‚Pero la verdad es que estoy cansada, horriblemente cansada de ser la esposa femenina de ese animal masculino que se rasca, pierde el pelo sistema¤  ticamente y canta tangos pasados de moda!† Quisiera†quisiera engordar, fumar un puro y enviudar de una manera indolora y elegante. The truth is, I'm tired, frightfully tired of being the feminine spouse to the masculine animal who scratches himself, systematically loses his hair and sings outdated tangos!† I'd like† I'd like to get fat, to smoke cigars and to become a widow in a painless and elegant fashion.

  Of Miss Newson. The Mayor of Casterbridge, ch.15.

  Percy Dacier's opinion of Diana. Diana of the Crossways, ch.28.

No writer, sacred or profane, ever uses the words 'he'or 'him'of the soul. It is always 'she'or 'her'; so universal is theintuitive knowledgethatthesoul, with regard to God who is her life, is feminine.
