精彩摘录
- "我现在感觉，我当时的内心深处，装着很奇怪的另一个我自己，一个我自己的影子，就像一朵花正含苞待放，所以我就顺其自然，让他自然绽放，让这个影子永远消失。"
- "我一走进那间房，就立刻看出，她已经完全明白了。但是我还是看出一件事先没有料到的事儿。可怜的蒂娜小姐知道自己遭到失败，这种意识在她身上产生了一种罕见的变化，不过我一心尽想着耍弄谋略，摄取战利品，先前根本没有想到这件事。那时我才注意到这一点，我几乎说不上来这种变化怎样把我吓了一跳。"
- "I was beating about the bush, trying to be ingenious, wondering by what combination of arts I might be an acquaintance, when she offered this happy suggestion that the way to become an acquaintance was first to become a inmate."
- "One doesn't defend one's God: one's God is in himself a defense. The strange thing had been for me to discover in England that she was still alive: it was as if I had been told Ms. Siddons was, or Queen Carolina, or the famous Lady Hamilton, for it seems to me that she belonged to a generation as ex"
- "If I should sound that note first I should certainly spoil the game. I can arrive at the papers only by putting her off her guard, and I can put her off her guard only by ingratiating diplomatic practices. Hypocrisy, duplicity are my only chance. I am sorry for it, but for Jeffrey Aspern's sake I wo"
- ""John Cumnor is sure, and it would take me long to tell you how his conviction, or his very strong presumption-- strong enough to stand against the old lady's not unnatural fib-- has built itself up. Besides, he makes much of the internal evidence of the niece's letter." "The internal evidence?" "He"
- "Her face was not young, but it was simple; it was not fresh, but it was mild. She had large eyes which were not bright, and a great deal of hair which was not "dressed", and long fine hands which were-- possibly-- not clean. She clasped these members almost convulsively as, with a confused, alarmed "
- "There were contradictions like this in Tita Bordereau which, as I observed later, contributed to make her an odd and affecting person. It was the study of the two ladies to live so that the world should not touch them, and yet they had never altogether accepted the idea that it never heard of them."

用户评论
杂没看懂喃？！
拒绝新时代，同时也被新时代拒绝的老女人。
高水准的中篇杰作，几乎和《螺丝在拧紧》难分伯仲。心理分析，氛围营造，节奏掌控，各方面技艺可谓炉火纯青，既富古典诗意，又有悬疑鬼魅气息，火候把握得当，全程不泄气，中篇的篇幅刚刚好。
这就是亨利·詹姆斯，清心寡欲，追求绝对的灵魂自由，抒写人性的微妙，细腻的再现微观的内心。读他的书，要放慢下来，渐渐的体味。
对我而言典型的慢热，最初还以为会要变成教长的黑面纱。然而绿色面纱终是摘下，那双黑暗中的眼睛比我想象中还要意味深长。
不知道好在哪里反正挺好的
内心刻画细致入微，行文也优雅，能够感受到作者精雕细琢的艺术追求，但这种追求与最后呈现的作品面貌并不匹配。
2022/110 奇妙的故事结构和叙述逻辑，让我没分清看了两个故事
