My roomate read this to me from Anna Karenina tonight and i loved it, so now you all are to be subjected to it! Much love, and most hopes that you do enjoy or profit in some way...
"But directly she opened her mouth, words of reproach, senseless jealousy, and everything else that had been torturing her during the half-hour she had sat motionless waiting at the window, burst from her. Then it was that he first clearly understood what he did not realize when leading her out of the church after the wedding: that she was not only very close to him but that he could not now tell where she ended and he began. He understood this by a tormenting sensation of clevage which he experienced at that moment. For an instant he was offended, but immediately knew he could nto be offended with her because she was himself. For a moment he felt like a man who, recieving a blow from behind, angrily and revengefully turns round to find his assailant and realizes that he has accidentally knocked himself, that there is no one to be angry with and that he must endure and try to still the pain.
