"The remembrance of that life is fraught with so much pain to me, with so much mental suffering and want of hope, that I have never had the courage even to examine how long I was doomed to lead it.Whether it lasted for a year, or more, or less, I do not know. I only know that it was, and ceased to be; and that I have written,And there I leave it."An abandoned boy and his search for acceptance. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге David Copperfield. Volume One (Charles Dickens)
