Well, quite softly, one day following another, a spring on a winter, and an autumn after a summer, this wore away, piece by piece, crumb by crumb; it passed away, it is gone, I should say it has sunk; for something always remains at the bottom as one would say-a weight here, at one's heart.
( Gustave Flaubert )
[ Madame Bovary ]
