Love in Cholera Period-Selected Works (1)

P5: Many times, it pains him to think that the future of this city is conceived in this gallery composed of photos taken inadvertently. He will be ruled by those uncertain children, and will eventually be destroyed by them, and even his once brilliant ashes will no longer exist.

HerRemia de Saint-Amor loves life with a meaningless passion. He loves the sea, loves love, loves his dog and loves her.

P 17: She won't shed a tear, waste the rest of her life, suffer in the maggot broth of slowly cooked memories, bury herself alive in the middle of four walls, and sew a shroud for herself every day, even though this is what local people like widows to do. She is going to buy Remia de San Amor's house: according to the arrangement in the suicide note, the house and everything in it will belong to her from now on. After that, she will continue to live in the grave of the poor waiting for death as before, without regret, because she has experienced happiness here.

P 17: (Because of this city) It is still a hot and dry city, and the night is still full of things that make him feel terrible, but at the same time, it still makes people feel the loneliness of adolescence. Here, flowers will rust and salt will rot. For four centuries, nothing has happened here except slowly aging in withered laurel trees and rotten swamps.

They just celebrated their golden wedding. None of them can leave each other, and they can't even think about each other all the time, and with the growth of age, this situation is more and more. But neither he nor she can tell whether this interdependence is based on love or habit. They never asked themselves about it, because both of them would rather not know the answer.

P40: Dr. urbino doesn't think so: he doesn't think there is any difference between a liberal and a conservative president at all, except that the former's clothes are a little worse at best.

When reading books, especially novels, the interest of words is often more enjoyable than the plot or connotation-it is more direct.

P48: The husband is dying, but he is still fighting the fatal blow of death at the last minute, so that she can come in time. Leaving her alone in this way, he felt extremely painful, and through tears, he recognized her in the flustered crowd. He gave her one last look. In two and a half centuries of common life, she has never seen her eyes so bright, so sad and so grateful. He swallowed his last breath and said to her, Only God knows how much I love you.

She begged God to give her even a little time to let her husband know that she would always love him no matter what doubts they had. She felt an irresistible strong desire to start over with him and start a new life, so that they could tell each other what they had not said and do all the wrong things in the past again.

chapter two

P59: As for florentino Ariza, she hasn't been missed for a moment since Dana Dasa, played by Fermin, turned him down without leaving any room after their long and blocked love. Fifty-one years, nine months and four days have passed. There is no need to write a memo on the wall or online in the basement every day, because nothing that happens every day will remind him of her.

P63: From seven o'clock in the morning, he sat alone on a bench in the garden, pretending to read a collection of poems under the shade of apricot trees, until he saw the elusive girl passing by. She wore a blue striped school uniform, stockings with garters stretching to her knees, men's booties with crossed shoelaces at her feet, a thick braid hanging from her back to her waist, and a bow tied at the end of the braid. She walks like a little doe, as if completely free from gravity.

Florentino ariza watched them go back and forth four times a day, and there was another chance to watch them walk out of the church after Sunday mass. He is satisfied as long as he can see the girl he loves. Slowly, he idealized her and attributed all the inevitable virtues and imaginary emotions to her. Two weeks later, he thought nothing but her.

She said to her son, "When you are young, make good use of this opportunity and try your best to taste all the hardships." "This kind of thing will never happen in my life."

P74: She reminded him that the weak can never enter the kingdom of love, because this is a harsh and stingy country, and women will only bow to strong-willed men, because only such men will give them a sense of security, and they are eager for that sense of security to face the test of life.

This is the only love view that Ariza can give. She has the experience of an old man and the care of her mother, but she also has the desolation and helplessness of being widowed for life.

P79: One night, without any warning, Fermin Nadassa was awakened by a violin solo serenade, which kept repeating the melody of this waltz. He trembled, because he heard clearly, every note expressed gratitude, the petals sent to him, and her fear of the exam, because she cared more about natural science than he did. But she still can't believe that florentino Ariza would do such a rash thing.

In the letter that day, florentino Ariza confirmed that he serenaded it. He wrote the waltz himself, and the title represents the image of Fermin Dasa in his mind: the goddess Corolla.

P99: One night, when she came back from a walk every day, she was dismayed to hear that she could be happy not only without love, but also if she ran counter to love. This statement made her panic.

P 100: The fortune-telling card told her that there was no obstacle in the future to prevent her from enjoying a long and happy marriage. This prediction made her breathe a sigh of relief, because she never thought that the person who shared such a happy fate with herself might not be the one she loved at the moment.

P 1 14: He thinks she is so beautiful, so charming and so different, so he can't understand why no one is as fascinated by the beautiful sound of her heel stepping on the road brick as he is, and no one is as heartbroken by the rustling of her skirt as he is. Why the whole world? He doesn't miss her smile, nor does he miss any display of her noble character, but he is afraid to get close to her for fear of killing such infatuation.

P 1 17: At that moment, she suddenly realized that she had told a big lie. She asked herself in panic how she could let such a phantom occupy her heart so cruelly for so long. She just wanted to say, "My God! This poor man! " Florentino Ariza smiled at him and tried to say something to her and wanted to go with her, but she waved and erased him from her life-"No, please don't." She said to him, "Forget it."

It's like the moon, but it's like dust.
