Elimde Elliot Engel'in "How Oscar Became Wilde" kitabı var. Herkese şiddetle tavsiye ederim. Ben okumaya doyamadım. Kitabın bir bölümü Dickens üzerine. Charles Dickens'ın hayatını okurken aklıma kazınan bu bölümü sizlerle de paylaşmak istedim. Tercüme esnasında kelimeler kaybolmasın diye bölümü olduğu gibi ve İngilizce yazıyorum.
Önce Miss Havisham'ı biraz anlatıyor.
"Miss Havisham was a wealthy young woman who was engaged to a young man. But on the morning of her wedding day, as she was dressing for the ceremony, at exactly twenty minutes to nine she received a devastating message from her fiancee, jilting her. Do you remember what she did? The moment she received the news of her abandonment she stopped all the clocks in her house, at twenty minutes to nine, never to run again. She closed all the drapes to ensure daylight would never enter as long as she lived...."
Ve şöyle devam ediyor...
" Now, none of us is likely to meet a Miss Havisham in our life. Her behavior is not normal, it is not anything that you would see in any human being, but that does not make it unrealistic. It is only unrealistic in that no one would ever behave thus, but it is exactly realistic to what happens to all of us emotionally, internally, mentally, in our feelings when we are devastated in some way."

Arka fonda şu cümleler kulağıma çalınırken kadehimi büyük umutlarımıza kaldırıyorum ...
The stranger sang a theme from someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall and no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall, when you came along...

Ingenue...
