Edith Wharton Quotes
The Immense Accretion Of Flesh Which Had Descended On Her In Middle Life Like A Flood Of Lava On A Doomed City Had Changed Her From A Plump Active Little Woman With A Neatly-turned Foot And Ankle Into Something As Vast And August As A Natural Phenomenon. She Had Accepted This Submergence As Philosohpically As All Her Other Trials, And Now, In Extreme Old Age, Was Rewarded By Presenting To Her Mirror An Almost Unwrinkled Expanse Of Firm Pink And White Flesh, In The Centre Of Which The Traces Of A Small Face Survived As If Awaiting Excavation.
