Sometimes in an outlying house a light in one erratic, unexpected window would give them a nameless hint of the hundred human secrets which they left behind them with their dust.
有时,一座偏僻屋子里某扇意想不到的窗亮着灯,仿佛向他们隐约透露着无数人间秘密,而那些秘密与扬起的尘土一道,被他们抛在身后。
— G. K. Chesterton · The Ball and the Cross · IX · The Strange Lady —
