. Though I may not believe in the order of the universe, yet I love the sticky little leaves as they open in spring. I love the blue sky, I love some people, whom one loves you know sometimes without knowing why.
Ved hjelp av et uslåelig språk er dette et rått forsøk på å skildre bevissthet i en alder hvor ulike sinnsforstyrrelser alle falt under paraplybegrepet "hysteria". De religiøse diskusjonene kan til tider bli litt i overkant for noen som har vokst opp i et sekulært samfunn, og skildringene av bevisstheten begynner å bære preg av bokens alder, men alt i alt fylt av gode filosofiske diskusjoner og en overraskende spennende handling.

This is a book I need to reread slowly. I am going to make a personal study out of it.

Some of the most iconic lines in literature come from this book so I get it.... but also, let's pay our writers their due so that we never again come to a time when they're paid per word, so I have to go through half a book before the plot starts actually happening.
