Thomas Hardy, The Woodlanders
"The physiognomy of a deserted highway expresses solitude to a degree that is not reached by mere dales or downs, and bespeaks a tomb-like stillness more emphatic than that of glades and pools. The contrast of what is with what might be, probably accounts for this."

"إن هيئة الطريق السريع المهجور تعبر عن الوحدة بدرجة لا تبلغها مجرد الوديان أو التلال، وتنطق بسكون شبيه بالقبور أشد وضوحًا من سكون الغابات والبرك. ولعل التباين بين ما هو كائن وما يمكن أن يكون هو ما يفسر ذلك."
