“I drew the curtains to conceal the sight of my father's farewell; my spite was sharp as broken glass.”
“Marianne had sharp, cold eyes and she was spiteful but her father loved her.”
“My smoothness is like jagged broken glass...”
“I'm really a very happy, contented little person in spite of my broken heart.”
“Farewell, my great one, my own, farewell, my pride, farewell, my swift, deep, dear river, how I loved your daylong splashing, how I loved to plunge into your cold waves.”
“And I am ashamed to write here that I felt more alive than ever, even though my heart was broken glass in my chest.”
