All his childhood and youth had been troubled by a vague unrest ; he had never known what he wanted , but he had wanted something that he had hunted vainly for until he met Ruth . And now his unrest had become sharp and painful , and he knew at last , clearly and definitely , that it was beauty , and intellect , and love that he must have .
Все его детство и юность были тревожены смутными волнениями; он никогда не знал, чего хочет, но он хотел чего-то, чего тщетно искал, пока не встретил Рут. И теперь его беспокойство стало острым и болезненным, и он понял наконец, ясно и определенно, что именно красота, и ум, и любовь должны быть у него.
