Description
"Those who had before known her, and had expected to behold her dimmed and obscured by a disastrous cloud, were astonished, and even startled, to perceive how her beauty shone out, and made a halo of the misfortune and ignominy in which she was enveloped." /The Scarlet Letter/
"She was selfordained a Sister of Mercy, or, we may rather say, the worldβs heavy hand had so ordained her, when neither the world nor she looked forward to this result. The letter was the symbol of her calling." /The Scarlet Letter/
Two of the three quotes in the book I live by. Just read this artwork and was so relatable to me.
