The Virgin and the Gypsy



"She liked that mysterious endurance in him, which endures in opposition, without any idea of victory. And she liked that peculiar added relentlessness, the disillusion in hostility, which belongs to after the war. Yes, if she belonged to any side, and to any clan, it was to his. Almost she could have found in her heart to go with him, and be a pariah Gypsy-Woman."

D.H. Lawrence
The Virgin and the Gypsy
