It was then that the ecstasy and the dream began, in which emotion was the matter of the universe, and matter but an adventitious intrusion likely to hinder you from spinning where you wanted to spin.
就在那时,狂喜与梦境开始了:情感成了宇宙的实体,而物质不过是偶然闯入的障碍,妨碍你随心旋转。
— Thomas Hardy · Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891) · Chapter X —
