The heart gets tired too; and it falls apart bit by bit, like an old cloth wears out in the wash.


I Malavoglia (The House by the Medlar Tree, 1881) ch. 11, translated by Raymond Rosenthal


The heart gets tired too; and it falls apart bit by bit, like an old cloth wears out in the wash.

The heart gets tired too; and it falls apart bit by bit, like an old cloth wears out in the wash.

The heart gets tired too; and it falls apart bit by bit, like an old cloth wears out in the wash.

The heart gets tired too; and it falls apart bit by bit, like an old cloth wears out in the wash.
