Ulysses, es que me sorprendió la sencillez de Daisy Miller, por ejemplo, y el otro día de pronto me topé con The beast in the jungle y fue descorazonador. Pero hay que perseverar!

THE MOTE IN THE MIDDLE DISTANCE

It was with the sense of a, for him, very memorable something that he peered now into the immediate future, and tried, not without compunction, to take that period up where he had, prospectively, left it. But just where the deuce had he left it? The consciousness of dubiety was, for our friend, not, this morning, quite yet clean-cut enough to outline the figures on what she had called his "horizon," between which and himself the twilight was indeed of a quality somewhat intimidating. He had run up, in the course of time, against a good number of "teasers;" and the function of teasing them back—of, as it were, giving them, every now and then, "what for"—was in him so much a habit that he would have been at a loss had there been, on the face of it, nothing to lose.
No sé si habéis leído, por cierto, una novela de Colm Toibin sobre Henry James que me impresionó muchísimo hace unos meses y se ha convertido en uno de mis libros favoritos. Es alucinante la elegancia jamesiana del estilo de Toibin y sobre todo lo creíble del personaje que dibuja (además de que algunos momentos son emocionantísimos).
