The eruption of Rain.

Rome.

Justine and Dane. Ying and Yang.

You're about Justine the same I was about you.

Decades of subtle glances, grimaces, and thoughts left unsaid. Passion, devotion, love. Sin, shame, and regret. Two worlds finally collide, realising they were headed for the mirror all along. All that is left is the sweet, transcient bliss that the looming doom threatens to inevitability and irrevocably take away. Time and time again.

There are only two places in the world where you belong to me ahead of God-here on Matlock, and on Drogheda.
I'll beat God yet. He is mine, the part of him the Church can never have. I'll have his son and he'll be only mine!
The Greeks say when someone is loved so, beyond reason, the God's get jealous and strike down with all their might.

To hell with the baby? Wonder what would you have said if the clind was yours, Archbishop De Bricassart.

Married, deceived, deflowered, conned, and set to work far away from home. Ha dear Meggie, you have so much growing up to do!

The plot thickens

Meggie vows not to love one child more than the rest. Careful there, Meggie.

Damn. Damn damn damn. He sold her. So be it. But why tangle with her gentle heart even more? You are the adult. Have some restraint. Have you no shame, have you no mercy?! What a selfish kind of love, masked as pure and holy. The old spider saw right through you, Ralph. Right through you! You keep lying to yourself so you can sleep at night. They may be simple but with stronger conviction than you'll ever dream of.

Meggie is a woman.

Ahh the turbulence of Frank's world and the Madonna whore paradox.

She was too busy watching the priest and Meggie.

Oh, Frank! Oh, how much my heart aches!

Oh, Frank!

A feverish read.

He tried to recall his best moments with her but they were for ever poisoned. He could think of her only as triumphant, having carried out the threat of inflicting on him totally useless but irrevocable remorse.

The candle, by the light of which she had been reading that book filled with anxieties, deceptions, grief, and evil, flared up with a brighter light, lit up for her all that had before been dark, crackled, began to flicker, and went out forever.

The way Tolstoy masterfully describes the human condition and internal turmoil is absolutely incredible.

A son is born. What a scene.

Two worlds collide.

P. 661 the way Kitty checks out Levin to see what impression does the person she loved leave to an observer in the crowd - masterfully crafted.
