Was it not a book that sent Paolo and Francesca for ever wandering on that stormy wind of passion and of death?
The Quest of the Golden Girl by le Gallienne, Richard View in context
He considered with some irony the philosophy which he had developed for himself, for it had not been of much use to him in the conjuncture he had passed through; and he wondered whether thought really helped a man in any of the critical affairs of life: it seemed to him rather that he was swayed by some power alien to and yet within himself, which urged him like that great wind of Hell which drove Paolo and Francesca ceaselessly on.
Of Human Bondage by Maugham, W. Somerset View in context
